at a glance

nicknamed the 'city of smiles,' niterói is not part of the city of rio de janeiro, it is a separate city facing rio on the other side of guanabara bay - despite niterói not being a neighborhood of rio de janeiro, we included it in this part of the guide due to the city's importance from a touristic and cultural perspective.

furthermore, from zona sul niterói is faster and easier to access than many actual neighborhoods of rio de janeiro, such as campo grande or guaratiba - in fact, it is linked by the rio-niterói bridge and by a ferry service, and it is clearly visible from flamengo beach.     arrow-back      arrow-forward
