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.
