Study the Surroundings

You may also wish to see the attractions so it’s best to prepare a detail itinerary before you head out for the trip. This would help you to explore Rio like a local.
Since there will be crowds everywhere you head, it’s best to prepare the best you can in order to stay away from any travel disappointments.

Stay Away from the City

Who doesn’t enjoy being in the middle of all the fun and happenings? However, you might actually be better otherwise. You need to be kind on your wallet because it’s already going to be the most expensive time to travel to Rio. At the moment, places like Lagoa, Santa Teresa and Botafogo show lower night rates compared to other major cities.

Of course, this means you would have to travel miles to get to the Olympic Park. However, this is still an advantage because cheaper accommodation is hard to get if you wish to save otherwise. The chances are that the travel costs would still work out to be cheaper.

Alternative Airport

The chances are that the airfares will be sky high from now onwards. Here is a little travel trick that a lot of travelers are missing out. When booking flights, many of us select the main airport hub because it is well known and seems like the most convenient option. When you search for cheaper flights, consider flying through other less known airports. This means you will have to make travel arrangements to get to your destination, but it’s still a great saving tip!
Budget airlines mostly fly out through these alternative airports. Search well before you end up selecting the flight.

Consult Locals

You might purchase the best selling guidebooks for your trip. However, nothing beats the expert tips of a local. They know the in and out of the city like no one else, so they can provide you with the most valuable information.
