Reader Reviews
Cristiano Noguiera wrote this handy pocket-sized guide to Rio, one of the most exciting cities in the world, for young people, although a lot of the tips and information are also useful to older people such as myself. Clearly, this book is based on years of research, trial and error. You learn very early on that this is really a young person's book - it assumes that your day begins with a late breakfast at ten or 11, because you've been clubbing into the small hours on the night before. The book is well laid out, printed on high quality paper and filled with plenty of great photographs. There are several sections. Daytime activities are further divided into relaxation, tours, active sports and cultural. The food guide covers lunch and dinner with plenty of mouth-watering photographs. Sounds of Brazil tell you the various musical styles that you can expect to hear. Nighttime activities include chilling (a category that includes British and Irish pubs), clubs, street parties and live music. There is plenty of advice - what to take with you, what not to take with you, a list of hotels and hostels, what transport to use and why, things you need to buy once you get there, what to do at the beach, which parts of the city to avoid, problems of street traders, pickpockets and other criminals, even advice on how to find a partner. One of the many amusing - but useful - aspects of this book is the front cover flap, which illustrates eight hand signals, including one to ask for a beer. There are plenty of street maps showing various bits of Rio but the scale is necessarily small. To avoid eyestrain, you may still want a separate larger scale street map. However, the maps in the book pinpoint various locations that you aren't likely to find on any normal street map. The book also gives a website address to allow you to get all the latest information. Other website addresses, particularly of places that offer discounts, are also provided. So once you've got this book, you can do a lot of research on the internet without wasting time when you get there. At first glance the price may seem high for a 148-page pocket-sized book, but it can be used to obtain discounts on sports, tours, nightlife, restaurants, hotels and hostels - these discounts will save you far more than the cost of the book. Instructions on how to get the discount and what conditions apply are also supplied. This is a truly wonderful guide that should provide tourists with plenty of valuable advice.
