Went to Rio last year and will return this summer. The city is incredible. People are friendly and as long as you are careful and aware it's safe. It is worth the trip it's absolutely amazing
One of the best videos from Rio, my city. I am from Rio, I left there and spent 3 years in Dublin to improve my English, lived in Sao Paulo and now I am living in a really small city called Tiradentes, a historical city with 6k people in Minas Gerais. Because of your video, I have new plans, let's see... please, let me know when you come again, I intend to open the first hostel here. I can show you the cities near here. Congratulation again! Cheers!
Yes listening to his thick Irish accent pronounce those words does give one a chuckle, It almost sounds like he's trying to twist the words like a pretzel
I was In Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo 2 months ago.. i'm really love Brazil!! my hotel was in Leblon in Rio and for me,.it was a security place. Walking with my brazilian's friends for Ipanema and Copabana at night without problems! Brazilian's people so friendly.I really feel like in home!! Obrigada Brasileiros.. one of the best churrascarias is Porcao, well if i decide to take vacation, i dont care to spend money to be in the best places and security and i am planing to back next year!!
rio is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. this man is really understating the fact hence why i note to all tourist to be very careful and try to avoid if you can.
I can't wait to visit Rio de Janerio (a childhood dream of mine) and Sao Paulo. All major big cities in every country have dangerous areas. And all these cities have people who will take advantage of people if they are not paying attention. People just need to be aware of their surroundings.
you're right, in rio people are very open and friendly to tourists. i was trying to say that it is a good idea fitting in a bit and not looking too much like a tourist because the likelihood of getting robbed as a tourist is obviously higher.just be a bit more cultured than the mainstream tourists.. helps a lot ;)
Im Brazilian and I think Rio is the most beautiful city in the world. Where you can find so nice landscape? Paris, London, NY, etc are beautiful cities too, but they were built by men. Rio was built by God.
Hostelworld, moro em Natal/RN, é um lugar ainda tranquilo e perfeito pra férias com uma natureza incrivel seria perfeito uma materia aqui a praia de pipa,genipabu demais...moro na cidade do sol nordeste brasileiro...
As a brazilian, i admit that here that are dangerous cities, just like U.S has dangerous cities, or U.K. I felt more danger in New York and London than in Rio to be honest. For those that think that as soon as you put your foot in brazil you will robbed, i have one advice: Dont trust midia. If brazil was as dangerous as people think, do you think that it would be chosen to host the world cup and the olympics? Do you think FIFA and the Olympic committee would put so many lives in danger if brazil was actually a dangerous country? Stop thinking that latin american countries are boiling with crime, they are amazing places that are worth a visit.
I'm living in Rio, and I can say that, If you come to Rio and stay in our South Zone, you are in a safe place, But if you want to go to other areas, you will be in danger, I live in Colégio, it's a neighborhood in Rio, and here it's very very dangerous
Interesting clip and who wouldn't want to go there (unless you really really like Watford). I love your pronunciation - classic Irish/Portuguese and why not.
+BC Leonard No i did not get rob but i just got back again from Reo on June 6 i went again and my cousin and friend got pick pocket and rob there cell phones i warn them but they did not listen to me.
I'm carioca and say that Rio de Janeiro is not just in Copacabana and Ipanema. We have incredible places like Barra de Guaratiba and niterói that are not mentioned in the international media ...
+Alex Aguiar de Souza Yeah, man... For me, the gastromic center in Guaratiba is the best place to eat in Rio... Bira's Restaurant food is very tasty and the view of Marambaia Sandbank and Sepetiba Bay is awesome...
O RIO DE JANEIRO eo melhor lugar do mundo ,lugar mas lindoo..tenho orgulho de ser carioca ,e morar nesse paraiso..sou de ipanema... mas todos os lugares do rio,sao otimoss,e quem fala mal e pq tem inveja..A lias o rio ta na frente de td!! rio de janeiroo e fodaaa,e se alguem falar mal,vai pra pul..............................................RJ MELHOR DO MUNDOOOOOOOO,E NOIXS
Just came back to the US from a long trip to South America. We spent 5 day in Rio and except for the rain ( which was not expected) and the crowds for the World Cup title game, everything was great. Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, Copacabana, Barra Da Tijuca, Ipanema and Leblon were all wonderful. The lagoon and the Tijuca forest park were also very nice. But several time, cariocas warned me and my wife to be careful with my camera because they thought much of the city was dangerous for grab and run crooks. And if you have not be warned, the traffic is a nightmare. There is a poor city bus system and the road are always full.
could you imagine how beautiful Rio would be, if it had really nice buildings and architecture..... i guess no city can actually have everything..!! but Rio is definately one of the cities id love to visit without question
@garfolino Hi Alberto, Thanks for the message. Didn't make it to Sao Paulo unfortunately. Thanks for the invite though so will definitely check it out next time in Brazil!
olha vi algumas das materias do Hostelworld pelo mundo London,Paris,New York... e gostei muito parabéns, cada parte do mundo com suas particularidades, Rio de Janeiro é mesmo maravilhosa um encanto todos sabemos da realidade de nosso povo mais carente e é mesmo deploravel mas como se diz Mandela,"so a educaçao sera capaz de mudar tal realidade".Entao a mudança começa por cada pessoa se envolver em algum projeto social usar a caridade e ser o exemplo, infelizmente problemas sociais tem por toda parte,entendo que o Brazil movimenta uma economia igual a paises de primeiro mundo e continua com tanta desigualdade social, mas somos nos que decidimos pois a economia é nossa de toda contribuiçao que movimentamos!!!!se quem ta no poder nao funciona entao foraaaaaaaaaaaa...
OMG!! he say Vasco da Gama, my favorite soccer team. it is the greatest team of Rio de Janeiro. you need to know our stadium são Januário when travel to Rio
Fagner .Macedo bien dicho I'm going over there next month USA is bad to I don't know why Americans want to cover the sky with their hands there's very very bad places here too but it all depends how one carries himself viva Brasil
***** 0.50 sec **** In the 1930 My late grandfather named HYGINO DE ANDRADE SANTOS built the iron frame of the right arm of Christ the Redeemer. You are always welcome. Hugs from Rio.
Eu ainda não vi cidade grande com belezas naturais assim. O Brasil tem lugares lindíssimos, pena que o governo não coloca a mesma infraestrutura que outros países de primeiro mundo tem.
If you already speak any other major Latin language (Spanish, French, Italian), it is very easy. If English is your mother language, then because of the Normand invasion in England, you will already be familiar with various words that are based on Latin roots but it'd be harder to learn than if you had a Latin mother language. For other European languages, then it feels as hard as learning French/Spanish/Italian.
The video is great but I agree about the music..is not so good...shoud be something like "garota de ipanema" or other type of "bossa nova" :) Great job!
well... you must know where to go, then you wont get yourself into trouble. other than that, i **personally** think Rio is just as violent as any other huge city in the world to be honest. btw what he said is true, try not to look like a tourist, showing off watches, cameras etc. and you'll be just fine ;)
1158supersiri Actually the more accurate would be "you should know where not to go". 'cause as I said above, I have lived in Rio my whole lifa and I have always been safe. Besides, I am portuguese teacher for foreigners, and none of my students have never been in danger.
***** hi Rodrigo, it's really good to know you have never experienced violence in Rio, but you know that's not the case for most people living there, and not only in those extremely disadvantaged neighborhoods. unfortunately. It's a beautiful city, though... =D I highly recommend it. Just be careful!
The most of people think that Brazil is the only place in the world which have violence! Wake up! Brazil have people working, studying like in anywhere! And we don't care about the bad things some people say, I'm Brazilian, I love Brazil, and i'm so PROUD! If you like Brazil you are welcome, but if not, why waste your time talking about? That don't make you better than the Brazilians, we all are humans, the place that you live don't change nothing!!
becareful sweetie with the pick pocket in Brazil there all over the place even the taxi driver are in it too.I have been there twice and can talk about this place but go its beautiful just to even walk on the Reo de Janeiro side walk.
The neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca also is beautiful place to visit. It is "brazilian Miami". There only the rich live. It is neighborhood very chic Find pictures of Barra da Tijuca in the Google .
BroccoliBeefed if you doesn't walk around like you're some super rich rap singer, no worries. I guess it happens in the most of the cities in the world...
I was in Rio last year, I saw robbers in shady streets at night and on copacabana beach, just don't walk alone at night in dark streets and you are as safe as in any other city. maybe even safer, they have loads of police in the streets now, with the world cup and olympics comming up
Colm, have u been to Sao Paulo? if u have, why u never talked about it? if u havent, why not? If u still around Id like to invite u, so I can make u love it ! This is Alberto from LimeTime Hostel by the way!

RIO would be the ideal place to live plenty of good seafood,clean beaches and an awsome night life!
I felt safe when I went to Rio De Janeiro last July. I felt in love with its nature, going back one day again
Rio is really a paradise!!! I spent 5 days in 2011 and it was just perfect!!!
I am from Rio and it's all right. AlsoI think its so funny and cute he saying the names of the attractions lol I've never heard it like that

Yes listening to his thick Irish accent pronounce those words does give one a chuckle, It almost sounds like he's trying to twist the words like a pretzel
Have you ever heard Bossa Nova? It's amazing

If you come to Rio and stay in our South Zone, you are in a safe place,
But if you want to go to other areas, you will be in danger,
I live in Colégio, it's a neighborhood in Rio, and here it's very very dangerous

I was born and raised in Rio, still live here and never been shot. Never seen a gun in my entire life. Only in the movies.
@hostelworld Could it be because Sao Paulo city is only commercialized, has the famous "trombadinhas" and lots of smog???
80% of the sports of the Olympic Games will take place in Barra da Tijuca. It's also what happened Rock in Rio 2011
I wanna go there
