Things to do in Botafogo Rio de Janeiro

Botafogo centers on its namesake half-moon bay and sandy beach with views of Sugarloaf Mountain. Away from the water, high-rises give way to tree-lined streets with cinemas, innovative bistros and malls, plus hip enclaves featuring cool bars and alternative nightclubs. The Indian Museum shows indigenous artifacts in a 19-century house with gardens. Nearby, the summit of Morro Dona Marta offers panoramic views.
