I don’t quite remember where that was taken, but I think it is on Nove de Julho Avenue. You can have a similar vantage point from the patio underneath the MASP museum or at the end of the Paulista Avenue, corner with the Bela Cintra Street

Most airports in Brazil have wifi, or if not the wifi from the airport, some restaurants and shops might have it for clients as well.

I do in fact have a video about what to do when it is raining: ruclips.net/video/STjZhKwwMJg/видео.htmlfeature=shared Hope it is helpful!

Thanks for tip! 🥰

I confess I don’t know much about the neighborhood. It seems to have good accommodation options but it is a bit out of the way for those that want to move around the city. There are not any attractions I know of and I don’t know much about bars, restaurants, etc. However, I never hear any of my friends recommending Brooklyn for those visiting, nor I hear anyone really interested in going there either.

I dont think it is a walkable distance from the beach to the airport. The road right next to the beach will be closed and maybe a couple parallel roads more. So you are probably going to walk 2-4 blocks until you get to a road which allows cars. All the streets will be crowded throughout the night. The concern here is more around pickpocketing then anything violent. Even the tunnel between Copacabana and Botafogo (which I usually do not suggest to cross by foot) will likely be busy with people attending the fireworks display. My suggestion is to stay somewhere a bit farther from Copacabana but near a metro station (i.e. Botafogo or Flamengo), then get a metro from the fireworks back to your accommodation, then get a taxi/uber from there. This will help you avoid a bit of traffic

@@tripsterpanda @ thanks! I plan to be somewhere around posto 5 to watch fireworks. After fw walk about 4 blocks to cantagalo then ride the metro all the way up to cinelandia. Transfer to SDU via uber. Is this realistic??? My flight departs NYD at 9:30 so need to be at airport by 7:00 am. I have hotel in mind closest to SDU airport where i plan to stay.

@@rdiesel84tbh, I think Cinelandia is not a good idea as it will be very deserted around there, so I wouldnt select it. Thinking of all the stops, Botafogo is probably your best bet as there will still be some people around the streets likely. Also, at 6 am the traffic in Copacabana will be better, so you might not even need the metro.

@@anacristaldii decided to reserve a spot 5 min near posto 4. Is fireworks visible from street? Im considering reserving kiosk but insure if we can after fireworks or even open after 10pm.

A simple ring should be fine. The problem is usually stuff with bling. Also, necklaces are a bit worse, even the ones that are not worth much because they are snatched easily. The ring someone would need to actively ask you to remove it, but that is not usual to do. In general you just dont want to have bracelets, earrings, etc that look expensive.

@tripsterpanda I see, thanks a lot?

Hi, I won’t be in Rio, unfortunately. I don’t have a recommendation, but there are a couple of Facebook groups about travel to Brazil where people will likely be able to recommend someone to be your tour guide 🥰

It is very cool in there indeed!

Thank you so much! I wish the algorithm gods would agree with you! 😅😂

Have fun!

Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful! Hopefully you have great time visiting Salvador!

😳

@@tripsterpanda Also, Barra Funda is in the Line 3 (red), not Line 1. And in 2025 the airport shuttles will be done with the people mover, a small train moved by air that will connect the train station to all terminals.

I hope you have a lovely time!

Glad you liked it 🥰

💔❤️‍🩹

Glad it helped! 🥰

Thanks! It means a lot to me! 🥰

Hi, thanks for the feedback! This is an older video, we were still learning the ropes. I hope the more recent videos feel better to hear. I appreciate you being here! 🥰

Hey! So very thankful for you being here and for such a special milestone as the 1000th subscriber! I am glad the videos are being helpful and I hope you have an amazing time in Brazil!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Same tips apply for the ladies

Thank you for adding to the story. I do believe I mentioned what you say, but I appreciate the extra info in case it was not there.

Hi, Christmas is a big touristic season for Campos do Jordão. Brazilians usually celebrate the Christmas Eve instead of the Christmas day. You will probably find loads of Christmas Eve Supper (Ceia de Natal) for a fixed price in many restaurants. I suggest you book/pay in advance prior to going, as things can get busy/sold out. On Christmas day, lunch time might be the usual busy, since it is not really a tradition for us, I wouldn’t expect it to be as difficult. Some restaurants will likely be closed, but there are always the ones that will be working. You can also check for their working hours (horário de funcionamento) for the holiday season usually up to a month earlier. Lastly, if all fails, shopping centres might have shops closed on the 25th, but the food court will likely be open.

@@tripsterpanda thank you for the info and the reply! we are looking forward to it.

Hi! Unfortunately, I don’t have the tourism credential yet, so I cannot offer tours, but I will make sure to post here when I do :)

It is indeed! Try to include it in your plans, you won’t regret it 🥰

Very welcome! 🥰

Thanks for the feedback. This video in specific here was filmed a while ago (if the second video you are talking about is the one about safety is also a bit old) and things were still being worked on. Newer videos will have lower music and I will be wearing a lapel mic in them. I’m glad the information is helpful!

Glad it was helpful!

Anywhere you have loads of crowds, you will have pickpockets, being it Rio, London, or New York. I am just letting people know how to enjoy it in a safer way.

In the area I show in the video, Majórica is the best steakhouse (I think I mention it on the video as well). In Rio de Janeiro as a whole, Copacabana Palace is a great churrascaria rodízio (Brazilian style steakhouse)

​@@tripsterpandamuito obrigado. Os teus vídeos têm sido muito informativos... Vou ao Rio em abril 2025. 😊

@@edviges1 que bom que eles têm ajudado! Espero que aproveite bastante! 🥰🥰

I’m glad you are ok! And you are right, I focused more on the Pelourinho area for this video, but I do mention the deserted streets, I guess the beach would be the same.

Hi, the hotel recommended it to us! That seems to be a very common business model as not everybody has a car to go around, so there will be many drivers to take you to interesting places.

@@tripsterpanda Cool, thanks :)

My pleasure :)

Hello fellow carioca! 👋🏼 Pleased to know my video was helpful to you! I have the same predicament as you, as I live in the UK for a while now. I hope you and your family have a lovely time in our beloved Cidade Maravilhosa! Safe travels!

Hello, unfortunately, I don’t think that is possible. Usually you need one card per person.

I am very glad my video helped you with having a great time in Salvador! Have fun!

@@tripsterpanda I"ve also enjoyed your videos. I want to visit in late Oct or Nov and could use a travel plan. Can you help me?

Noted! This video is one of the older ones, the newer ones have a better sound balance. Thanks for the feedback!

Very nice, but very hot! High season due to year end holidays plus summer vacations. In Rio it can be rainy but sunny in the northeast. I have a full video about best times to visit Brazil where I talk a bit more about the weather during these months 🥰

Por nada! Agradeço pela visita ao meu vídeo 🥰

We agree!

You are welcome 🥰

Yes, but not as intense as in the USA

I did travel alone, yes. I felt apprehensive by what everybody I was telling me (I am originally from Rio), but nothing happened and there was police all around. I think the feeling is similar to what people talk about Rio, everybody says it is extremely dangerous but in reality if you are sticking to the tourist areas, you should be fine. My trip to Salvador was amazing, and despite the apprehensiveness, I felt safe overall!

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been to Rio alone and agree that by using common sense and sticking to tourist areas, all should be good. I’ll use the same approach in Salvador.

Thank you so much for the compliment! It means a lot to me! And yes, year end tends to be the most crowded of all times, after carnival. Very glad my video was helpful and hope you enjoy your trip. Ps: if at some point you do decide to visit during your bday, go to the sugarloaf party for NYE, absolutely gorgeous view of the fireworks. Tickets are usually on sale in September. Haven’t been for the NYE party there yet, but it is on my bucket list for sure :)

@@tripsterpanda Muitissimo obrigada! I wish your channel much success. I am binge watching and creating my itinerary using your videos. Especially where to stay and safety since I will be traveling solo. Mais uma vez, muito obrigada. 🍀🍀

Thanks! RUclips is not great at showing replies, so i lose track of them sometimes. I appreciate you being here!

Not anymore, used to be back when I filmed this video. Now it is very popular with tourists, before there were only mostly locals.

Yes! I loved the card and kept it from my previous trip :) Love Istambul, one of my favourite cities from the ones I have visited 🥰

Oi Jackson! Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo têm a maior oferta de cursos. Caso queira só conviver com brasileiros e praticar informalmente, qualquer cidade do Brasil ajuda. Os sotaques variam drasticamente em cada região do país, então dependendo de onde você estiver, você aprenderá gírias e modos de falar diferente, mas provavelmente será entendido em todo o território brasileiro. Boa sorte!

@@tripsterpanda obrigado 🙏. O que mês é o melhor? outubro é bom? Eu acho talvez Rio porque eu quero ver a estátua gigante.

@@D.Jackson141 eu gosto bastante dos meses de inverno e outono (entre maio e setembro no hemisfério sul). Outubro ainda é bacana, as temperaturas começam a aumentar e chover um pouco mais, mas ainda é baixa temporada, então a cidade está um pouco mais vazia. Meu mês preferido é setembro, bastante sol ainda, menos turistas (verão na Europa está acabando + férias escolares já acabaram = menos gente na cidade). Isso pro Rio de Janeiro. Pra Salvador, o verão (dez-mar) é melhor, pois naquela região é o período menos chuvoso, diferente do Rio, onde chove menos no inverno.

@@tripsterpanda muito legal! Obrigado por toda sua ajuda! Eu não sabia algumas palavras que você escreveu, mas consegui entender 😂😂🙏

Eu tentei escrever o mais corretamente possível pra ajudar. Bom que você aprendeu novas palavras! Aproveite a viagem!
