B-E-A-UUUtiful city. Seriously, probably one of the prettiest places I’ve ever been. I 1000% want to come back here some day. So much to do, and everyone was so nice, and unfortunately we were only there for a week so I was left wanting so much more. Brazil, you have my heart 🫶

Rio was overall amazing! The food, weather and people were great, I got to experience the carnival and I met many other travelers. I was just worried about getting my phone stolen but I kept it in my purse when I’m walking in the streets and I took Uber at night.

What a great trip to Brazil last year at carnival time. We visited Rio, Paraty and Ilha Grande. :) This year planned a trip to Salvador and other places in August 🫶😊 I am looking forward to a great time with amazing food, great views and a great culture to enjoy.

Generally safe, important to be aware of your surroundings and not walk alone at night. Is safe to use public transport and walk alone during the day. The downtown can be dangerous at night, so be with other people.

Its average, good but pay atention everywhere you go if you are alone. You can wear any clothes you want (they will stare at you but If you have someone by your side and be smart youll be okay) and you can walk with your cellphone in hands, just be carefull at night

It's a beautiful place, but you need to be careful! Enjoy the city and discover wonderful places and amazing people! Besides that, there are spots for every taste, from coffee shops to nightclubs. Prices are average and you can have a lot of fun.

paraty is very safe! i’ve lived here for years and have never had any problems, and tourists usually don’t either. i’d definitely recommend it for anyone taking their first solo trip. the city is welcoming, easy to explore on foot, and the locals are friendly and helpful. there are beautiful beaches, waterfalls, and a charming historic center to enjoy.
