Rio de Janeiro has a multi-dimensional layout encompassing the only rainforest located within a city in the world, which sprawls within labyrinthine streets and hills nestling favelas or encircling bays. From a distance, one can always see a mountain range or a hill appearing to guard the city (often personified with names like Dois irmãos, Two brothers in English or Gigante adormecido, Sleeping giant). The Atlantic ocean hugs the city's outskirts forming infamous beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema. The views of Rio are never short of wonders and these are the best places to take it all in.

Samba is one of the most traditional and soulful types of music and dance that originated in Brazil. The genre is so prevalent that it has become the pulse of Rio, beating from the favelas all the way to Rio's larger-than-life Carnival celebrations in Sambódromo. These are some of the best spots to find the most authentic samba (and cold beer and cachaça to go with it).
