Customer Reviews

An extremely helpful book to Rio

I was really impressed with the LP guide for Rio de Janeiro. The book itself is pretty comprehensive, and it definitely shows that author spent time not only exploring the city but the nightlife as well. I'm the type of traveler who will have two books on a city with me. I used the Top 10 Rio de Janeiro (EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE) as a book for an overview of the city, and then use this book for figuring out dinner and nightlife recommendations. If you're going to be spending more than a week in Rio, this is a fantastic resource to get started with.

Awesome book - a godsend

This book was such a FIND! I was so thrilled that I picked this book up before heading down. I'm familiar with Rio and could get around with no issue, but this book so greatly enhanced my trip. The author had SO many awesome restaurants and tips and bars and clubs. I saw Rio in a totally different light. Awesome!

Good for a 1 week visit

I found a lot of good information on places to go within Rio. I recommend using a combination of this book and taxis to do your sightseeing instead of hopping a tour bus.

easy reading makes for easy traveling

Very few things were out dated when I used this book. Great tips on where to eat, and what to see, and what particular crime areas to avoid. Its a good book for preplanning and during your trip. Check out the restaurant GIRL FROM IPANEMA to see where the song was written when your in Rio.

Helpful Guide For The Rio Visitor

How marvelous of Lonely Planet to devote an entire book to one city -- and what a city. Rio is one of the most beautiful, sexy and scary places on Earth and this guide is a great help in many different ways. It does lack, however, in the area of music -- which is an essential part of the Rio experience. For that I would recommend "The Brazilian Sound," in order to better enjoy the clubs, samba schools, Carnaval parades and dancetarias of Rio.
