Travel Tips & Safety

Here we'll talk about some tips to move around the city. We will go a little dip into safety but you should always check official travel guidance too.

Getting around

Rio has a wide variety of means of transportation. Taxis, ride-sharing, buses and metro in some areas are some of them. Tourists often stay in popular areas so they can travel more easily.

Basic safety

Like many big cities, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Keep valuables secure and plan routes in advance. Pro tip: Don't hire a car if you don't know the city. Sat nav's can get you in some dangerous places.

Planning

It can help to plan a rough itinerary so you don’t waste time travelling across the city too much in one day. A good idea is to group places by area.
