About the book

Synopsis

Rio de Janeiro is now branding itself 'the world's most exciting city' and it's difficult to argue with that. A beach holiday destination like no other, Rio squeezes a heady mix of legendary opulence and favelas into the narrow and verdant strip between its awe-inspiring beaches and steep mountains.

Aside from vital tips on how to experience the city at its best, from baile funk parties to the best boutique hotels, the book includes guides to the best relaxing destinations close by. Written by Rio-based journalists and writers, the Time Out Rio de Janeiro city guide is an insiders' guide to the world capital of football, samba, bossa nova, beachwear and parties.
