for the more adventurous, the beaches are great for water sports, snorkeling, and scuba diving, in addition to the surrounding peaks in the region offering treks and hikes are also a fun way to enjoy the fine weather - golf and other sports might appeal to the young and active, while the fantastic fishing is a good way to catch some time away from the town.

if the sun and fun in the water gets too much and a dose of retail therapy is in order, then visitors are spoilt for choice as búzios has countless stores, art galleries selling the work of both local and international artists, and gift shops - most of which can be found on rua das pedras.

the prefecture of búzios maintains an official webpage with more information on the city on this link.
