What to do and see in Centro, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Traveler Resources

April 4, 2022 Timmy Ribble

With its plentiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and backdrop of samba and bossa nova rhythms, it's easy to fall in love with Rio de Janeiro. Made famous in song, Ipanema Beach is still the place to stroll, sunbathe, and be seen. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, Christ the Redeemer, beckons visitors to Corcovado Mountain. Rio’s annual Carnaval celebrations are bacchanalian extravaganzas of feasting, music, dance, and costumed revelry.

The library is so beautiful and makes you think that you're in a library in the Harry Potter world. Definitely worth going here. The entrance is free.
