About Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro schwingt sich zwischen Berge und Ozean: berühmte Strände, Granitgipfel, Sambarhythmen und ein weltbekannter Karneval.

Christus der Erlöser steht mit ausgebreiteten Armen auf dem Corcovado und blickt auf die Stadt hinab, und Seilbahnen fahren auf den Zuckerhut für Ausblicke über die Guanabara-Bucht. Darunter sind die Strände von Copacabana und Ipanema die Bühne des Alltags, mit Volleyball, Kiosken und der wellenförmig gemusterten Promenade, während Leblon und Arpoador den Streifen fortsetzen.

Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
