Urca was one of the best I visited in Rio. Relaxing on Praia Vermelha with great drinks, looking at the sea, walking through the neighborhood with beautiful views of Christ the Redeemer, Botafogo and Flamengo. Even better to finish with a beer and the sunset on the wall.

A visit to Praia Vermelha and Mureta da Urca with friends is a delightful experience. At Praia Vermelha, you and your friends can bask in the sun on a quaint, picturesque beach with stunning views of Sugarloaf Mountain. The calm, clear waters are perfect for a refreshing swim or a leisurely paddle. After soaking up the sun, head over to Mureta da Urca, a scenic promenade that’s ideal for a relaxed stroll. As you walk along the mureta, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the bay and the city skyline. The atmosphere here is laid-back, and it’s a great spot to chat, laugh, and watch the sunset together. Whether you’re sipping on a cold drink from one of the local kiosks or simply taking in the beauty of the surroundings, it’s a perfect way to spend time with friends.
