Rio de Janeiro Reports

Should I exchange US dollars for Brazilian real at the airport when I arrive?

Get only enough reals to get you to where you're going and tide you over until you can go to an ATM or money exchange place there.

Absolutely not or else you will receive your first fucking of the trip right there at the airport.

[Wantoknow]

With Uber I paid 42 reais from Copacabana to the airport. I never took uber from the airport, the cab is more expensive that's why it is better to only take the official taxi that use a counter.

Some of your information is NOT correct. The metro / trains stop running after 12.00. If a guy wants to take the train, last train will be around 11.50. You should leave 4 x4 by 11.35 to be sure.

AND, from 4 x4, go to Metr Uruguaiana. It is only 5 minutes from 4 x4. Carioca station is a 10 minute walk from 4 x4.

In regards to safety, I find centro to be just as safe as most big cities in the USA. If Mrusa plans to use UBER, then don't worry, you are good to go. It's cheap and convenient. Order the UBER after your shower and wait outside.

Thank you. Yes, I plan to only take the UBER or taxi. Around 11 to 12 mid-night, simply take the taxi and get home. Want to avoid any unnecessary risks.

Pretty sure 4 x4 is closer to Uruguaiana station.

I always take the subway in Carioca, the way is more or less the same, the carioca is only 5 minutes from 4 by 4, I know it I went to 4 by 4 50 times only for this trip from June to August.

Not a big deal. You want to take the subway in Uruguayan, just take it, I take the subway and also get off in carioca.

Now I am in Sao Paulo enjoying UBER.

Not big deal.

[Balboa]

Carioca is closer to 4 by4, cancun and 502.

Uruguaiana is closer to MV30 and T31.

My info is corect, the subway close at 12 , that means there are still metros running but the desks are closed and the door is closed at 12:00. 4 by4 is only 5 - 6 minutes from Carioca by foot. Centro is safe. Just avoid empty places. Around 10 pm, the streets start being empty.

Pretty sure 4 x4 is closer to Uruguaiana station.

[Komo753]

I have been to Rio about 20 times. That's trips to Rio, not just trips via metro to centro.

It's a 5-6 minute walk from 4 x4 to the Uruguaiana metro station. I did it plenty of times in the past 11 years. Here is an example from google maps. The carioca station is farther away from 4 x4.

A quick search of google maps shows the details..

I went to Rio many times, I often get off in Carioca to go to the termas, google is not always correct, carioca is only 5 minutes from the termas, why going to Uruguayan if carioca is also close to the terma, I don't need to have one more stop to go to Copacabana, yes I know but you can always book many train trips in advance so don't need to go to the desk and line up, if there re always train coming, because they have to terminate their path. From Carioca to leme by taxi is only 28. From Uruguayan is 32 reais. With uber 16 to 20 reais more or less.

Rio is not Tokyo, but the subway in Rio de Janeiro work very well. Other transports in Rio really suck, I often go to carioca around 11:55, and I take the subway and arrive in copacabana around 12:20. The trains continue working, because they have to finish their path, but the desks and the door are closed at 12. Yes like everywhere we have to go earlier, not only in Rio. I just said the subway closes at 12 so after midnight it is no use going to the metro. This problem is not only in Rio de Janeiro, Even in Tokyo if you don't go early you might miss the train because the line is fucking long in Tokyo.

P.S. Not a big deal.

It's a longer walk from 4x4 to the Carioca stop. Don't believe me, do a search.

Plus, if a guy doesn't have a metro card paid in advance, then you risk missing the last train. That's why I said go earlier. Plus, if you wait to leave 4 x4 until 11.50, they might have the gate closed already.
I have been there before 12.00 in the past and there was no train coming. Rio is NOT the USA, Europe, or Japan where most trains run on time / schedule. They can and will close the gates when they want.
I prefer to be safe than sorry.

Night fare taxi, after midnight if there is no more subway, from centro to Copacabana (leme). Ex Prado junior. 28 - 32 reais.

Question how much cheaper is uber? Compared to a regular cab.

Can you catch a uber by the airport when I land?

When I arrive at Rio de Janeiro, I take the bus to copacabana, it is only 16 reais, they stop in many places in Copacabana. Just ask the driver to stop when the bus is close to your place.

4 x 4 opens at 11 am and closes around 1 am.
I am staying at copa. I plan to use Uber or regular taxi.
What are the safety issues, are there any in the night. Just to get out of the 4 x 4, get a taxi and leave?

When you get out of 4 by 4 , just go to the subway station (carioca) It very safe to use subway, you can even take the subway at 12 AM, I've never had trouble. After midnight it is better to take the taxi or uber because the bus transport is not really safe, the bus transport is not good in Rio de Janeiro, they often come late they are never on time.
It is safe to walk around, you can have dinner you just have to be careful like everywhere and don't brink too much money just bring what you need for sex and food.
4 by4 is open from 1. 30 pm to 12 am, when 4 by4 is closed you can swift from the terma to whiskeria, the whiskeria is open till 3 AM. You don't need to pay the entrance again unlike Cancun. The move in whiskeria is as good as the terma from 11 PM. Early in the whiskeria, it is very slow so it better to be in the terma till 11 pm before going to whiskeria.....
If you stay in copa, taking the subway is easy and faster...

Thank you for very much for replying. Really appreciate it. I understand probably my information is old. I just checked and it says the offer was on Wednesday. I am wondering if dupla is on menu on these termas and how much they cost.

Cheers.

Dupla is not on the menu but you can take 2 upstairs if you want-its twice the fee for girl one for room.

The dupla discount is to be found at VM occasionally but its mostly girls themselves who will try and initiate that.

The termas prefer every girl to go up so they get the room fee per girl. (Brazilian thinking (You can definetely bargain for a dupla in termas (my friend did at MC after he had one already week before).

Good luck. With economy down they probably will have to incentivize and initiate new baits so why not?

Be cheeky and offer 250 for an hour with 2 in 31. They might go for it.
