Do not carry your original passport, carry a passport, carry a copy of it. FavelasYou should not go into the Favela or slums because crime is a big problem. But if you are still curios there are organized tours that can take you thereDowntownDon't go down downtown on the weekends or after the office employes have gone home at night because it is very quiet and it is not safe at that time.ATM'sATM's are very common but the instructions are likely to be in Portugese so that is all the more reason to know a few phrases. Probably the most important one you need to know is "saque", which means withdrawl.At the beachMost of the points of interest for visitors like Ipanema and Copacabana are not downtown but in Zona Sul. Speaking of the beach there is a hole set of beach etiquette that you should know. For example nudity is against the law, even going topless. But the smaller the swimsuit you wear the better you will fit in.The sun here is really really hot, so you need to use sunscreen. If you need to buy something here you can get it at any pharmacy. It is called "protetor solar". When buying food or drink on the beach always ask the price before you buy it. Rio has many beaches but Copacabana is probably the most famous and draws most visitors which means that it can draw some uncertain elements, especially at night. So at night avoid walking alone at Copacabana and the surrounding areas. Do not encourage or respond two aggressive prostitutes at the beach or other tourist spots. You can just say "No obrigado" If you want something less "touristy" Ipanema, Leblon, Barra and other beaches are better options. TransportThe subway is good and cheap but unfortunately it does not serve many of the party of interest here in Rio. Buses are also inexpensive and they serve a lot of places, but your Safest bet is always gonna be a taxi. Mark's taxis are golden-yellow colored with a blue strip. They are more expensive than other options, but they are the fastest and Safest option in the city and they are everywhere.Be extremely careful crossing The Streets here, because people go fast and often they do not stop at red light especially at night. If you just do a little homework and remain aware of your surroundings then you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenory and the energetic urban life of the worlds most exiting city.
