How many interesting cities in the world. After reviewing Brazilian TV shows, I wanted to learn more about Rio de Janeiro and its sights. After all, even Ostap Bender wanted to come to live in this city. It turns out in Brazil, Rio, is considered the second largest city. Arriving on the South Atlantic coast, we see that this city conquers with its white and yellow clean sandy beaches, warm and transparent sea water, interesting sights and simply incredibly beautiful nature.
At first, everyone goes to watch Copacabana Beach. For some reason, everyone reads it is his main attraction of Rio. In all the avenues, films, we see this beautiful beach. On the beaches of the city, you can safely rent sun beds and umbrellas. Probably due to the fact that the city stretches along the many kilometers of clean sand to the rocky hills, one can never say that the beaches are crowded with people. Those interested can make beautiful figures out of the sand. The festival of sand figures attracts many sculptors.
Natural unique monument of Brazil is the mountain Sugar Loaf Mountain, which is equipped with an observation deck with a view of the Bay of Botafogo and the peak of Corcovado. From there you can see all the amazing panorama of the city. Sugarloaf Mountain was a rival of Corcovado during the selection of the installation site of the statue of Christ. But then it was decided to leave it untouched, as another symbol of the capital of Brazil.
You can get to the observation deck on the funicular, which offers a beautiful view of the bay and the city.
Admire the spectacle of the city located at the foot of the mountain is necessary when there are no large clouds that can close the entire view. From the observation deck you can take a picture of the evening city and get amazing pictures of beauty. Although it is better to go to view the panorama from the mountain in the morning, so as not to stand in long lines.
The statue of Christ the Redeemer stands right on Mount Corcovado. This monument is called the modern seventh wonder of the world. Christ with arms outstretched in a blessing gesture, as if blesses all who look at him.
They built the sculpture from 1922 to 1931. In 1922, the centenary of Brazil’s national independence was celebrated, and the statue is dedicated to this date. The frame and details of the sculpture were made in France, and everything was assembled in place (also, check Interesting facts about Marseille).
You can reach the top of the mountain on the first electric railway with a miniature train built in 1882–1884 in Brazil. During the construction of the sculpture of Jesus Christ, construction materials were brought up by train. You can also drive to the statue of Christ. You will then see the Tizhuk reserve, which is famous for being the largest forest in the city. Since 2003, the observation deck at the top of the mountain is equipped with escalators. So you can not climb on foot up the 220 steps.
Maracana Stadium is known to all sports enthusiasts. After all, Brazilian footballers are not for nothing famous for their ability to play football. Only one vision of the stadium bowl and we can immediately say that we already have images of famous world-famous footballers Diego Maradona and Pele.
Sports Brazilians love and prove it constantly. In the city, you can see anywhere as children play football. They are not embarrassed by the lack of an equipped stadium, only the ball is needed. That’s just from these new Pele will grow.
They say that it is impossible to make poor areas of the city attractive for tourists. Most often go to inspect the villa rich people. But Rio de Janeiro refuted this opinion. Santa Marta is considered a slum in the heart of the city. But thanks to the project “Pra a Canto” from a dim and inconspicuous place turned into an interesting multi-colored area that attracts tourists.
And what a carnival in Rio de Janeiro! Beautiful costumes of dancers and dancers, musicians, elegant car platforms. All this passes for hours before the eyes of the amazed public and is not repeated. People dancing everywhere and happy faces. It is a pity that the carnival has certain dates and how all good things quickly end.
Tourists are interested in many other issues. How does the transport go in the city, where can I buy cheap souvenirs? You will be amazed by the feature of the entrance to the bus. It is necessary to enter through the front door, where you pay the fare conductor. And the exit from the bus through the back door. Taxis are not so expensive and always the bill is rounded in favor of the passenger. In addition, the taxi counter turns only when the car is traveling. At any place, “Rio Sul” and Avenida Copacabana at fairs you can buy various souvenirs, cosmetics and clothing.
