Bollani Copacabana Beach. Die Copacabana wird völlig überschätzt und absolut nicht besuchenswert. Preise total überhöht, sehr kriminelle Umgebung, abends schon gar nicht zu empfehlen. Nichts wie weg von der Copacabana und Ipimena, die glorreichen Zeiten sind schon sehr sehr lange vorbei “Rio de Janeiro - schön aber gefährlich” Bewertet am 30. Januar 2011 Eine Stadt welche man schwer in Worten beschreiben kann. Die Lage von Rio ist wunderschön und auch die Sehenswürdigkeiten muss man gesehen haben, wäre da nicht die Sicherheit, könnte man diese City als einer der sehenswertesten der Welt bezeichnen. Zuerst mal das Positive. Die Stände Copacabana und Ipanema sind wirklich eine Augenweide, wobei der letztgenannte weitaus schöner und sauberer ist. Copacabana lebt nur von Namen und vom Blick auf den Zuckerhut. Der Höhepunkt von Rio ist "Corcovado" und seine Christus Statue. Die 38 Meter hohe Statue liegt 710 Meter über Rio und ist nicht nur für einen gläubigen Christ ein Augenöffner. Corcovado liegt im Nationalpark Parque Nacional da Tijuca und sollte nur bei guten Wetterbedingungen besucht werden. Die letzten Meter zur Statue fährt man mit organisieren Shuttlebussen. Die Ausblicke von der Statue rund um Rio sind umwerfend. Je später man anreist, desto mehr behindert die Sonne den Blick auf die Statue. Meines Erachtens eignet sich der frühe Nachmittag am Besten. Der zweite Höhepunkt von Rio ist zweifelsohne "Pae de Acucar" (Sugarloaf). Mit einer Seilbahn gelangt man über einen kleinen Zwischenhügel zum 395 Meter hohen Zuckerhut. Von hier aus hat man umwerfende Aussichten auf Downtown, Copacabana und die Christ Statue. Ich würde man späten Nachmittag anreisen und die untergehende Sonne von hier aus bewundern. Die Schatten die sich dann über der Stadt bilden sind super Photomotive. Der Eintritt kostet: 44 BRL. Ganz interessant in Rio ist auch Downtown mit seiner architektonisch außergewöhnlichen Kathedrale und seinen Hochhäusern. Ein Besuch wert ist auch die schöne Kirche "Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Candelaria" und der Stadtteil St. Teresa. Das Stadion Maracana war bei meiner Besuch bereits für die WM2014 gesperrt. Der beste Platz zum Übernachten, Shoppen und Essen ist definitiv Ipanema. Dies ist auch mit Abstand sicherste Fleck von Rio. Leider! In der Nacht sollte man unbedingt Taxis ( gibt es zehntausende ) benutzen. Auf keinem Falle darf man am Stand einen nächtlichen Spaziergang unternehmen oder in Seitenstraßen herumgehen. Wirklich! Sehr gefährlich. Die ganze Stadt besteht aus Armenvierteln, sog. Favelas. Fern ab von Copacabana gibt es fast nichts anderes. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit nach einem Fußballspiel im Olympic Stadion die Stadt komplett zu durchfahren. teilweise echt erschreckend, wie arm die Leute hier sind. Alle Wertgegenstände muss man im Hotel lassen und auf keinem Falle Ringe und Schmuck tragen. Am besten in lockerer Kleidung rumlaufen und nichts Unnötiges dabeihaben. Die Stadt zu besichtigen dauert einen halben tag, den Rest kann man am Strand verbringen. Hier gilt auch, nichts Unnötiges und Wertvolles mitnehmen. Diebstahl ist gerade in Rio an der Tagesordnung. Noch ein paar Ausgehtipps. Ein abendlicher Drink im Vorzeigehotel Copacabana Palace ist rein von der Atmosphäre her genial. Ist allerdings ein wenig teuer. Das beste, angesagteste Hotel der Stadt liegt natürlich in Ipanema und heißt Fasano. Als Restaurant kann ich das Frontera ebenfalls in Ipanema empfehlen. Wer ein Souvenir kaufen möchte liegt mit einer kleinen Christusstatue und brasilianischen Havaianas ( Badeschlappen ) genau richtig. Zum Flughafen fährt man am Besten mit dem Taxi. kann schon mal je nach Tageszeit eine Stunde dauern und kostet so 70 BRL. Hilfreich? 11 Danke, Jochen M!

Copacabana (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɔpakɐˈbɐñ ɐ, ko-, -pɐ-, -kaˈ-]) is a bairro (neighbourhood) located in the South Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is known for its 4 km (2.5 miles) balneario beach, which is one of the most famous in the world.[1] History The district was originally called Sacopenapã (translated from the Tupi language, it means "the way of the socós", the socós being a kind of bird) until the mid-18th century. It was renamed after the construction of a chapel holding a replica of the Virgen de Copacabana, the patron saint of Bolivia.[2] The name may be derived from the Aymara kota kahuana, meaning "view of the lake." The social scientist Mario Montaño Aragón found in the "archives of Indias" in Sevilla, Spain, a different history: "Kotakawana" is the god of fertility in ancient Andean mythology, the equivalent to the classical Greek goddess Aphrodite or the Roman Venus. This god is androgynous and lives in the Titicaca, and his court consists of creatures (male and female) that are represented in colonial sculptures and in Catholic churches. They were called "Umantuus", known as mermaids in Western culture. Characteristics Copacabana begins at Princesa Isabel Avenue and ends at Posto Seis (lifeguard watchtower Six). Beyond Copacabana, there are two small beaches: one, inside Fort Copacabana and the other, right after it: Diabo ("Devil") Beach. Arpoador beach, where surfers go after its perfect waves, comes next, followed by the famous borough of Ipanema. The area was one of the four "Olympic Zones" during the 2016 Summer Olympics. According to Riotur, the Tourism Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro, there are 63 hotels and 10 hostels in Copacabana.[3] Copacabana Beach Copacabana beach, located at the Atlantic shore, stretches from Posto Dois (lifeguard watchtower Two) to Posto Seis (lifeguard watchtower Six). Leme is at Posto Um (lifeguard watchtower One). There are historic forts at both ends of Copacabana beach; Fort Copacabana, built in 1914, is at the south end by Posto Seis and Fort Duque de Caxias, built in 1779, at the north end. One curiosity is that the lifeguard watchtower of Posto Seis never existed.[4] Hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and residential buildings dot the promenade facing Avenida Atlântica. On Sundays and holidays, one side of Avenida Atlântica is closed to cars, giving residents and tourists more space for activities along the beach. Copacabana Beach plays host to millions of revellers during the annual New Year's Eve celebrations, and in most years, has been the official venue of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup. Panorama of the Copacabana beach. Copacabana promenade The Copacabana promenade is a pavement landscape in large scale (4 kilometres long). It was rebuilt in 1970 and has used a black and white Portuguese pavement design since its origin in the 1930s: a geometric wave. The Copacabana promenade was designed by Roberto Burle Marx. Living standard Copacabana has the 11th highest Human Development Index in Rio; the 2000 census put the HDI of Copacabana at 0.902.[5] Neighbourhood According to the IBGE, 160,000 people live in Copacabana and 44,000 or 27.5% of them are 60 years old or older.[6][7] Copacabana covers an area of 7.84 km²[citation needed] which gives the borough a population density of 20,400 people per km². Residential buildings eleven to thirteen stories high built next to each other dominate the borough. Houses and two-story buildings are rare. When Rio was the capital of Brazil, Copacabana was considered one of the best neighborhoods in the country. Transportation More than 40 different bus routes serve Copacabana,[8] as do three subway Metro stations: Cantagalo, Siqueira Campos and Cardeal Arcoverde. Three major arteries parallel to each other cut across the entire borough: Avenida Atlântica (Atlantic Avenue), which is a 6-lane, 4 km avenue by the beachside, Nossa Senhora de Copacabana Avenue and Barata Ribeiro/Raul Pompéia Street both of which are 4 lanes and 3.5 km in length. Barata Ribeiro Street changes its name to Raul Pompéia Street after the Sá Freire Alvim Tunnel. Twenty-four streets intersect all three major arteries, and seven other streets intersect some of the three. Notable events On 26 April 1949, RMS Magdalena broke in two as she was being towed into Rio de Janeiro harbour. Much of her cargo of oranges was washed up upon the beach. On December 31, 1994, the New Year's Eve celebrations featured a Rod Stewart concert with an attendance of 3.5 million, making it the largest concert crowd ever.[9] More recently, the beach has been a site for huge free concerts unrelated to the year-end festivities. On March 21, 2005, Lenny Kravitz performed there in front of 300,000 people, on a Monday night. On February 18, 2006, a Saturday, The Rolling Stones surpassed that mark by far, attracting over 1.5 million people to the beach. On July 7, 2007, the beach hosted the Brazilian leg of the Live Earth concerts, which attracted 400,000 people. As the headliner, Lenny Kravitz got to play the venue a second time, with Jorge Benjor, Macy Gray, O Rappa and Pharrell as the main opening acts. On October 2, 2009, 100,000 people filled the beach for a huge beach party as the IOC announced Rio would be hosting the 2016 Olympics. 11 of the 15 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cups have taken place here. On July 28, 2013, the beach hosted the final event of the World Youth Day 2013. About 3 million people including 3 presidents joined Pope Francis when he celebrated the holy mass. From May till July, 2014 the United Buddy Bears exhibit was held on the Copacabana promenade and attracted more than 1,000,000 people. The presentation consisted of more than 140 bear sculptures, each two metres high and designed by a different artist.[10] In August 2016, Copacabana Beach was the site of beach volleyball in the Olympic Games. New Year's Eve in Copacabana The fireworks display in Rio de Janeiro to celebrate New Year's Eve is one of the largest in the world, lasting 15 to 20 minutes. It is estimated that 2 million people go to Copacabana Beach to see the spectacle. The festival also includes a concert that extends throughout the night. The celebration has become one of the biggest tourist attractions of Rio de Janeiro, attracting visitors from all over Brazil as well as from different parts of the world, and the city hotels generally stay fully booked. History New Year's Eve has been celebrated on Copacabana beach since the 1950s when cults of African origin such as Candomblé and Umbanda gathered in small groups dressed in white for ritual celebrations. The first fireworks display occurred in 1976, sponsored by a hotel on the waterfront and this has been repeated ever since. In the 1990s the city saw it as a great opportunity to promote the city and organized and expanded the event. An assessment made during the New Year's Eve 1992 highlighted the risks associated with increasing crowd numbers on Copacabana beach after the fireworks display. Since the 1993-94 event concerts have been held on the beach to retain the public. The result was a success with egress spaced out over a period of 2 hours without the previous turmoil, although critics claimed that it denied the spirit of the New Year's tradition of a religious festival with fireworks by the sea. The following year Rod Stewart beat attendance records. Finally, the Tribute to Tom Jobim - with Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, and Paulinho da Viola - consolidated the shows at the Copacabana Réveillon. There was a need to transform the fireworks display in a show of the same quality. The fireworks display was created by entrepreneurs Ricardo Amaral and Marius. From the previous 8–10 minutes the time was extended to 20 minutes and the quality and diversity of the fireworks was improved. A technical problem in fireworks 2000 required the use of ferries from New Year's Eve 2001-02. New Year's Eve has begun to compete with the Carnival, and since 1992 it has been a tourist attraction in its own right.[11] Fireworks in Copacabana.
