Browse all 92 municipalities in Rio de Janeiro State. Each page has a permanent English URL, a practical local overview and links to nearby destinations.
Use the tourist regions to keep road time realistic. City names remain in Portuguese because they are official place names.
How to use this city directory
Start with the tourist region that fits your route, then compare neighbouring municipalities before choosing accommodation. Rio de Janeiro State is large: a place described as being near Rio may still require several hours on the road. Check door-to-door time, tolls and the last safe return option.
Each guide uses an official Portuguese city name so it matches maps, road signs and booking platforms. The surrounding explanation is written in English for international travellers. Attraction names are preserved where translating them would make the place harder to find.
Opening hours, event calendars, transport and access rules can change. Confirm the final plan with the municipality or attraction, and verify paid tourism providers in Cadastur before booking. Save flexible time for weather changes and avoid combining distant regions in a single day.
