Itinerary
Admire the sidewalks and the buildings all around. We do not stop for swimming. We focus on the architecture aspects around us.
We stop in front of the hotel to pay attention to the architecture of this beautiful modern building.
The SESC Copacabana is a precious hidden architectural modern building that people take for granted. Most people never stop in front of it to admire its shape.
As we stroll through the Copacabana beach, we stop in front of the Museu da Imagem e do Som. It is still under construction, but we can appreciate the modern style of the building.
From Copacabana, we go to Laranjeiras, a different neighborhood in Rio. We pass through the gate and admire the trees, the pound and the flowers in the area.
From Laranjeiras, we go to the Feira de São Cristóvão. Admire the interesting shape of the Feira de São Cristóvão. Stop for a quick bite (not included).
Admire the architecture of this building created during the modernization of the docks in Rio.
Located in Downtown Rio, the Capanema building is a beautiful example of modern art.
The shape of the cathedral makes it so unique when compared to other churches in the city.

About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.
Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.
