Rio de Janeiro

Where to stay
mapAccommodation overview

In 2026, Rio de Janeiro's accommodation market has solidified the South Zone as the epicenter of quality and safe tourism. Copacabana remains the number one choice for those seeking the city's iconic status, with unbeatable transport and service logistics. Ipanema and Leblon represent the pinnacle of sophistication, ideal for a crowd that prioritizes refined gastronomy and beaches with a more exclusive atmosphere.

For travelers seeking more cultural and immersive experiences, the Santa Teresa neighborhood offers a historical refuge with panoramic views, ideal for couples or longer, tranquil stays. Barra da Tijuca is recommended for families, seeking spacious resorts, complete leisure activities, and preferring to be away from the city's hustle and bustle while maintaining international comfort standards. Safety in the tourist neighborhoods of the South Zone remains reinforced by the "Presente" program, ensuring greater peace of mind for tourists moving between key points.
