The Portuguese Pavement, constructed along the beach, also attracts tourists in large numbers. This pavement has been a source of inspiration for artists over many years because of its unique wavy shape.

If you are not into adventure sports, you can have a relaxing swim in the cool and welcoming waters.

SANTA TERESA This is one of the old neighbourhoods of Rio that overlooks the Guanabara Bay.

A trekking tour to the top of the mountains will ensure that you get a picturesque view of the bay. If you are not interested in trekking, you can take a leisurely ride on the old-fashioned tram that chugs through this neighbourhood.
