Top Five Places to Visit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

-


Rio de Janeiro is one of the most coveted places to visit among travelers because of numerous interesting sights that can be found in this lively city. I haven’t been to Rio yet but this city is definitely in my bucket list and I have also started saving up for a trip to Brazil in the near future and then onwards to other countries in South America.

 Here are five places that I intend to check out when I visit Rio de Janeiro:

 Christ the Redeemer and Corcovado Mountain



The Christ the Redeemer statue located in Corcovado Mountain is definitely the most iconic image not only of Rio de Janeiro but also of Brazil. Every time I think of Brazil, the image of this statue immediately pops into my mind. The statue is gigantic – standing at 98 feet tall. Aside from the statue, visiting the peak of Corcovado Mountain will definitely give me a nice view of Rio’s beaches, favelas and the picturesque Sugarloaf Mountains.

 Sugarloaf Mountain



Sugarloaf Mountains is another iconic landmark of Rio and a very picturesque mountain as well. It can be viewed from different parts of the city. Hiking this mountain can be a daunting task especially for those who are not fond of it, fortunately there are cable cars that can take you to the summit.

 Copacabana



Copacabana is one of the most popular beaches not only in Brazil but also in the whole world. It has been mentioned in numerous literature and even popularized in some songs. A huge party and spectacular fireworks is also being staged yearly during New Year’s Eve in Copacabana and it would definitely be great to celebrate NYE in this beach with some of my friends.

 Ipanema



Ipanema is another popular beach in Rio that I’ll definitely include in my itinerary when I get the chance to visit Brazil. This beach has been widely popularized by the song’ “Girl from Ipanema.” Sunset seems to be amazing at this picturesque beach especially at the western side where you could see two mountains called Dois Irmaos.

 Downtown Rio



One of my favorite things to do when traveling to any country is to visit the downtown and explore its streets, check out its markets, eat street foods and also go to some museums to learn some things about the history and culture of Rio.

Calpurnia, Europe - Is this Country a Real Place? The Story, Facts, Location

Calpurnia is a small, snowy country located to the south west of the French Alps. But wait a minute... only in our imaginations. This fantasy country is the concoction of the film 'A Royal Winter', and so, sadly, can not be visited in real life. In this 2017 rom-com, a young woman flees to Europe for some soul searching and meets a prince who introduces her to a world different from any she has ever known. South West of the French Alps? Of course, we could draw inspiration from the location given for this imaginary country, and take a visit to the South East of France. Perhaps you could consider a visit to the city of Grenoble, which lies in the Auverge-Rhône-Alpes region of the country, at the foot of the mountains between two rivers. Grenoble is a centre for winter sports and is well known for its museums, universities and cultural attractions. Here you can take one of the bubble-like cable cars to the summit of the hill at the heart of the city to visit the 18th ce

As digital nomads, we often rely on internet to get our work done regardless of where we go. Sometimes, we spend a great deal of time, in our hostels/hotels, restaurants with wifi and coffee shops. Coffee shops would probably be one of the most popular place among digital nomads and other internet workers as they’re often more quiet, affordable, comfortable and provides fast wifi in comparison to restaurants. Here are some tip on how you can stay productive while working from coffee shops anywhere in the world: Prepare Your Stuff Before You Go Write down what you want to accomplish before you go to the coffee shop of your choice. If you’re thinking of editing pictures, then make sure to bring your portable harddrive where you usually save your pics. Bring your laptop charger, smartphone, notebook and pen and your travel adapter to make sure that your plug fits their socket. Travel adapters are very helpful especially when you go to different countries every now and then. Choo
