Rio de Janeiro in four days: beaches, two viewpoints and the garden

Rio de Janeiro travel itineraries, named routes and practical visitor advice. Choose a published guide below to plan your stay.
Use four Rio days for a daylight beach promenade, Corcovado, Sugarloaf and the Botanical Garden, with the Museum of Tomorrow as an indoor alternative. Put the two viewpoints on separate blocks so weather and transport have room to change. A Corcovado train ticket starts at Cosme Velho; Sugarloaf's cable cars start at Praia Vermelha. Beach photographs do not establish safe swimming conditions.
