Series: EYEWITNESS TOP 10 TRAVEL GUIDE
Paperback: 128 pages
Publisher: DK Travel; Pap/Map Re edition (August 19, 2013)
My first choice in travel books! It never failed me! Slim and light to carry in my purse! AWESOME! I bought the comprehensive book on Brazil which had a small section about Rio. This on the other hand is all about Rio and was perfect for the week I vacationed there. It covered all the major sightseeing and also the small residential neighborhoods to see. It lacks rainy days alternatives for I ended up using a local guide book in Rio to assist me during the cloudy/rainy days while I was there. Overall 2 thumbs up!

I have used these books for travel before. Not a lot of detail about places, but a great way to move around and see all of the important things and get to see some great places will out having to search a big book. Also good for when you are just looking for simple things in a new place (restaurant, hotel, shops) and they are all ranked.

This guide was recommended to me by a family member who traveled to Rio last year. It was a great book for identifying the top sites if you are going for a short visit. There were also a few great restaurant recommendations.
A few suggestions...offer a free app for iPhone or iPad to add more recent content. Reduce weight of the book by having one (vs. three) maps.

Purchased the Eyewitness Top 10 Rio de Janeiro guide for my recent trip. I found it quite useful in finding recommended places to see supplemented by nice pictures of said attractions. The guide also has a few useful phrase translations for English to Portuguese and also provides good suggestions for restaurants with price ranges in specific geographic areas of Rio. The pages are thick and the pull out map is useful but not detailed enough for finding most specific addresses. I'd suggest Google maps for those instances.

This guide, like every "Eyewitness Guide" is always top quality. It doesn't just tell you the rote facts like nearly every other guide. It provides interesting details, such as, exact names of shops for shoes, etc.. Nice pictures, helpful fold-out maps, and the real low-down on things such as matters of personal safety in Rio, what to expect, manners, etc.
