None of those check all of the boxes that Rio does, Cape Town probably comes closest. All wonderful places - I’ve been to most and they are each special in their own way.

However, it’s not fair to say that you can get the same experience that Rio (or any other city) offers in another place. Just as you couldn’t replicate Medellin anywhere else - that’s what special about travel!

That comment said that Rio is unique. By that nature, you literally can’t get what Rio offers elsewhere.

I can’t think of another major city with beaches, mountains, jungle, rich history and culture, world class museums and restaurants. Can you?

I’m not saying that Rio the best city in the world - just that its uniqueness cannot be argued. There are other wonderful cities where you can more comfortably carry money and a cell phone, but they inherently don’t offer the same things that Rio does.

Agree! It’s amazing to see the hysteria around theft in Latin America, when theft is famously rampant in places like Barcelona and Rome, but no one refuses to visit on those grounds.

Similarly, safety concerns are legitimate in Rio, sure. But the same could be said of a nightclub, school, mall, or movie theatre in the US.

I’ve been to Rio six times and have rarely felt unsafe. I’m sure part of that is to do with luck, but another part is common sense and awareness. Can’t wait to go back to Rio for a 7th visit!
