  Hi J-Malik,
  
  My friend lives in Rio and came up with the following things to see and do in Rio. Hope it helps:
  
  Tourist Attractions:
  - Corcovado (personal note: do it on a clear day, the view is amazing and it would be a shame if you got to miss it because of clouds)
  - Pao de Azucar (Sugar Loaf) --> the gondola you use to go up there was used in one of the James Bond movies
  - Copacabana Beach (I remember I was recommended to not take my camera out because of robbers, but you HAVE to get at least one photo)
  - Ipanema Beach (personally I found this a prettier beach than Copacabana)
  - See if you can take an ORGANISED trip into the favelas (very important, do not undertake this by yourself because you will NOT come out alive)
  
  Recommended clubs:
  - Praia Club
  - Boox
  - The Week (best on Fridays)
  - Londra
  - Marina
  - Vivo Rio
  (The last two usually have 'special events' on. I don't know what that means but you might find out when you're there.)
  
  Restaurants:
  - Porcao Rio
  - Carretao
  
  And if you have an extra day or so, visit Buzios. It's beautiful!!
  
  Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip.
