Transportation 🚖

We recommend using Uber for getting around Rio. It’s easy, affordable, and reliable. While taxis and buses are available, Uber is usually the most convenient and safest option.

Hotel Information

We’ll be staying in Ipanema at Sol Ipanema — a beautiful beachside neighborhood about 30 minutes from the wedding venue. For those wanting to stay close to tourist attractions, Ipanema and Copacabana are great options, with Leme offering a more relaxed vibe. For a more tranquil and less touristy beach experience with stunning city views and more affordable prices, we recommend Icaraí in Niterói. However, it is further from the main tourist attractions. I’ve listed the hotels in order of price, starting from the most luxurious.
