Customer Travel Tip: Always be aware of your surroundings. Keep personal items close to you, or better to leave at your hotel.
Liked: It is one of my favorite vacation destinations. Tje fresh fruit is exotic and easy to find. Plenty of dining options to suit almost any taste. Nightlife is world famous too.
Disliked: Outside of big tourist areas, the city can be very dirty and outright dangerous. You definitely have to be aware of your surroundings (despite all the natural beauty around you). Thieves and crooks are plenty and wait to prey on tourists. A hostel guest where i stayed was robbed of passport, money, phone, and credit cards while at ipanema beach. The ocean water had more garbage than i recall from a trip just 5 months ago.

Sightseeing & culture
Customer Travel Tip: Sightseeing is great but if you want to experience the city, go to stay in a Favela, especially Vidigal guesthouse.
Liked: The life and soul of the place. Seeing a local football match and experiencing the passion. Sugar loaf mountain more than Christ the Redeemer but both were awesome. The markets!
Disliked: The sewage floating about in the sea. Copacabana was too dirty, Ipanema was better. Traffic at rush hour was very very busy, like hours to move not very far.
