Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is one huge conglomerate of cultures, races and nations, just as Brazil. It is a city of the frenetic hedonism and exaggeration in everything. Despite the indescribable crowd, pervasive crime, Rio is still one of the most attractive cities in the world. Despite constant transformation, the city still has the appearance of a colonial province until the early 20th century, when finally started development of the wider city avenues and building of palaces in the manner of French Belle Époque style.

Confeitaria Colombo
Once you well tired with walking through Rio, a great idea is to get a cup of coffee and cake and take a break in the most famous café in the city, “Confeitaria Colombo”. This place is extremely popular both among Cariocas and the tourists, so one need to patiently wait for a free table. The cafe opened in 1894, in the Belle Epoque era with a spacious main hall in the style of Art Nouveau, lined with mirrors in wrought iron and Portuguese tiles on the floors.
