Couples looking for a romantic break in Rio de Janeiro - there are more romantic things to do in Rio de Janeiro than even the most starry-eyed of couples could imagine.
The stunning backdrop of towering jungle-clad mountains, soft sandy beaches and crashing waves will have your pulse racing as soon as you arrive, and taking the cable car up to Sugar Loaf at sunset is one of the most romantic things to do in Rio de Janeiro.
Happily for travelers on a budget, you won't need to have mega-bucks to enjoy romantic outings in Rio de Janeiro - a stroll along the sands of Ipanema costs nothing, and nor will you have to spend a centavo to take in the beautiful sunset from the jutting rock at Arpoador.
Couples in Rio de Janeiro can escape the heat of a city with a trip to explore the beautiful islands close to Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro state, or get away from the crowds with a stroll around Rio's beautiful Botanical Gardens.
Rio de Janeiro loves lovers, and public displays of affection are far from frowned on. Enjoy a meal at one of Rio's many excellent restaurants (Espirito Santa is a good mid-range option) and feel free to do all the kissing and hand-holding that you like.
Whether you're heading to Rio de Janeiro for a romantic break with a long-term love or hoping to impress a local with your smooth moves on an ultra-romantic break, you'll be spoilt for choice in Rio.
