Top 10:

Rio de Janeiro Picnics, Parks & Gardens

  • The Best of NileGuide

  • Visitors flock to Rio de Janeiro for its non-stop party spirit and vibrant atmosphere, but there are times when even the hardest of partiers needs to take a moment to unwind. Happily, Rio de Janeiro parks and gardens are to be found dotted around the city, offering a brief respite from the chaos and confusion that reigns supreme on the city streets.

    Our number one pick, the famous Botanical Gardens, are worthy of a few hours of anyone's time, and the chance to stroll in the shade of giant palms will be welcomed by anyone visiting during the sticky summer months.

    Of course, let's not forget that Rio is home to the world's largest city park, Parque Nacional da Tijuca, but the sheer scale of this vast swathe of city jungle makes experienced guides a must.

    Generally speaking, parks that charge an entrance fee are free from the threat of opportunistic thieves, but do take care in parks and public spaces that do not charge to enter. As with anywhere else in the city, you should keep valuables hidden and stay away from overly secluded spots.
