1 day in Rio de Janeiro Itinerary

Bustling with samba music and all-night street parties, no city encapsulates the spirit of Brazil better than Rio de Janeiro.

Kick off your visit on the 14th (Sun): take in the architecture and atmosphere at The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian and then don't miss a visit to Escadaria Selaron.

If you are flying in from Brazil, the closest major aiport is Rio Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 36°C in March, and nighttime lows around 27°C. Wrap up your sightseeing by early afternoon on the 14th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
