Directions

The largest urban park in the world by some measures, stretching along Guanabara Bay with stunning views of Sugarloaf and the bay. Locals come to cycle, jog, play football, and fly kites on weekends when the coastal road closes to traffic. The park was designed by Roberto Burle Marx and contains museums, playgrounds, and open-air concert venues. Avoid leaving valuables unattended, especially near quieter stretches after dark.
