Be the boy or the girl from Ipanema on your Rio vacation. Exclusive and central, Ipanema is one of the world's most famous beaches. Sports include surfing, windsurfing, and many other activities along the beach, which can be crowded in the southern summer. The neighborhood also has some of the best shopping in Rio, especially along Rua Visconde de Pirajá. The world headquarters of the gem dealer H. Stern is on this street. At night, Ipanema is safer for wandering than nearby Copacabana, but you might want to take taxis to be sure. Nightlife venues and restaurants abound in the area.
