4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Guide For The Rio Visitor, April 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet Rio De Janeiro (2nd ed) (Paperback)

How marvelous of Lonely Planet to devote an entire book to one city -- and what a city. Rio is one of the most beautiful, sexy and scary places on Earth and this guide is a great help in many different ways. It does lack, however, in the area of music -- which is an essential part of the Rio experience. For that I would recommend "The Brazilian Sound," in order to better enjoy the clubs, samba schools, Carnaval parades and dancetarias of Rio.

Very few things were out dated when I used this book. Great tips on where to eat, and what to see, and what particular crime areas to avoid. Its a good book for preplanning and during your trip. Check out the restaurant GIRL FROM IPANEMA to see where the song was written when your in Rio.
