Buzios is one of those places that you just fall in love for. It is the perfect mix between incredible beaches, great hotels, excellent restaurants, great bars and night life... and the best part is... the sun shines almost all over the year.

The best thing is that is a kind of place for all budgets, you don't need to have deep pockets to have a really great time in Buzios (it helps, though!)

Let the video speak of it self...

The city of Buzios has a great website where you can choose between many options where to stay, eat, shop and visit.


Some tips from us:

In Buzios is easier to get transportation during the day, so we advise you to stay close to the town center called "Armação de Búzios" - (where the "Rock's Street" is) - this way you can enjoy the night and walk home.
