Guidebook for Copacabana
Food Scene
A typical, even if somewhat expensive, Brazilian steakhouse within walking distance. The salad and sushi bars are quite good, and so is the meat that is brought to the table, but the drinks can be pretty expensive.

An Argentinian steakhouse, about the best meat to be had in Rio, and a variety of cocktails. Good service too and a nice setting, especially in good weather: by a port for small boats in Marina da Gloria.

Copacabana Beach, only 5 mins. from the apartment, is the iconic beach of Rio de Janeiro. It is the scene of New Year’s celebrations in Rio that do not have their equals anywhere else, and concerts and other events. In the summer it is crowded. You should not take any valuables with you, but there are 4 beach chairs and 1 sun umbrella in the flat that you can take with you to the beach. The caipirinhas and petiscos that are sold on the beach are excellent.
