Asking yourself “How many days should I spend in Rio?” Well, the number of days to stay in Rio depends a lot on your own plan, wishes, and expectations. How many days do you need on the beach? How many days are you willing to tour around visiting the main sites? How many nights out can you stand enjoying Rio’s daily live music program at popular local night venues? What else you want to visit in Brazil?
Frankly, you could stay in Rio de Janeiro for a whole month, and not get bored, nor regret at all, nor even think of leaving. There is no precise answer for the question “How many days do you need to visit Rio”.
Here are a few key questions to help you to find out how many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro:
1 – Will you visit Rio on a private guided tour?
If you visit Rio de Janeiro on a private guided tour you will visit all the classic spots and more in one single day. You will cover a lot of ground and be surprised by how much has been accomplished by the end of a full-day Rio tour.
You could hire a guide for your first day, then use your second day to take a stroll by yourself in the Botanical Garden and in nice neighborhoods such as Copacabana, Ipanema, Urca, and Leblon.
You could use the third day to chill out, enjoy the Rio de Janeiro white sand beaches, with a glass of caipirinha (the national cocktail) in your hands.
Choosing this option will make you see a lot in 1 to 3 days, but it has a cost, which in the end can be actually inexpensive considering that you will do a lot in less time, and save hotel nights, meals, etc.
2 – Will you use public transportation and visit Rio’s attractions randomly?
If you build your own itinerary and visit Rio your way utilizing buses, subway, and walking with no suggested itinerary then you may visit the city in a much slower pace.
This sort of visiting plan is ideal for those travelers who don’t need to visit Rio in a hurry, are on a budget, don’t mind to get to the right place at the wrong time, and have lots of time for trial and error in the city (3 to 7 days).
3 – Will you follow the daily plan suggested in My Rio Travel Guide?
