For your trip to Rio de Janeiro, I recommend preparing with a mix of practical guides and inspiring reading. A solid travel guide such as Lonely Planet Rio de Janeiro or Lonely Planet Brazil will help you plan neighborhoods to explore, understand public transport, and discover safe and authentic places to eat and drink. Fodor’s Essential Brazil is another good option, with suggested itineraries and cultural tips. To immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the city, consider reading Rio de Janeiro: Extreme City by Luiz Eduardo Soares or Brazil: The Troubled Rise of a Global Power by Michael Reid for broader context about the country. For something lighter, a photo book like Rio: Beautiful City can help you visualize the beaches, hills, and neighborhoods before you arrive. As your travel agent, I also recommend carrying a small Brazilian Portuguese phrasebook (or a language app) to help with everyday interactions, especially in taxis, restaurants, and local markets.
