The map
About this Rio de Janeiro map poster
Few cities have a map so shaped by mountains. Rio de Janeiro fills the narrow flat land between steep granite peaks, the Atlantic Ocean and the wide mouth of Guanabara Bay. Neighbourhoods are linked by tunnels and coastal roads, and on the map the streets appear in separate pockets, each one bounded by rock, forest or water.
The Tijuca Forest covers much of the massif in the middle of the city, one of the largest urban forests in the world, with Corcovado and its statue of Christ the Redeemer rising at its edge. Below, the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon sits behind the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon, while Copacabana curves in a long crescent further east.
Rio was the capital of Brazil until 1960, and the historic centre near the bay still carries that legacy in its denser, older street pattern. A Rio de Janeiro map poster brings the whole composition together, with Sugarloaf Mountain at the entrance to the bay and the long Rio–Niterói Bridge crossing the water toward the eastern shore.

Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon
A rounded lagoon enclosed by the city and the mountains, connected to the sea by a narrow channel and circled by a continuous path and road.
Rio–Niterói Bridge
Around thirteen kilometres of road bridge crossing Guanabara Bay, a thin line that ties the city to Niterói and gives the eastern part of the map its structure.

Why Rio de Janeiro
A map that means something
People hang Rio because it looks unlike any other city from above, and because it marks moments: a carnival, a honeymoon, a childhood in the Zona Sul. The mix of dark forest, pale beaches and tightly packed streets makes a poster that feels both graphic and personal.
Change the title, add a date or a neighbourhood as the subtitle, and adjust the coordinates line. Five styles are available, including Noir and Sand. Try a free 900 px preview first, then download the HD files for $9 or order a printed poster.
