Travel safety in Rio de Janeiro has for long time been a concern in the mind of most prospective visitors. For years many frequent travelers have put Rio way down in their “cities to visit” list. Indeed, due to hyperinflation, high unemployment rate, and other economical, social and politycal issues Rio de Janeiro used to have a high criminality rate — without a doubt it was not the safest place for tourists or even for Brazilians.
But the good news is that Rio de Janeiro is much safer now (2013) than it used to be in the 80’s and 90’s. The government has taken a series of measures that finally did result in a much safer city. In fact, Rio is becoming one of the safest major cities in Brazil. After all, the South America most exciting city will host several major international events in this decade.
Are you considering travelling to Rio de Janeiro in the near future? Don’t be afraid. Come to Rio and see with your own eyes that the city is safe, clean, organized, worth-visiting and -returning. The time to travel is now, before the world learns that Rio safety level has increased, and the city becomes even more expensive.
