Travelling in Rio with a Car Rental

Once you have arrived and collected your rental car, its time to head off and see the city! A great way to begin your visit is by heading straight to the most famous landmark in Rio, the statue of Christ the Redeemer, which stands atop Corcovado Mountain overlooking the city. Built in the 1920s, the statue symbolises the strong religious values of Brazilians, and can be seen from most parts of the city.

Another attraction on a grand scale which is definitely worth a visit is the Metropolitan Cathedral, which you can find by driving into the city centre. The cathedral took 14 years to build, and stands at over 96 metres tall, with a capacity of 20,000 people, definitely an impressive sight indeed. Be sure to also check out the Maracana Stadium also, which was once the biggest stadium in the world, capable of seating 100,000 people.

Jump in your hire car and head to the south of the city, where there are a number of great attractions worth visiting. The Jardim Botanico is the city's botanical gardens, and was established in the 1800s. Home to over 5000 species of plants, as well as lots of exotic birds and monkeys, the gardens are a lovely place to spend a day away from the crowds. To learn a little about the origins of Brazil, check out the nearby Museu do Indio, a museum dedicated to Brazilian Indians, with great collections of art, paintings and artefacts.
