Rio in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 days

Itineraries by area to make the most of your time without spending your trip in traffic.

If you would prefer an accompanied day exploring the city, compare the Full Day Rio tour with the Christ + City Tour option. They are different experiences; choose the one that fits your day.

For the day outside Rio you are considering on a six- or seven-day trip, explore the options for a Búzios day trip, an Arraial do Cabo day trip or the option for an Angra + Ilha Grande day trip.

With limited time, I would make one experience the focus of each day and group other stops nearby. Leave room for weather, tiredness and travel: on a first visit, do not turn arrival or departure day into a race across neighbourhoods. Over seven days, mix the coast, downtown, nature and local life; with one or two days, choose what matters most to you and save the rest for another trip.
