Rio de Janeiro Holidays

Nowhere in the world is more seductive than Rio de Janeiro, the city with perhaps the most stunning physical setting of any on the planet. The city’s many faces can charm even the most discerning travellers - from its dazzling beaches to its sultry bossa nova bars. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic beaches in the world, Copacabana is the city’s calling card, a mass of beautiful bronzed bodies and stylish promenading. If you can drag yourself away from its soft white sands, the surrounding swish neighbourhoods of Ipanema and Leblon beckon with design-led architecture and upscale restaurants. For an entirely different, but equally beguiling perspective, head up into the hills to the artsy Santa Teresa district, home of superlative feijoada and the famous mosaic - Selaron Steps.
