5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Any fan of the beach scene will fall in love with Rio. The views from this coastal city are on par with any on the globe. Neighborhoods such as Leblon and Ipanema are the epitome of picturesque. The vibrancy surrounding Rio is truly tangible in nature. The people are also exceptionally warm and friendly. You’ll most certainly consume copious amounts of caipirinha’s – a rum concoction emanating from the country. The American dollar also does quite well in Brazil. As such, you’ll be able to budget quite nicely.
