A must for all travelers........2000-07-14
I ordered this map shortly before visiting my in-laws in Rio. It was extremely useful- I only gave it 4 stars because one of the few street names that they left out was the street where my wife was raised which confused me for a while. Other than that it was very accurate and informative.

Lonely Planet is Out!.......2004-05-12
I dont recommend this book, most of the informations are inaccurated. Rio has an extensive options that are not described on that book. Unfortunately I have spent three days to discover an excelent visual travel guide called Rio for Partiers. Expensive than Lonely Planet, it's true, but all the informations you have to know is there. By The Way I could save a lot of money using the discounts and bonuses!
Cheap to buy but worth nothing!.......2004-03-23
This book contains just as much information as this review.
gives me the yawns.......2004-03-22
Not enough information about the popular culture or nightlife to really absorb the lifestyle of Cariocas. For such a complex and exciting city, this book offers basic, conventional information, some of which is out dated and few photos or illustrations. ...This book gives me the yawns. I recommend Rio for Partiers (even if you are not twenty-something)to get excited about traveling to Rio de Janeiro, one of the most gifted cities in the world.
I do not recommend this book..........2004-03-18
Before going on my trip to Rio, I decided to purchase 3 guide books rather than relying on just one. And what a great decision that was! Had I relied on just Lonely Planet's Rio guide, I would have been as hopeless as a lost puppy. Most of the information in this book are outdated or plain incorrect. Important areas such as music, nightlife, etc. were neglected and many recommendations such as those for lodging & dining were off. My suggestion is that one should definitely look for alternatives to this guide as my copy is awaiting a more useful future near a recycling plant on outskirts of Rio.
Of the 3 guides that I purchased, I found Rio for Parties the most useful. An excellent guide aimed for the young or the young at heart.

Very few things were out dated when I used this book. Great tips on where to eat, and what to see, and what particular crime areas to avoid. Its a good book for preplanning and during your trip. Check out the restaurant GIRL FROM IPANEMA to see where the song was written when your in Rio.
