This is a charming, artistic neighborhood, situated on the higher parts of Rio, far away from the famous, frenzied Copacabana area. Santa Teresa is calm, relaxed and will show you the real 'carioca' flavor of a Rio that is not suffocated by tourists or commerce.
Santa Teresa: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
This is a charming, artistic neighborhood, situated on the higher parts of Rio, far away from the famous, frenzied Copacabana area. Santa Teresa is calm, relaxed and will show you the real 'carioca' flavor of a Rio that is not suffocated by tourists or commerce.
My suggestion
When staying in Rio, opt for a 'pousada' at Santa Teresa, to get away from the incessant noise and chaos of the seaside quarters.
Santa Teresa is the bohemian neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, and one of the nicest.
My suggestion
There are many small and charming pousadas in the neighborhood. They are much better than the expensive international-style hotels in Copacabana. However, you should know that taxis often refuse to go into the neighborhood.
