Escadaria Selarón
The city’s most colourful staircase, tiled step by step by Jorge Selarón. Worth a quick visit in daylight.
Christ the Redeemer
The obvious first stop. Cristo Redentor watches the whole city from the top of Corcovado, high in Tijuca National Park.
Sugarloaf Mountain
The Pão de Açúcar cable car climbs from Urca to a panorama of Christ, Copacabana and Guanabara Bay. Go for sunset.
Mureta da Urca & Praia Vermelha
Rio’s favourite sunset spot, no ticket required: a beer on the Urca seawall as the sun drops behind Christ. Round the corner, the small, calm Praia Vermelha sits right under the Sugarloaf cable car.
Ipanema & Arpoador
If you only make one beach, make it this one: an afternoon on the sand, then sunset from the Arpoador rocks.
Santa Teresa
Rio’s hillside bohemian quarter: old mansions, winding streets and the famous yellow tram. A world away from the beachfront.
Jardim Botânico
Tropical gardens beneath the mountains, with an avenue of towering imperial palms. A gentler day out, close to Lagoa and Parque Lage.
Parque Lage & Lagoa
A palatial mansion and gardens directly beneath Christ, then a lap of the lagoon. City, mountains and jungle in one walk.
Museu do Amanhã
Calatrava’s science museum on the revitalised waterfront downtown, striking at any hour and best around sunset. Pair it with Praça Mauá and the AquaRio.
Confeitaria Colombo
Rio’s grand belle-époque café, pouring coffee since 1894 under Belgian mirrors and a stained-glass skylight. Go for the afternoon tea; it’s downtown, close to the museum, and closed on Sundays.
Barra da Tijuca
Eleven uninterrupted kilometres of Atlantic beach: wider, wilder and quieter than the Zona Sul. Worth the trip for a full day on the sand.
Maracanã
The temple of Brazilian football, and the stage for two World Cup finals. Stadium tours run most days.
Brazil eVisa
Travelling on a US, Canadian or Australian passport? You’ll need an eVisa to enter Brazil. UK and EU passports don’t. It’s a simple online application: your passport, a photo and about ten minutes.
Apply through the official VFS portal at least a few weeks before you fly.

Your invitation will show who has been invited.
We’ll confirm here whether it’s adults-only, named children only, or all children welcome.
Typically warm and pleasant, around 25–27°C during the day and 18–20°C at night. It’s generally less hot and humid than summer.
An outdoor ceremony, an undercover dinner and an indoor party.
Around midnight to 1 AM.
Rio is a beautiful city that welcomes millions of visitors every year, and the areas we’ve chosen are frequented by tourists every day. Book your accommodation in the beach neighbourhoods of Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana. Don’t wander the streets after dark.
Get around by Uber Black rather than on foot at night, keep phones and jewellery out of sight on the street, and use our shuttle to and from the wedding.
We’d love you to be present rather than on your phone during the ceremony. We’ll have a photographer capturing it all on the day!
Of course! We encourage it.
