            24 hours in Rio - What to see, and how to do it safely?

            Jump to last reply Flag this topic

            I'm going to Buenos Aires and Rio on a business trip next month and will be travelling alone. I'm fairly well travelled (60+ countries) but a little apprehensive about the risk of robbery and violence in Rio. I've absorbed the usual tips (about not be decked out in jewellery and gadgets, etc).

            I will have about 24 hours in Rio - one evening after my meeting and the next morning/early afternoon. I'll be staying at the Copacabana Palace. Any suggestions for what would be my best choice for a sightseeing experience - Sugarloaf Mountain maybe? Should I just hire a private guide through the hotel as the easiest option? Money's not really an issue since I have so little time and my other expenses are paid. Thanks
