the marvelous city is home to many neighborhoods, official and unofficial, many of which can be near the touristic attractions, but tucked away from all the hustle and bustle - they can be known for iconic landmarks or for being more residential, but still offer as much carioca enjoyment as any other district. 

some of these areas include but are not limited to jardim botânico(link), gávea(link), são conrado(link), laranjeiras(link), arpoador(link), urca(link), located in zona sul, as well as zona norte with neighborhoods like tijuca(link) and maracanã(link) - within each district there are incredible sites as well as housing accommodations that can satisfy anyone's taste and needs.
