Jardim Botanico is good
honestly i spend 5 weeks in Rio and mostly i just hung out with people and tried to improve my Portuguese wasn't really trying to be touristy

>>1221377
Pedra da Gávea if u're into long trails

Copacabana = plebs
Ipanema = hot rich sexy actresses

Also, go party in Lapa if you are a degenerate young person. It's pretty cool, seriously

Rio is THE place to be touristy

The jeweler H. Stern has a great tour that is one of the best in the world for seeing some mining and setting info and some unique geodetic specimens. Set aside some money to shop at the end too of course. Another shopping suggestion are the handmade leather goods from sandals with triple thick full grain soles to gorgeous boots. Do some research and buy some decades lasting shoes.

Have you been at Madureira Market or Saara?

>>1221715
Saara is a SHITHOLE

I'm a 23 y.o. BRAZILIAN, went there wearing a poor person's clothes and everyone was trying to scam me

If you do, don't take much money etc
At least you're not going to get kidnapped etc, cause there is police around

We should recommend also Vila Mimosa for gringos

I did got o Saara actually
it's got an interesting layout and i like all the markets and shit around town but Saara was sort of underwhelming
I went with a transsexual local who wanted someone to come with her shopping everyone thought i was her boyfriend but no one tried to scam me nor did anyone bother me they were pretty nice actually idk why

Yeah the garden was one of my possible picks, gotta see those giant palm trees

How true is that tourist get mugged on ipanema and copacabana?

>>1221705
don't have a lot of cash to spend on souvenirs but definitely will consider the tour

I also saw a couple museums (Museum of Tomorrow, Belas Artes, Modern Art Museum, National History Museum), as well as some parks. Guess that would make for a relaxing day

>>1221377
I stayed for a month. My highlights

- Pedra Bonita
- Morro Dois Irmaos (best views of Rio, plus you get to ride a motorbike through the favela)
- Museo da Manha (Museum of Tomorrow, pretty interesting stuff)

Yeah I can tell you what you are missing. Fucking a hot Carioca girl and getting the best orgasm of your life. Install Tinder back home before you leave and set up a meeting
