Rio de Janeiro - Copacabana

Copacabana

To the south of the Morro do Urubu and Morro do Leme the world-famed beach of Copacabana extends for 4km/2.5mi. The first section is called the Praia do Leme. This 100-year-old district is the best known part of Rio. Just off the beach, on Avenida Atlântica, Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana and the neighboring streets, are some of the city's best hotels, restaurants and night spots, and on the wide sidewalks are numbers of street cafés, their tables packed closely together.
