✈️ Getting there

GIGGaleão–Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport
📍 20 km⏱ 60 min🚌 Bus🚕 Taxi🚌 Uber

The Executivo 2018 bus runs directly from GIG to Copacabana and Ipanema for around R$25 (€4), though the journey takes 60–90 minutes depending on traffic — Uber is roughly R$80–120 and considerably faster at off-peak times.

Galeão is Rio's main international hub, handling long-haul flights from Europe on LATAM, TAP Air Portugal, Air France, Lufthansa, and British Airways — it's a large two-terminal airport that feels distinctly 1990s but functions efficiently once you know your way around.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Rio de Janeiro — beyond the tourist trail.

🚡Take the Sugarloaf cable car at dusk — the second stage arrives at the summit just as the city lights flicker on over Guanabara Bay, and the crowd thins significantly compared to midday. Buy tickets online to skip the queue.
🌅Walk up to the Mirante Dona Marta viewpoint (free, accessible by taxi or on foot through Santa Teresa) at dawn for the most dramatic angle of Christ the Redeemer with the city below — and none of the selfie-stick crowds at the statue itself.
🎵Spend a Friday night in Pedra do Sal, the informal birthplace of samba in Rio — it's an open-air square in Gamboa where locals gather from around 19:00, bring beer and street food, and the drumming starts spontaneously. No entrance fee, entirely authentic.
🍖Eat a classic feijoada on a Saturday lunch at Restaurante Aprazível in Santa Teresa — the traditional day for this black bean and pork stew, served with caipirinha and a view over the jungle canopy. Book a table on the terrace a week ahead.
🏄Swim at Prainha rather than Ipanema — it's a 40-minute bus ride south but a crescent of clean surf beach tucked between Atlantic Forest cliffs, beloved by locals and virtually unknown to package tourists. Go on a weekday to have it nearly to yourself.
