What Réveillon 2027 means
The celebration to ring in 2027 takes place on the night of December 31, 2026 and the early hours of January 1, 2027. This matters when booking flights and accommodation: search for dates in December 2026, even though the event is advertised as Réveillon 2027.
Copacabana and other options
Copacabana Beach is the best-known setting for New Year's Eve in Rio. If you want to experience the celebration on the sand, think about which area you'll enter from, where you'll meet up with your group and how you'll get back. You can also opt for a dinner or a ticketed celebration in another neighborhood; compare location, conditions and route before paying. The program of stages, performers, fireworks and other sites around the city should be checked once Riotur publishes it.
Where it makes sense to stay
Staying within walking distance of your chosen spot makes the trip back easier, although it doesn't replace checking access points and road closures. If you're staying far from Copacabana, identify a transportation route there and back and a meeting point outside the most crowded areas. Check the minimum-stay and cancellation policies before confirming.
How to plan getting there and back
Vehicle access and transportation services may change that night. Check MetrôRio's special operating plan and the city's notices a few days before; don't assume a taxi or Uber will drop you off or pick you up at the door. Save an offline map and agree on a backup plan in case you lose signal.
What to have ready before heading out
Eat and hydrate before you go, bring only the essentials and protect your phone and documents. Set a precise meeting point, check the forecast and look up any access or item restrictions once they're published. See the Copacabana plan →.
