Rio de Janeiro Neighborhoods

Rio is a city of distinct neighbourhoods, and the differences between them matter more than in most cities. Ipanema and Leblon, Copacabana and Leme, Lagoa, Jardim Botânico, Botafogo and Urca, Gávea and São Conrado, Barra da Tijuca — character, prices, rental demand and everyday practicality vary considerably from one to the next. The Neighborhoods Guide compares them in one place, with dedicated guides for Ipanema, Leblon and Copacabana.
