Sugarloaf Mountain

great spot for photos - especially around dusk. the mountain Urca, next to it, is where you should get a helicopter ride around Açúcar and the beaches and around Cristo. well worth it.

Awesome place and view ! Try and arrive as early as possible to avoid big crowds in the cable cars and get the best shots at the top. A tip for foreign visitors: everything is way costy up there.

Sunset is nice up here but not many places to have a good view except for the cafe ..

One of the iconic attraction of this amazing city : rising 396m above the sea, you can go up by taking two cable cars (about every 20min) and offers the most incredible view on the planet

While in Rio you must go to Sugarloaf Mountain . It has beautiful views of the entire city . It was so beautiful that we ended up being happy it wasn't a crystal clear day. Read more

Well worth taking the cable cars to see the crazy panoramic views . An experience not to be missed and you really don't need a tour . It's cheaper and you can spend as much time as you wish taking pics.

Hike up to the first peak and then take the cable car back down after sunset . Fair warning that the lines can be long, so get started early!

This place is a must if you come to Rio. Amazing view of the bay from the top. Nice bar and excellent place to take pictures

The best place to take a look at the Marvelous City ! Amazing views of its many beaches , mountains , ocean...

One of the best views of Rio! This is the number 2 must-see tourist place in the city . The Christ would be the #1. Both of them can be visited in one day.

Great view of the whole city ! You can enjoy on 1st station; drink sth or have a breakfast before you go up

Try to visit on both a sunny and a rainy day. Clouds and rain leave their own signature on the pretty Rio landscape (watching Cristo Redentor float into and out of sight behind the clouds is surreal).

It's interesting to go early in the morning so there are almost no one at the top and also you can take your break-first sitting at a table with a wonderful view !!

James Bond and CIA Agent Holly Goodhead bump into each other on top of Sugarloaf Mountain while watching Air Drax planes take off from the airport across the bay in Moonraker (1979).

Must-see panoramic view from up there. Come before 10am, less crowded and less clouds as well ;)

Vá sem pressa. Pegue um banco, estique as pernas e tome uma cervejinha apreciando a vista. // Take your time. Grab a seat, stretch your legs and drink a beer enjoying the view .

Has little cafes , shops, views are stunning, never go be4 3pm, a must see sunset . Locals clap when sun sets. Beautiful moment. 61 reals entrance & taxis 25 reals don't get stung 4 more.

Gorgeous 360 degree views of Rio de Janeiro ! Don't forget to bring your camera !

Its a magical place. When you are up by the clouds you can't believe what your eyes see, it's so beautiful!

Incredible view . Interesting tour getting up to the top. Feels like in the old James Bond movie ;-)

While in line , be on the lookout for marmoset monkeys. They will come right up to you!

Very beautiful view once you get on the top of the mountain ! ????????

We went close to 5pm there. No queues at all (Feb 2017). Loved it!

Hike up the trail from Praia Vermelha, then take the gondola to the top, it's awesome! :)

Perfect place for early morning. You can have the spectacular view show and enjoy the city views

If you like you can save money and spend your legs and breath in a 30 min easy climb and also see lots of monkeys on the way up.

Amazing views , and some fantastic photo opportunities at sunset . Make sure to explore the 'Young Path'

Lindo lugar, e vista maravilhosa! (Beautiful place and wonderful view !)

One of the most beautiful sights I've seen. Don't miss the sunset !

Its a magical place. You can't believe what your eyes see, it's so beautiful!

To reach the top, there's a cable car (arrives after every 20 minutes or so) to give you amazing panoramic views of the city .

Go in the late afternoon to watch the sun set behind Christ the Redeemer Statue . The lines aren't too bad to go up around that time either.

Most visited place.. Dont miss this one. Cable car is one way to enjoy the full panoramic view

Great views ! Highly recommended!

Sugar loaf has been eternised by Yan Fleming when he was recorded part of the James Bond Movie .

The view was amazing. Plus I had never been on a cable car before.

Probably the best views of Rio de Janeiro . You need to take two cable cars to get to the top.

Go ahead of sunset and have a drink at the very top while you wait!

Check out the mini movie theatre . Showing the history of Sugar Loaf , at the end it shows a clip of "Moonraker:007" with Bond battling Jaws on the cable cars !, so stay til the end of the show!

Excellent pictures, wait until sunset to take the best shots!

Awesome 360 degree views - head up around 4pm to watch the sunset

Sit on the right hand side of the train for the best views ; might not seem a good idea but facing backwards is the best side.Info by www.stuffon4sq.com Read more

Check out the mini movie theatre showing the history of Sugar Loaf...BUT stay til the end as the show the cable car battle between James Bond 007 and Jaws in the film "Moonraker"!

Worth every one of the R$62 entry to go all the way to the top

Unbelievable view . Must see once in your life.

The view is superb

Best view of Rio. Visit at sunrise or sunset .

Amazing views . One of the most beautiful places I've ever been.

Do the trail instead of taking the "bondinho"!

Absolutely breathtaking and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life.
