Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is the main leisure tourist destination in the country. The beautiful beaches, the lively city and the big city structure attract tourists from all over Brazil and the world.

The city is facing serious property security problems in recent years, including tourist areas.

It is possible to visit the city, but it is important to stay alert for problematic regions and times.

The most important point is to stay away from the slums. Organized crime has a large amount of heavy weaponry, resulting in shootings that put those present at risk.

In the streets of tourist areas such as Copacabana, Ipanema and even Leblon it is important not to leave with valuables exposed, such as cameras or mobile phones.

Always be on the lookout. In case of attempted robbery, calmly hand over your belongings to avoid any reaction from the bandits.
