Yes..... a lot...

Answer 2

A friend of mine from Brazil says that Rio is the best (by it's beauty) and the worst(by it's criminal) situation city in Brazil. He advises me not to go there alone, but even with friends together you are not completely safe from being robbed. One of my friends visited Rio during carnival time, and she said it was fantastic, she liked it very much, but she was not exclusion too, she was robbed at the daylight...as for me I think that everything depends on you...just be careful, do not visit dangerous places, like slums...actually it can happen everywhere...but anyway I wish you a great trip to Rio...as I know July and August are winter months there, may be it will be not so hot.... ;)

Answer 3

there is a few of crime.

Answer 4

Like in other big cities! Look like a local, not like a tourist, and no matter! The colddest month is July, temperature is about 18 C, wind and rain.

Enjoy Rio!
