Where to live in Rio de Janeiro?

Are you thinking of moving to Rio de Janeiro? Has your company transferred you to this city? Then let's talk about where is a good place to live.

Many foreigners come with their families, so it's not just a question of finding a good flat, but also of being close to schools, hospitals, sports institutions and leisure activities.

But even if you come to Rio alone, it's fundamental to have a good place to stay, a good beach and good bars close to your flat, in short, to benefit from the many exciting things that Rio de Janeiro has to offer.

Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's most famous city. The city has a population of almost seven million and covers an enormous area. In addition to its unique natural beauty and cultural importance, Rio de Janeiro also has social inequality and crime. It is therefore important to know where you can live safely and comfortably in this large city.

The favourite residential area, especially for foreigners, is the south zone.

The south zone refers to the neighbourhoods of Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, São Conrado, Botafogo, Flamengo to Santa Teresa. Close to the beach, you'll find comfortable and luxurious flats, as well as the best restaurants and the most exclusive shops in town.

Botafogo is home to the "Corcovado German School", Flamengo to the French school, the "Lycée Molière", and several consulates are located in this historic area of Rio de Janeiro. "The British School" has two locations in the south, one in Botafogo and the other in Barra da Tijuca.

In addition to these advantages, the Zona Sul also offers the typical Rio de Janeiro lifestyle, the "Carioca-Lifestyle": beach life and nightlife, a wide variety of gastronomy, cafés and bars with live music.

The South Zone combines the unique natural beauty of the beaches, mountains and rainforest with comfortable living in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's cultural centre.
