Great beaches and views, and a pulsating music and dance scene make Rio one of the world’s premier tourist cities. But that can mean visitors’ experiences are all very, well, touristy. We want to hear about your more local, authentic finds in the cidade maravilhosa, from coastal hideouts to cool clubs, bars or galleries.
Send us your specific tips via GuardianWitness, including as much detail as you can in around 100 words (along with website, prices etc, if possible).
The best tips will appear in print in next weekend’s Travel section and the winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com, allowing you to stay in more than 260,000 places worldwide. Submit your tip by clicking the blue button and using the text tab.
You’re welcome to add a photo if you own the copyright to it – but it’s the text we’ll be judging.
Closes 27 July 10am GMT
