It's no secret that Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful places on earth. With its iconic Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking the cityscape, miles of sandy beaches and lush jungle areas, it's easy to see why tourism is one of the biggest industries in Brazil.
So, what's the best way to enjoy all that Rio has to offer? Some people might say that staying in a luxurious hotel is the only option, but they would be wrong. There are actually many great options for budget-minded travellers in Rio, and by choosing a hotel that's a bit outside of the city centre, you can save a lot of money while still enjoying all the best that the city has to offer.
For example, I stayed in the neighbourhood of Copacabana while I was in Rio, and I was able to walk to the beach, the metro station and several restaurants and shops. I also saved a lot of money by staying in a hostel rather than a hotel. If you're looking for a more luxurious experience, there are plenty of high-end hotels in the city, but be prepared to pay for it.
So, whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or you're willing to spend a little more for a more luxurious experience, there's a perfect accommodation waiting for you in Rio de Janeiro.
