Application Tour Carioca turns Rio into an interactive experience of culture and history

Riotur starts chancelling the application Carioca Tour, a digital platform that combines technology, culture and education to offer a differentiated tourist experience. The app allows residents and visitors to know the city in an interactive and immersive way, focusing on historical, cultural, architectural and gastronomic heritage.

The purpose of the Carioca Walk is to connect information and entertainment in a single space. Through a geo-located map, the user has access to virtually all the cultural assets of the Wonderful City, including statues, monuments, churches, historical houses and other relevant tourist sites. Each location has detailed descriptions, unpublished photographs and engaging narratives, which were previously restricted to specialized books, archives or websites. This material allows the user to understand not only the historical value of spaces, but also the social and cultural contexts that made them emblematic.

Special content

In addition to providing information, the app bets on gamification elements, making the exploration of the city a playful and educational experience. It is possible to unlock special content, discover curiosities about illustrious personalities who lived in certain places and participate in challenges that stimulate learning while walking through Rio.

The Carioca Walk also represents an advance in how urban memory is valued. By providing detailed information on iconic buildings, historic houses and little known heritage sites, the platform encourages cultural preservation and brings residents and tourists closer to the city's history in an engaging way.

Available for mobile devices, the app is an affordable tool for those who want to get to know Rio completely, turning sightseeing tours into a true journey of discovery, education and entertainment. With 2026 national holidays falling mostly during the week, the Carioca Walk becomes a great option to enjoy free time and explore the city in a different way.
