Halachic note
Rio de Janeiro follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.
Rio de Janeiro is home to a vibrant Jewish community, primarily in the Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon districts. Visitors will find several synagogues, kosher food options, and a community eruv, making for a welcoming Shabbat experience by the sea.
