The 21 best castles in and around Rio de Janeiro

Absolutely stunning. From the tram to the top, walking up the rest of the way and enjoying the incredible views at the top. Yes it is very busy and it probably will be all day every day, so just be prepared! It is still well worth the trip. Everything about it was so much fun. Be prepared to lie down on the floor to get good photos!! You also get to see monkeys, helicopters, paragliders and much more. Also the ice cream is delicious at the top. Obviously everything is well over priced whilst up there!

Visiting Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro is one of those magical experiences that touch your heart. The moment you see the statue standing high above the city, surrounded by clouds and sunlight, it feels truly special. The view from the top of Corcovado is breathtaking the ocean, the mountains, and the city below all blend into one stunning panorama. There’s something peaceful and spiritual about being up there. Even with many visitors around, you can still feel a deep sense of calm and awe. The train ride through the lush forest adds to the experience, making the journey as beautiful as the destination. It’s a place that makes you feel grateful, inspired, and connected to nature, to faith, and to life itself. An absolute must-visit when in Rio.

A fullfilment of one of my traveling dreams was to visit the statue and admire the views over the city. Might be crowded from time to time but with some spare time you'll get to experience everything easily with one visit. Pre-purchased tickets recommended and can be changed for instance due to weather conditions.

It’s unthinkable to visit Rio without getting up close to this iconic statue. Access via the inclined tramway, a few steps and an escalator is easy. It was very misty when I visited and so not too crowded. Thankfully the mist lifted enough to see this beautiful statue, although views of the city remained really limited. The little chapel built into the rear of the statue was a pleasant surprise. I can’t begin to imagine how crowded it must get on a clear day, but you must visit.

There’s literally nothing to say about this attraction other than wow. The feeling you get seeing something in person after seeing it so many times on TV is amazing. I’m surprised how organised they are. They have lift an escalators on top of the mountain. They are plenty of shops and food court. They do daily shows like Samba dancing.

An extraordinary wonder of the world. With a convenient short train ride to the top and immense popularity among crowds, it offers spectacular views, is inhabited by monkeys in the area, and boasts an amazing statue and a lovely church, representing an iconic aspect of Rio that is not to be missed.

Great view from the top. We had an organised tour and got u quickly. Extremely busy on the top even still. Would be nice to hike up if you have the time in Rio. 4 days is not enough to see all of Rio.

The most spectacular place in Rio, highly recommended. Sugar Loaf Mountain has a 360-degree view, unlike Corcovado with a limited viewpoint. Sugar Loaf offers a 360-degree view. You can see the Santos Dumont Intl. Airport and runway, the bridge to Niteroi, the beaches and neighborhoods of Ipanema, Copacabana, Botafogo, Leme and Flamengo. Your photos with such a background will be excellent. There is a cafe at the top where you can see the magnificent Copacabana.

One of the places you must visit as a tourist in Rio. The journey to the peak is in two stages, both via cable cars. The queues move quickly and the journeys are smooth. Preferential access is available for wheelchair users. The primary reason for visiting is the views, although my visit was on a very misty day and opportunities were limited. There are plenty of toilets and places for refreshments. Also upmarket souvenir stalls. Still worth visiting on a misty day!

Very good attraction. It gets really busy so be prepared to be pushing and shoving. Everybody is trying to get the best spot to record the videos. They do have nice foods and souvenir shop on top of the mountain. There is always entertainment going on like live music.

Sugarloaf in Rio offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city, beaches, and mountains, absolutely worth the visit. The cable car ride is smooth and scenic. It can get very crowded, especially during peak hours, so try to go early or on a weekday. There are a few shops and places to grab a snack at the top, but prices are a bit high. Still, the overall experience is unforgettable and a must-do while in Rio!

The lines move fairly quickly and there are great views. You take two different cable cars to get to the top and you have a wristband with a QR code that you will repeatedly scan to go up and then back down in the cable cars. Definitely worth it for the views alone.

We came with a group of six, the weather wasn’t the best to be honest. It was about 18° cloudy with a little bit of rain. There was no line probably because of that. However, we got our tickets pretty quickly on our way to the top. Everything was efficient and smooth, no complaints. I would do it again. Actually probably not. This is not something you do multiple times. Lol

The cable cars for the sugarloaf start from the Parque bondinho spot. There is a stopover at another mountain before you reach here. I recommend the place for stunning views of the city. You can also see the Cristo far away. On a nice and sunny day,Pão de Azuçar is the best choice. The name of the mountain comes from the Portuguese who used to get Sugar being shipped in containers which looked similar in shape of the mountains. This was narrated by our guide and not sure about the authenticity.

PLACE OF UNIQUE BEAUTY,,WIDE AND VAST FOREST AND LAKES. IDEAL FOR A NICE PIKE. WITH BIKES YOU RENT FOR A GREAT RIDE. ZO IN GOOD CONDITION,SEVERAL KIOSKS FOR A GOOD MEAL. ALSO HAS A CIRCUS INSIDE THE PARK.

Nice park with not a lot of tree cover.

Nice park. Highly recommended. Nice views and walks.

The park of Quinta da Boa Vista was very good but sadly the zoo was not open because we did go there to visit animals but we couldn't because the zoo is under construction they're fixing the place that why it close it opening only next year

Very nice place to run or just to walk around and be in contact with nature. This is my every day place!!

Beautiful park that shows part of the history of the country. Plenty of space and also the zoo is at the end of the park. Sad is that the whole are outside does not reflect the beauty of the inside. They could also create a playground area for those who do not wish to visit the zoo.

A very calm, comfortable place to hang out or even to be with boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife and make a picnic, take lots of photos, and so on. It combines history, fancy with nature - good for relaxing. Police is everywhere, so it's safe.

Great visit, it could open more rooms for visitation.

First was call rats island then cobras island then finally called fiscal island. Amazingly the night that the republic was voted and proclaimed, it was during an inaugural enormous party thrown by the then royal of Brazil, and it was its last night as a ruler

Highly recommend visiting Ilha Fiscal. It’s a palace where was organized the last party of the Imperium in November 1889. Architecture is beautiful, and the explanations of the tour guide are interesting. When I went they did it only in Portuguese though. The trip takes less than 2 hours including the boat trip to the island.

There is no boat trip available now, they board you on three buses and give a ride there. You can only visit three small rooms downstairs the castle. Disappointing.

The organisation is terrible. Tried three times to visit the ilha fiscal. Either the island is closed or the boat is not functioning or something... And it's never on the website, impossible to use the website. Good grief. Can't book tickets on the website, no English support, times are all over the place...it's poor. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating but the organisation is poor.

When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.

The famous ball of the empire. Just before november 15, 1889. *****

Not too many exhibits or description in English but it’s free and huge!

Former imperial home now home of the arts. There are a couple of exhbits that can be found within its walls. Its free to view and there are also restaurants inside. They won't let you take videos but pictures are ok.

We went to see an art collective at this place, and the experience was amazing! A great opportunity to explore Brazilian culture through art.

baroque style architecture; where Golden Law was signed that ends slavery in Brazil, 1888

Unexpected exhibition, gallery, nice view from 2nd floor were all great. I highly recommend to go there.

Beautiful museum for art lovers and also to spend some time in the historical building. Restaurant available.

Great place to learn about Brazilian history. Good and tasty food at the restaurant at normal prices.

Parque Lage in Rio felt like a hidden paradise — lush gardens, tall palm trees, and that iconic mansion with the view of Christ the Redeemer rising behind it. I loved wandering the quiet trails and taking photos by the pool. It’s the kind of place where nature, art, and peace beautifully come together.

Because this place is a major tourist attraction, come prepared to wait in line for a long time in order to get a picture. There is a lack of organization that made it a little difficult but the view of Cristo was incredible. We were told that the food was not the best so we decided to skip eating there but the 2 hour wait for pictures was definitely worth it. There was slight cloud coverage so we had to be patient but once it revealed itself, it was truly a sight to see. Definitely be prepared to stand in line for a least an hour regardless what day you go, and either bring a hat or umbrella and waters (or you can purchase some there) because it gets extremely hot.

Parque Lage is a stunning park nestled within Tijuca National Park, offering a lush tropical forest experience right in the heart of Rio. It features a scenic trail that leads up to Corcovado Mountain and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Along the way, you’ll encounter a variety of wildlife, especially birds and playful monkeys like marmosets and capuchins. Peaceful, beautiful, and rich in biodiversity, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Rio’s natural side.

Beautiful free park, with a log of birds and monkeys to watch. It has some bulging inside that gives it a totally magic sensation

Nice family park. Nice palace, but would like more info on its history. People posing for selfies are very inconsiderate of others. How many ways can one pose? Clean bathrooms at entrance. Looks like nice restaurant inside the palace. There is a food vendor next to the palace. No tickets necessary. It is a good place for more views of the Redeemer.

Parque Lage is a true gem in Rio de Janeiro and an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a blend of nature, history, and culture in the heart of the city. Nestled at the foot of Corcovado Mountain, this park offers a peaceful escape from the urban bustle, surrounded by lush Atlantic rainforest where you might spot monkeys, toucans, and a variety of exotic plants. The highlight of Parque Lage is its stunning neo-Romanesque mansion, which now houses the Escola de Artes Visuais (School of Visual Arts). The mansion’s elegant architecture, complete with a picturesque courtyard and pool, is a perfect backdrop for photos and often hosts art exhibitions and cultural events. The on-site Plage Café is a fantastic spot to relax with a coffee or breakfast, offering views of the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in the distance. Wandering through the park, you’ll find beautifully landscaped gardens inspired by European designs, tranquil lakes, charming bridges, and even an enchanting grotto with stalactites and stalagmites. For adventure seekers, Parque Lage is also the starting point for the scenic hiking trail up to Christ the Redeemer, providing a unique perspective of Rio’s natural beauty. Entry is free, making it accessible to everyone. Whether you’re interested in art, photography, a leisurely stroll, or simply soaking in the serene atmosphere, Parque Lage will leave you enchanted. Highly recommended for families, couples, and solo travelers alike-don’t miss this magical corner of Rio de Janeiro.

Absolutely beautiful you can see the Christ of redeemer from the bottom and the park is just amazing with so much wildlife and the rock formations is super cool

Interesting collection of imperial and contemporary art. Cost R8 to get in. Well worth it. Contains the largest painting ever commissioned in Brazil. Make sure you ask for a headset guide. It wasn’t offered to me, so I didn’t even know it was an option until too late.

Amazing fine arts' museum. Many galleries showcasing national and international paintings. There is a sculpture gallery and temporary exhibitions as well. What I like the most is the the Battle of Avaí painting which was painted in small parts to make an amazing 600cm x 1100cm mega painting. If you're in Rio, I'm a local guide here. Feel free to get in touch with me through any social media: @DEBOMZAI

Nice museum with many different rooms where can you can find different modern art and classic Brazilian art from 19th and early 20th. If you are in the area, I strongly recommend to pay a visit !

A very neat building in a great part of Rio to explore. The collection itself was not very big or diverse, but they have several worthwhile pieces. Right now they have hashtags beneath a lot of the paintings, which to me was a bit tacky but also pretty funny (things like #selfie under self portraits). There is a small admission fee to enter.

Super super super Lame!!! One room with plaster statues. Thank god I didn’t pay anything.

An excellent place to visit you want to learn more about Brazilian history through local and international painter's eyes.

Beautiful museum. Lovely displays

(Translated by Google) They are always beautiful and this church of the Rosary and Saint Benedict of the Black Men, located on Uruguaiana Street in downtown Rio de Janeiro, is no slouch. The altar is simple, but beautiful, both inside and out. It is worth a visit. (Original) São sempre todas belas e esta igreja do Rosário e São Benedito dos homens pretos que fica localizada na rua Uruguaiana no Centro do Rio de Janeiro, não deixa a desejar. Altar simples, mas belíssima, por fora e por dentro. Vale a pena conhecer.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful old church in the center of Rio. Simple but imposing, it takes us back to another era. Step inside and immerse yourself in its peaceful surroundings, away from the chaos that is happening in the busy market of Urugaiana. Then go for food and shopping. (Original) Ωραία παλιά εκκλησία στο κέντρο του Ρίο. Απλή αλλά επιβλητική μάς μεταφέρει σε άλλες εποχές. Μπείτε μέσα και αφεθείτε στο ήσυχο περιβάλλον της μακριά απ το χαμό που γίνεται οξου στην πολυσύχναστη αγορά της Ουρουγαιανας. Μετά πάτε για φαΐ και ψώνια.

(Translated by Google) Simple church, without many ornaments, next to the popular market of Uruguaiana. (Original) Igreja simples, sem muitos ornamentos, ao lado do mercado popular da Uruguaiana.

(Translated by Google) The “brotherhood of Our Lady of the Rosary and of Black Men” sheltered black and mixed-race people in Rio de Janeiro in the 1640s, and was located on Morro do Castelo (which was completely demolished at the beginning of the 20th century). In the 1700s, the “brotherhood” moved to R. da Vala (today, R. Uruguaiana). But the current church, Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict of Black Men, was rebuilt after a fire in 1967 that destroyed its entire interior. Today, it appears to have a modern style and few ornaments, as practically nothing remained from the fire. Many members of this community were part of the brotherhood. The sculptor and urban planner known as Mestre Valentim was buried in the church in 1813. There is a bronze plaque at the entrance with this information. The church is quite large. Masses are held at noon from Monday to Friday. The Museu do Negro, which used to be located on the second floor of the church, was destroyed in a fire and later reopened. However, it is currently closed and is expected to reopen soon, with new collections. It has many stories related to slaves, which we will have the opportunity to learn about. “The Museu do Negro, through its exhibitions, revives the construction of a history of black people, which reflects their being and feeling in Brazilian society, an essential condition for the formation of black consciousness in the construction of Democracy in Brazil.” (Original) A “irmandade de N.Sra.do Rosário de dos Homens Pretos”, abrigava as pessoas negras e pardas no Rio de Janeiro, nos anos 1640, e estava situada lá no Morro do Castelo (que foi demolido totalmente no começo do séc.20). Nos anos 1700 a “irmandade” se mudou p/ R.da Vala (hoje, R.Uruguaiana). Mas essa igreja atual, N.Sra.do Rosário e São Benedito dos Homens Pretos, foi reconstruída depois de um incêndio, em 1967, que tinha destruído todo seu interior, e hoje, aparentemente tem estilo moderno, poucos adornos, pois praticamente nada sobrou do incêndio. Muitos membros dessa comunidade formaram parte da irmandade. O escultor e urbanista, conhecido como Mestre Valentim, foi enterrado na Igreja, em 1813. Na entrada apresenta uma placa de bronze com essa informação. A igreja é bem grande. As missas ao meio-dia de 2ª.feira à 6ª.feira. O Museu do Negro, que funcionava no 2º.andar da Igreja, foi destruído no incêndio, depois reaberto. Mas está fechado atualmente, com previsão de abertura em breve, com novos acervos. Tem muitas histórias relacionadas aos escravizados, que teremos a oportunidade de conhecer. “O Museu do Negro, através de suas exposições, revive a construção de uma história do negro, que reflita seu estar e sentir na sociedade brasileira, condição indispensável p/ a formação de uma consciência negra na construção da Democracia no Brasil”.

(Translated by Google) This church is right in the center of Uruguay and for those who don't know it, you have to pay close attention because when it's closed it looks like an old mansion but it's very traditional inside. (Original) Essa igreja fica bem no centro da uruguaia no centro e para quem não conhece tem que presta bastante atenção porque quando ela está fechada parece um casarão antigo mas é bem tradicional por dentro.

(Translated by Google) Very meaningful. I wish I had known about it before the fire. (Original) Muito significativa. Gostaria de ter conhecido antes do incêndio.

It's hard to believe this area is one of the 7 natural wonder of the world It's beautiful but there are many more beaitiful bays and harbours in the world

The bay is beautiful, but filthy. Do not, whatever you do, swim in here! It is highly polluted, and has incredibly toxic bacteria that will cause skin irritations, eye infections, and gastrointestinal problems. Appreciate the bay from afar, do not swim!

Great place

Beautiful place

It was amazing! I got to watch the beautiful sunset!

Guanabara bay which forms one of the best sheltered Natural harbours in the world. Bay contains the port of Niterio, Guanabara oil Terminals and  Rio de Janeiro which is situated on the S and W part of Guanabara Bay. The port comprises the Ilhe de Cobras naval base. There are a number of private terminals specialising in containers, bulk cargo, steel products, sugar and paper. The main port imports are containers, wheat and steel products. The main exports are containers, pig iron and steel products. Load line zone- Tropical TimeZone: GMT -3

I bathed in the waters and got a brand new type of infection as a souvenir! <3

Gorgeous building. Think of Disney but better. ;-)

(Translated by Google) Such a beautiful place that holds such a sad story. The heiress of the building is said to have thrown herself from the top floor because she was kept isolated there by the man assigned to be her guardian. They say it is haunted. (Original) Lugar tão bonito que guarda uma história tão triste. A herdeira do prédio teria se jogado do último andar porque era mantida isolada lá pelo homem designado para ser seu tutor.

Wonderful place to shopping secure and very clean a complete place made to lazer

Very beautiful place I really did like it

Very beautiful my daughter loved it

If you are in barra da tijuca, big mall w lot of shopping n food places.

Downtown is a nice open air shopping mall in Barra. You will find some stores but its strength is food, there are plenty of restaurants and bars in order to supply the many corporate offices of the area. Keep in mind that the weather in Rio is in general very hot so I would suggest visiting after the sun is down.

Good stores for shopping on an open mall concept so if no rain or not too burning hot , Otis great. They’re can also be found a cartório for notary purposes and DETRAN office for ID. They are going through a remodeling of some areas where the streets are blocked. Uber drivers have a hard time finding you or dropping off.

I love this open sky mall. You can do shopping, have a lunch, walk with fiends, go with your dog...go to the bank, to to see a doctor...and enjoy a good happy hour in many pubs and restaurantes there.

I enjoyed visiting the imperial palace (free of charge), even though it is so unassuming. I think it is worth visiting if you are interested in the history of Brazil and its colonial past.

On 15th of November 1889, Brazil became a republic.The square in Rio de Janeiro thus commemorate the milestone. Given that Rio is the old official city, before transferring to Sao Paulo.

We visited this place in the evening. It was so nice! We really loved it!

City of fun but the place is full of rats lol

Used for various boat trips in Rio. Ticket booths available if you want to pay by cash or credit card

It is a nice place with an interesting history, and the Saturday's flea market was big and great.

dedicated to the proclamation of the Republic of Brazil, Nov 15 1889

There is nothing new to describe. very famous and popular place. it is exciting to visit the famous status. lots of people. the only negative is the long queue before you can take the train up to the status. i have waited approx. 1.5 hours. it is possible to book tickets online. a little more expensive but it is worth it. It is stunning to see Rio de Janeiro from there. I was lucky with the weather.

Stunning!!!! A must see if you are in Rio. Easy access using Uber. Once you are inside the park, small vans will take you to the electric escalator where the Christ is. We were here during week day. The traffic was very heavy right before noon. I would advise to go early. The views are stunning 😍 Just open your eyes and enjoy the experience!!!

I don’t know I was a little bit disappointed because I hiked up there and I was beat and worked really hard to see the statue and then it’s like like 60 Reals or 11 bucks to get in there and I thought he was against the money changers and stuff but I mean, I know it’s a practical aspect of maintaining a parking. I don’t know just hit me wrong at that moment.

Lovely. Nothing like it in the world. Very crowded but worth it. Go early or late in the day.

Beautiful view of the city but lots of aggressive scammers. One of them followed us and almost robbed us if Uber driver did not come to help us. More security would be great.

One of the most spectacular places you can visit in your lifetime, to appreciate the magnificence of this work and the wonderful views of Rio. Be very careful with opportunists and professional scammers. I recommend paying in advance for a guided tour that includes transportation to the city or hotel. Skipping the protocols can be dangerous, so don't get creative. Go early and eat well, as prices are higher than downtown.

This majestic statue is truly a work of art! I was awestruck! It is definitely a must do if you go to Rio de Janeiro. I visited Corcovado during my first trip to Rio in 2008 (The pictures are from 2008. Some things must have changed a bit). I took a cab to the site from Rio (about an hour ride). Once you arrive you have to climb stairs to arrive onto a platform. The views are beautiful already. They set up small stores on the platform where you can buy souvenirs, local ice creams, sodas, water, and various snacks. It’s great to find refreshments since once can get quite thirsty from the climb and the warm weather. You get to the statue by escalator. The views from there are as majestic as the statue. Yes, many people are there but the sceneries mesmerize you.
