I went there with my Cousin (so it wasn't really as a couple) and we loved it, specially the beach "carro quebrado". If you go there and stay at a resort try to eat outside and visit less touristy beaches. Got some caipirinhas for R$15 or less and the food was really good! I do recommend going with a man tho and getting a car while being there, which makes it far less expensive then doing lots of tours

I loved the people and rio has a lot of nice places to go. It's the perfect combination between nature and city life. Take samba lessons if possible, it's totally worth the experience! Motorcycle rides sometimes could be cheaper than you may think

Overlooked by many foreigners, mostly locals travel to Northeast Brazil. Definitely recommend visiting Olinda, very small cute historic town also had a big carnaval festival every year different to Rio. The music is great - you’ll hear Forro and Briga everywhere which is also different to Rios samba / Pagode / baile funk vibe and driving further down south there are great beaches, can also do horse riding by the beach and surfing which I loved

In the central region, like Sé, Luz and Parque Dom Pedro II are little bit dangerous, is not recommended to take your cellphones, if you are lost, enter in some grocery, restaurant to check your phone, never get it at the street.
Posted: March 29, 2026It’s a city very safe, just don’t walk alone in the night where is less people or dark places. In general, it's a good place, just be aware like others places, and don’t give money for homeless people

São Paulo is the largest city in Latin America, and, like all cities, it has criminals, so you need to be constantly vigilant with your bag and avoid using cell phones in the street, as someone could steal them.
