Búzios Things To Do

Things To Do

Most people in Buzios wake up around 11am and hit the beach for sunbathing, water sports, and/or soccer before heading back to the hotel for a shower and a late afternoon nap. In the evening it is off to the Rua das Pedras for window shopping and a drink, followed by dinner and more drinks (it’s not uncommon to party at a nightclub until the wee hours). Still, there are other ways to pass the time – most of them nature related.

Smart Splurge    Great Value
Búzios Trolley
Passengers sit in on shaded benches in the adapted bed of a truck for this two-hour tour of 12 beaches and two vista points – a great Búzios overview. Juice, water, fruit, and crackers are provided.
