Discover Rio de Janeiro's intoxicating beauty and infectious energy with the self-guided audio tour, allowing you to explore Brazil's marvellous city at your own pace. Begin at the feet of Christ the Redeemer where one of the New Seven Wonders of the World stretches open arms above a landscape of such dramatic beauty that it seems impossible and inevitable in equal measure. Ride the cable car to Sugarloaf Mountain as the sun sets behind the city, painting Guanabara Bay in shades of gold and purple that have inspired poets since the Portuguese first arrived in 1502. Stroll along the iconic mosaic pavements of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Wander through the colonial streets of Santa Teresa where artists have transformed hillside mansions into galleries and studios, then descend the Escadaria Selarón steps whose 2,000 colourful tiles represent 60 countries. Explore the samba clubs of Lapa where live music keeps Cariocas dancing until dawn.
