How we plan it

We pull real places from open map data for Rio de Janeiro, rank them against what you’ve told us you enjoy, then order the day so the route makes sense and everything is actually open when you’d arrive. Change any of it afterwards and the rest adapts around what you keep.

Place data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Prices and opening times change, so it is worth checking official sources before you travel.
