Is Rio safe?
Just like any other big city, problems with security issues can arise. One of the highlights of Rio being always in the media is that it is the largest tourist city in the country, in addition to being the headquarters of the largest television station in Brazil. This gains an even greater proportion. Rio is not even within the 15 most violent capitals in Brazil. The tourist area of ​​Rio is basically concentrated in the city's fringe districts, which go from the center to Barra, corresponding to less than 10% of the city's total area. When adverse situations happen, the perception of those out of town is to think that everything happens in this area, wrongly influenced by the news.
