Brazilian Real, BRL

Use ATMs (saques) for the best rates; avoid airport and tourist-area exchange bureaux which charge high fees and poor rates. In the 60060-510 area, bank ATMs from Banco do Brasil or Bradesco are reliable.

Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) widely accepted in shops and restaurants; contactless is common. Small street stalls and some taxis prefer cash.

Restaurants: 10% service charge is often added; if not, leaving 10% is customary. Taxis: round up to the nearest real. Hotel staff: R$5-10 per bag or per day for cleaning.

A small espresso (cafezinho) from a bakery or street cart costs about R$3-5.

A prato feito (set meal of rice, beans, meat, salad) at a cheap lanchonete costs around R$15-20.

A simple main course at a local diner (like a frango grelhado or espetinho) costs R$20-30.

The beachfront barracas and the central market area (Mercado Central) are good for cheap eats like pastéis, tapiocas, and açai.

Common budget supermarket chains are Pão de Açúcar (slightly more upscale) and Atacadão (bulk discount).

The Beco da Poeira market and the shopping malls like Shopping Aldeota have affordable high-street brands.

The cheapest is by bus (R$4.50 single); the airport bus (line 404) costs R$4.50. There is no day pass; buy a rechargeable Bilhete Único card.

Eat at the beachside barracas for affordable fresh seafood. Take the bus instead of taxis. Buy water and snacks at supermarkets rather than tourist stalls.
