Getting Around
Metro
Rio's Metro costs R$4.60 per ride, operates from 5am-midnight (9am on weekends), and efficiently connects key areas like Copacabana, Ipanema, and Centro. To save money, buy a prepaid MetroCard at any station; it offers discounts and avoids the need for cash at ticket counters.
On Foot
Walking in Rio de Janeiro is free and allows you to explore vibrant neighborhoods like Santa Teresa and Lapa, but always keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas. For added safety, avoid walking alone at night and stick to well-lit streets.

We hit up Sugarloaf Mountain and saw some stunning views! One more dream came true! 💖
We spent 5 hours there! 5, can you believe it? Totally worth it!
We saw and watched the daily, evening, and night views of Rio. 💖 The entry fee is around $15 (~$1450). And it’s totally worth it!
They also offered to do a paragliding or helicopter ride for $11 (~$98), but it only lasts 30 minutes. With such a magnificent viewpoint, these short rides lose out on time, conditions, and pricing. So, we called an Uber and headed for dinner. 😅
The view from all sides is simply breathtaking! »
