What Are The Main Attractions?

City skyline of Rio de Janeiro with Sugarloaf Mountain, surrounding hills, and bay filled with boats, residential and commercial buildings in the foreground, overcast sky.

Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the Selarón Steps form Rio’s most iconic trio: the towering Art Deco statue of Christ the Redeemer crowns Corcovado with sweeping panoramic views over the city and bay; nearby Sugarloaf’s dramatic granite peak offers thrilling cable-car rides and unrivaled vistas of Guanabara Bay and Rio’s coastline; and the colorful Selarón Steps, a vibrant mosaic staircase by artist Jorge Selarón, links Lapa and Santa Teresa with a burst of public art and photogenic charm. Together they showcase Rio’s mix of breathtaking scenery, architectural drama, and lively cultural expression.
