Ipanema Beach. That's where I live. It is frequented by a mix of Cariocas, Brazilian tourists and some International tourists. Very crowded, the place between Posto 9 and 10 is where the Carioca youth usually go. Between Posto 8 and 9, it is the place for LGBT people and their friends go. In Posto 7, there is a very beautiful place called Arpoador, the rocks that separate Ipanema from Copacabana, frequented by surfers, it is a very nice point to see the sunset in Ipanema. Just take care with your belongings and the opportunistic kids.

Leblon Beach. Separated from Ipanema by Jardim de Ala and a canal that connects the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas to the Atlantic, Leblon Beach is the mile long exclusive beach area at the base of the twin peaks Dois Irmaos. Less touristic and less crowded, this is my preferred beach in Zona Sul. Frequented mostly by locals and families, you should stay at Posto 11 height, more specifically at Joao's Tent (Barraca do João). Search for Joao, Duda and tells them you were recommend by Paulinho, son of Paulo and Esther, they will treat you as king!!

Frequented by Locals; Very nice place to rest and admire Rio de Janeiro Nature views and landscapes. Around the Lagoa there is a bike lane 7 km, which provides a great space for physical activities. Besides being the most visited leisure area of the city, the lagoon has the largest gastronomic center outdoor Latin America, along it there are about 25 kiosks offering different dining options for the day and also at night where visitors can enjoy including lots of live music.

Copacabana Beach. Prefer the beaches in Ipanema and Leblon, next posts. Although I recommend you to visit Copacabana once and drink a Brahma Chopp (local Brazilian draught beer - although it is not a draft beer, technically, as it is made in different local unpasteurized procedure) in the sidewalk kiosks, you should prefer the beaches in Ipanema and Leblon. Copacabana is too much touristic, there will be a lot of people interrupting you and trying to sell you all kind of stuffs, and sadly, there may be some opportunistic steelers. Avoid the restaurants in Copacana also, except for the bars in the Rua Bolívar, which usually have good appetizers and cold beers/chopps.

Drinks & Nightlife

Bar; Restaurant; Good prices; Frequented by Locals; Live Music; Anytime; Night life; Walking Distance Great place to drink, eat, meet people and listen to good live music. This is the bar I go to meet my friends, watch Soccer Matches or UFC on TV, drink cold beer and eat Brazilian appetizers. Ask for the Caldinho de Bobó (small shrimp soup in a glass), simply delicious. Choose a table outside to enjoy the weather and see the movement on the street... Tell the waiters you are my friend (Paulinho), and they will treat you very well :)

Rio Scenarium is the place to go for a samba night in Lapa. From Tuesdays to Sundays they offer two nightly concerts, always figuring top performers. The house itself is another attraction: it used to be an antiques store and much of the collection was kept - just check the wall full of old clocks in the second floor. On weekends the lines can get quite long, so arrive early.  The townhouse of Lavradio Street, which was a major contributor to the revitalization of the historic center of Rio Antigo, houses a concert hall, a restaurant and an antique shop. It is frequented by locals of all age groups and for many tourists. In the musical menu, samba, choro and gafieira.

Cristo Redentor. World famous Christ the Redeemer, "Cristo Redentor", the iconic statue. One of the world's wonders! Book and Schedule your visit at the official site of the train that takes you to the Christ statue - Trem do Corcovado (https://ticket.corcovado.com.br). The best way to get there is by Uber or taxi (as I always say, I recommend Uber!), up to the square plaza of the train station. I do not recommend the touristics vans and cars that offer to take to the statue. Therefore, book the train and enjoy the ride and the view, up to the Christ!

Lapa is a traditional neighborhood in Rio, with lot of life and energy. Nowadays it is a very touristic place, although you can find locals also. From a run down neighborhood to a hub for music and nightlife, Lapa has several typical eateries and live music places. You will find all kind of people and tribes, reflecting the Brazilian culture and diversity, all in one place. I recommend you to walk through the streets in the evening, choose a bar to have some beers, listen to Samba and other Brazilian music, or choose one of the famous nightclubs, like Lapa 40 graus and Rio Scenarium. On Saturdays, it is also worth to have a walk during the day, see the arts and the antiquariums.

Restaurant; Sandwiches; Very Traditional; Good prices; Late night food; The best sandwiches in Rio since 1959. Cervantes is great for fast bites that don't hurt your wallet. They even have fresh beer on tap ("chopp") and other drinks. It is a must if you want to experience the colorful lifestyle of locals. At night the place tends to get loud, so come early and leave before the dusk. You have to eat their Potato salad while you wait their desided Pork Fillet Mignon or Rostbeef Sandwiches with pineapple, yes, believe it, they put pineapple in the sandwich.
