The accommodations in the city of the cariocas

If you want to have these views of the entire city, you will have to retreat to the heights …

There are rumors that Rio de Janeiro is a dangerous city . In part, it is true and therefore we must be cautious and opt for taxi rides at night . Avoid flashy displays of valuables and unsafe neighborhoods.

Do not hesitate to ask your hotel or hostel for advice. Locals are as concerned about robbery attempts as tourists, they know better than anyone the places to avoid.

However, don’t worry: there are safe places in Rio and with a little common sense, nothing will happen to you.

The safest neighborhoods are, without a doubt, Urca, Ipanema and Leblon. Copacabana, very touristy, attracts pickpockets.

Hotels in Rio

Depending on the neighborhood you choose and the class you choose, prices will vary. The hotel offer in Rio is especially high-end but much cheaper than that of Spain.

Calculate on average between € 40 and € 80 per night in a double room with breakfast in a 3- or 4-star hotel. Sometimes you will have views of the sea or a swimming pool.

Youth Hostels

Hostels grow like mushrooms in Rio and you will find many in all areas of the city and especially in Copacabana.

When you travel alone, it is the ideal way to meet people!

Calculate, on average, between € 7 and € 15 for a bed in a shared room with breakfast included, depending on the location of the chosen hostel.

Airbnb in Rio

You can choose to rent an apartment in Rio . Airbnb allows you to find a room in a family accommodation where you will have to interact with the locals or a complete apartment to have independence.

Rates are very different depending on the location and size of the apartment, but prices for full studios start at € 20 for the Santa Teresa district.
