Is Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro safe for tourists??

i've heard Rio isn't safe for tourists and should be avoided if possible. I can't believe a city so big and beautiful has this problem, where are the safe touristy areas to stay durinig Carnavl?

yes as long as you recognize that you are in a completely different culture and country... Rio is a very dangerous city dont get it twisted at night it is even unsafe to stop at red lights so you will see most drivers just cautiously keep moving. just because its a dangerous city doesnt mean that you cant learn alot and as long as you are respectful and smart you shouldnt have any trouble... esp during carnival there are tons of tourists from all over the world so its not like you will be the only one visiting. most of the tourists tend to stay in cocacabana or impenma also there are tons of amazing tourist attractions to visit all over the city! i would stay in cocacabana though they are used to tourists and it is pretty safe and rite on the beautiful beach...night is when to be most cautious though


*GodlyWoman*
I dont think so... but you can go to Rio and go to Buzios, there is beautiful and safe...

Rio de Janeiro has a high rate of violence all year round and it´s increasing every year. so what to expect in times of carnival when people are all out of their minds, it´s such a devilsh party, deseases , aids contamination increases, thefts, stray bullets and the dangerous minors smelling glue...
Do yourself a favor, go to Bahia it´s quite safer and much more "family" if you know what I mean

Burton,
se voce parar para pensar, qualquer lugar do MUNDO é perigoso!!
ate mesmo a sua própria casa, setorna perigosa no momento em que fica desprotegida.
Aqui no Brazi, nãoé diferente dos outros lugares, na verdadeé voce quem vai fazer a diferença. o carnaval do Rio de Janeiro é simplesmente lindo.
Quando voce vir ao Brasil, procure uma agencia de viagem de sua confiança, pesquise sobre ela com pessoas que ja viajaram...
desta forma voce podera se sentir seguro em qualquer lugar do mundo, nãoso brasil
Boa viagem e seja bem vindo ao Brasil
abraços
guiga

Don't stay in Copacabana. That neighborhood is a magnet for thieves and prositutes because that's where all the dumb tourists stay and they all walk around at night with their cameras and heavy wallets looking lost and vulnerable. I would stay in Ipanema, Leblon, or Barra da Tijuca (Barra is about 40 minutes drive from Centro but undoubtedly the safest neighborhood in Rio).

If you have any wits about you, you'll be fine in Rio during Carnival.

Marina All-Suites or Marina Palace in Leblon- nice
Sheraton in Barra da Tijuca- nice
DON'T stay at the Sheraton Rio Hotel & Towers...it is nestled along a dangerous favela (slum) on a very dangerous road and far from everything.
