Attractions in Rio de Janeiro
When it comes to Rio de Janeiro attractions, it's difficult to know where to start. The city is home to some of the most famous landmarks on the planet - from the iconic Christ statue to the beaches of Ipanema and Copacanbana.
Tourists visiting Rio de Janeiro should have no qualms about following the tourist hordes to the big attractions, to visit Rio without visiting Sugar Loaf mountain, the city beaches and Christ the Redeemer would be a missed opportunity indeed.
Sports fans in Rio de Janeiro will be equally keen to visit the Maracana Stadium - currently undergoing a multi-million dollar revamp ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
For anyone lucky enough to be in the city for Rio Carnival, don't miss the chance to bag tickets for the fantastically extravagant carnival parades at the vast, purpose-built Sambodromo.
More low-key Rio de Janeiro attractions can be found in and around Centro, home to some of the city's oldest buildings as well as kooky attractions such as the 'Selaron Steps' (Escadaria Selaron) and the Arcos da Lapa.
