Prefer your own place? Airbnbs in Ipanema and Leblon are a great option too, and keep you close to the shuttle pick-ups.
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.
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.
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. If Flamengo or Fluminense are playing while you’re in town, go. There’s nothing like match day here.
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 the ones locals and tourists use every day. Stay in the Zona Sul, the beach neighbourhoods of Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana, or in Barra da Tijuca, and keep your outings within them. Avoid Lapa at night and don’t wander the streets after dark.
Get around by Uber Black or a hotel taxi 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.
