Please, correct my preposition phrases and find out more about Brazil 2 Around Rio de Janeiro, there is a village called Paraty that is very cute. It's around 3 hours by car. You can see a real royal road - or gold way - throughout of Paraty. It's better if you read something about before to go, or hire someone who offers touristic tours. In general, I prefer to search for informations about the history of the places before going somewhere. Otherwise, I have to pay for these explanations. However, there are many cheap tours in Rio de Janeiro by walking in the city center. The city of Rio de Janeiro hasn't only beaches, with respect to cultural unmissable attractions, there are the Parisian Theatre (Teatro Municipal) - for example - you can buy a ticket on Sunday morning for less than $1. Into Cinelândia (Teatro Municipal area), you can visit the first public and historical library in Brazil and the National Museum of Fine Arts, sometimes it's possible to see some restorations in progress. Since you are at Cinelândia, you should go to two places close to there: Colombo Bakery (Confeitaria Colombo) and a small and one of the most beautiful libraries that I've ever seen - Real Gabinete Português de Leitura. There are lots of gold inside this place beyond books. In spite of some places in Brazil being unsafe, it's important to know a native to give you some tips, so you can go there. For example, people don't use many jewels in Brazil because we have a large number of poor. It used to be better over 2000s, but with the crisis nowadays I believe the condition became like in the 80-90s again. In order to really find out a country, instead of being in resorts, look for a good hotel and explore the area. However, it's important to say that we don't have a great public transport system unfortunately. It's really crowd, so don't use it if you don't like to see the daily life of most of Brazilians. Other options concerning to that, it's always possible to walk - in most of neighborhoods -, or take a Uber or taxi. I know that many people don't think to go to Brazil due to their afraid because they listen to many terrible things about there. I should say with regard to it that it's not so terrible as people believe. I don't see many differences between Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo and San Francisco, Portland, London and Paris (big cities that I've been to) - for example. It's because there are dangerous area everywhere, but I don't know why people like to go to see the "favelas" or the poverty in Brazil, and of course it's dangerous.
