4. 2. Copacabana Beach
Copacabana is a magnificent confluence of
land & sea and its has a more active vibe than
its equally famous neighbor, Ipanema. One
can spot the Rio locals, called as “cariocas,”
having a game of soccer or volleyball in action,
and vendors vociferously hawk their drinks and
snacks from the kiosks that line the beach. Fort
Copacabana, a military base with a wartime
museum that is open to the public, stands at
one end of the beach. On the length of beach
fronting the fort, fishermen offer up their
morning catch for sale. This beach is surely a
must visit on a trip to Rio.

destinations, Lapa is not admired for its
beachfront real estate or bikini-clad models.
Although this neighborhood claims a bit of
coastline, Lapa is known for something much
more sultry: its signature rhythm. Sounds of
samba, forró, and choro emanate from Lapa’s
packed nightclubs—establishments bursting
with passionate self-expression and all-night
energy. The neighborhood’s colonial aqueduct
and colorful parks promise that its cultural
richness extends beyond the evening.
