Best time to visit

Rio de Janeiro is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular arts & culture slots in Rio de Janeiro sell out.
