Why Rio?

Because January in Rio is 28 degrees

Summer when you need it most

Norwegian winter is Rio's high summer. Swap mørketid for 14 hours of daylight and a sea you can actually swim in.

Norsk vinter er høysommer i Rio. Bytt ut mørketiden med 14 timer dagslys og et hav du faktisk kan bade i.

Your krone goes far

A beachside caipirinha costs less than a coffee in Oslo. Eating out every day is normal here — not a luxury.

En caipirinha på stranden koster mindre enn en kaffe i Oslo. Å spise ute hver dag er normalt her — ikke luksus.

Nature inside the city

Rio is the only major city with a rainforest in the middle of it. Hike granite peaks before breakfast, beach by noon.

Rio er den eneste storbyen med regnskog midt i byen. Gå på topptur før frokost, ligg på stranden til lunsj.

A culture that lets you in

Cariocas talk to strangers, sing in public and celebrate everything. It's the perfect antidote to Nordic reserve.

Cariocaer snakker med fremmede, synger offentlig og feirer alt. Den perfekte motgiften mot nordisk reserverthet.
