Rio de Janeiro is a modern city and although everything doesnīt work like a clock it has all the services of a modern 21st century city. The first I will talk about is Security in Rio & Drugs . A lot has been said about it but hopefully Iīll be able to give you some pointers on how itīs best to behave here.

The next section is about Pharmacies and Hospitals . 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 . 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 visas go here to find out how and where and what the rules are.

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 .

I also have sections on Post Offices and Internet & Phonecalls . Last but not least is my page with Places of Worship for Foreigners .
