The Todo Mundo no Rio will bring together a crowd of tourists in Rio de Janeiro (RJ) to attend the concert by the singer Shakira on May 2. The anticipation surrounding the performance is reorganizing the city's dynamics, with fully booked hotels, greater circulation in the streets, and a lineup that extends beyond the main event.
Thus, Todo Mundo no Rio is not limited to the stage set up on the sands of Copacabana. The Labor Day holiday opens room for routes that include natural landscapes, historic landmarks and cultural experiences that help build a broader understanding of the city. Below, we suggest 7 activities for those who want to make the most of the trip to explore Rio de Janeiro in depth!
The beaches remain one of the central points of the carioca experience. Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon see the most movement, while stretches such as Prainha and Grumari offer a quieter pace.

The Botanical Garden brings together native and exotic species along a route that combines shade, silence and contemplation. Created in the early 19th century, the space preserves areas of the Atlantic Forest and paths that allow you to explore the project without haste. In the context of Todo Mundo no Rio, the outing offers a counterpoint to the intensity of the busier areas.

Located atop Corcovado, Christ the Redeemer is one of the country's most recognized landmarks. Access can be by train or van, on a route that crosses the urban forest of the Tijuca National Park. Within the Todo Mundo no Rio itinerary, the monument offers a panoramic view of the city.

The Parque Bondinho Pão de Açúcar offers one of the most expansive views of Rio, with access via a two-stage cable car. From the top, it is possible to observe Guanabara Bay, the beaches and the urban fabric in contrast with the vegetation.

The central area brings together buildings from different periods, such as the Theatro Municipal, the National Library and the Imperial Palace. Museums, cultural centers and exhibition spaces help compose a route that reveals Rio's urban formation. In the context of Todo Mundo no Rio, this area offers a more budget-friendly experience, with several free entries, and is accessible on foot.

Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas allows a continuous circuit that can be covered on foot or by bicycle. Along the way, the landscape transforms with the presence of mountains, green areas and the view of Christ the Redeemer in the background. During Todo Mundo no Rio, this route functions as an active interval, connecting different parts of the city.

Samba remains one of the most present expressions in the city's cultural life. Traditional venues and informal rodas occupy different neighborhoods, especially in Lapa and Santa Teresa. During the holiday, the night stretches with live music and lively gatherings. Who knows, maybe Shakira herself will decide to enjoy some good samba?
