Tourist Info; All you need to know
This section is about that useful tourist info that you might need. It could be where to get your visa extended or how the hospitals work. In order to fit all this info in I have sub sections, just click on the links to get there. Rio de Janeiro is a modern city and although everything doesn´t work like a clock it has all the services of a modern 21st century city. The first I talk about is
Security in Rio & Drugs
. A lot has been said about it but hopefully I´ll be able to give you some pointers on how it´s best to behave here. The next section is about
Pharmacies and Hospitals in Rio
. Where you should go if you get ill and how it works. This is an important one, unfortunately many people have to contact the
Tourist Police & The Rio Police in General
. In case you get robbed you need a police report. Here I explain how to go about it. I also explain a bit about the police in general. Many people want to extend their
Visa in Rio
go here to find out how and where and what the rules are. Check out
Brazilian Permanency & Long Term Visas
for all the options available if you have plans to spend a longer time in Rio or Brazil - all about permancies, working-, student- and investment-visas. The section with
Facts About Rio de Janeiro
has things like population, crime rates and average rainfall. Next is a list of the
Consulates in Rio
and some useful info about
Banks and Foreign Exchange in Rio
. I also have sections on
Post Offices in Rio
and
Phonecalls & Internet in Rio
. Last but not least is my page with
Churches in Rio and Other Places of Worship for Foreigners
. Brazil Information There are a few sites about travel in Brazil. The first I want to mention is the official tourism site for Brazil
Embratur
, it is truly a great place to find information. Another site I recommend is
Brasil Turismo
, prtess the English flag and you´ll get a version in that language (not perfect Englsih, but hey, we are in Brazil). I have tried to be as concise as possible. This type of information often change but I´ll do my keep it updated. You giving me feedback is really helpful.
