Rio de Janeiro, the Marvellous City ('Cidade Maravilhosa'), is a destination that has always agitated the imagination of the lesbian and gay traveller.
Falling in love with Rio and it's people is very easy. Cosmopolitan Cariocas are friendly with everyone and there is a big community of gay, lesbians and trans-people, making you feel welcome almost everywhere.

Language should not be a problem. Most people you would actually have to deal with understands basic English or Spanish. Others will try hard, and this is also part of the fun. Body language is universally understood, of course.

The beach ('posto 8 ½' in Ipanema) is the perfect setting to make new friends, and find out what is going on.

Go to Farme Gay in Ipanema, a little to the east of cross-street Farme de Amoedo.
This spot attracts local TV stars, gays and lesbians, international celebrities but, most of all, this is Barbie land. Before you ask, Barbie is a term used by locals to describe muscular and well-off gay men who live on the South Side. Don't miss the gay dodge-ball and volleyball matches on Sundays.
Live and enjoy Rio Gay by Day and you will find more ideas of things to do and see.

People looking for fun, nightlife is teeming with possibilities. You can enjoy of a nice dinner around 8 or 9 at world-class restaurants, and go for a round-up of gay bars and lounges in Ipanema or Copacabana. Around midnight moves on to the dance clubs. In addition to the mandatory go-go boys, you will enjoy live shows, drag performances, and other specials. Circuit parties are a perfect alternative for weekend nights.

Except for the gay baths, of course, lesbians are welcome at most gay clubs and parties. If you feel more comfortable in a girls-only environment, there's a lesbian dance club open every night of the week For variety sample the special lesbian nights at other clubs and lounges.
