Rio de Janeiro is both the name of a state and a city in southeastern Brazil. The city is famous for the hotel-lined tourist beaches Copacabana and Ipanema, and for the giant statue of Christ at Corcovado. Rio de Janeiro was the Brazil's capital up to 1960, when the government was transferred to Brasilia. Actually it is the second bigger city in that country. The biggest is Sao Paulo.
