“If you are taking a day to visit downtown Rio, Museu do Amanha is a nice place to stop. If you are short on time, the museum inside is not a must, but take a walk around the museum and Praça Mauá. Weekends have a lively vibe.”

“Take a fascinating cable car ride to see stunning views over Rio from this incredible mountain.”

“Less famous than its neighbor Jardim Botânico park, it's a nice place to visit. House of an Art School.”

“This monument, constructed to honor the Chinese workers that came to Rio to work with tea cultivation, in the 19th hundred century, is an amazing lookout point over Rio and also because you need to enter into the Tijuca National Forest to get there, the whole sight seeing trip becomes amazing. The Tijuca forest is know as the biggest urban rain forest in the world and houses hundreds of animal & plant species. Great for a day when you want to get away from the sun.”

“A Brazilian Art Museum, located at the Olympic Boulevard, renovated for the… yes, the Olympic Games. In the boulevard you’ll also find gigantic street art panels, an Aquarium, a recently opened giant ferris wheel and Calatrava’s Museu do Amanhã. Oh, and exquisite views from Baia de Guanabara. If you happen to be there near dusk, try to catch the sunset from MAR’s balcony in the last floor.”
