Rio de Janeiro's Absolute Essentials

Rio de Janeiro’s landscape is defined by the Art Deco Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado and the granite peak of Sugarloaf Mountain, accessible by cable car. The city’s history is preserved in military fortifications like Fort Copacabana and the royal Guanabara Palace, while the Santiago Calatrava-designed Museum of Tomorrow anchors the modern waterfront. Natural highlights include the Tijuca National Park—one of the world's largest urban forests—and the rocky Arpoador Point, alongside scenic viewpoints like the Chinese Belvedere and the 88-meter Rio Star ferris wheel.
