When to visit Rio de Janeiro

If you want to experience Rio carnival then be sure to book in advance for mid-February, as the week leading up the Lent is the busiest week of the year, however witnessing the colours of the carnival is worth the crowded attractions, so don't let the mass crowds discourage your visit. Alternatively, the other weeks between December and March are sunny, but less populated before the summer crowds descend on this South American parade.

No two attractions are the same in this rainbow infused city, and this diversity is reflected in the vast range of holiday lettings available in Rio. You can choose a luxury penthouse which acts as your own private retreat in this urban jungle, or you can choose a self-catered apartment rental in Rio's flavourful Lapa neighbourhood which is bursting with Brazilian eateries and bars which will guarantee a getaway with your friends like no other. For families who want to fill their days with adventure, there is no better place to choose your accommodation in Rio than in The Tijuca Forest, the tropical haven where you can reach new heights on a zip wire and now lows by exploring Rio's caves. For those who want to bathe their days away on the Copacabana beach, you can reserve an apartment rental on these iconic waters and watch the sunrise from the comfort of your home away from home.

The terminal is approximately a 30-minute drive from the holiday rental's in Rio's city centre when you take the BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) which is one of the fastest modes of transportation, as these buses avoiding traffic in their own exclusive lanes in the city.

Where to stay in Rio de Janeiro

Centro

If you want to focus your experience on the culture of the city, Centro is the best place to reserve a holiday apartment rental in Rio.

Choose a holiday villa with a pool in Rio's most famous beachfront or a guesthouse which is found in one of the art deco architectural masterpieces along this coastline.

Lapa

Lapa is bursting with bands, bars and clubs which creates a party lovers paradise which comes alive every night. For a more affordable way of staying in this lively neighbourhood, choose a youth hostel instead of a hotel room in Rio and spend your savings shopping in Feira Rio Antigo, the monthly vintage market, then sample Caipirinha, to find out for yourself why it is Brazil's favourite cocktail.

Botafogo and Flamengo

For a slightly more peaceful trip to the capital of the carnival, choose an apartment with a sea view in Rio's residential waterfront neighbourhood. Locals have adopted this serene seaside and filled it with fine eateries and independent boutiques which have remained Rio's best-kept secret, at least until now!

The Tijuca Forest

Holding the title of the world's largest urban forest, this area is bursting with adventure and experiences which will make you feel as though you are a million miles away from the Rio's bustling city centre. Book a holiday home in the heart of this verdant unspoilt landscape where you can unwind after a day of hiking, cycling and zip-wiring across the rainforest.

Santa Teresa

The Bohemian neighbourhood of Santa Teresa showcases the colourful spirit which flows through this entire city through its murals, markets and mosaics which decorate the postcard-perfect Selarón steps. Choose a room with a view in Rio which is as colourful as the neighbourhood it stands in and secure an arty house which mirrors the aesthetics of the local museums to fill both your days and nights with endless colour.
