Welcome to our 14th Portuguese Basic Tips called Trip to Rio!
Today we are going to speak about what to do in Rio de Janeiro. I’ll try to give you some tips about places you can visit in Cidade Maravilhosa and as always we’ll talk about Portuguese language.
In this episode I will simulate a mini tour through the streets of Rio de Janeiro. We’re going to take a quick walk through Copacabana , Pão de Açucar , Lapa and Santa Teresa while we talk about some aspects of Portuguese Language.
Copacabana
Copacabana is a very famous neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. Many local artists usually attend the Copacabana beach. You’ll also find many people training soccer beach and volleyball beach there. Do you remember the concert that the Rolling Stones made in Brazil in 2006? Yeah, it was in Copacabana.
Bondinho and Pão de Açúcar
Most people who go to Rio de Janeiro visit what we call Pão de Açúcar – Literally “bread of sugar”. It is a hill and you can buy tickets to go up by a cable car. From there, you can see big part of the city, you can see how Rio de Janeiro is beautiful.
Lapa and Santa Teresa
Both are nearby places and you can visit them on the same day. Lapa is a neighborhood known as being ideal for people who have a bohemian lifestyle because of its bars, discotheques and cultural events in general.
Santa Teresa is also a traditional neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. A great Brazilian musician called Noel Rosa lived there. We are also going to talk a little about them.
