When is the best time to go to Benfica?

The best time to visit Benfica is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering pleasant weather for exploring. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortably warm temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and sightseeing without the intense humidity or heavy downpours common in other parts of the year. For those planning to combine their visit with events in the wider Rio de Janeiro area, the shoulder months of April and October are also good options.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Benfica hotel for you.

Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

8/10 Good

"Beach view"

Hotel Astoria Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"I liked everything about the hotel,staff cleanliness, location.Maybe a bit more variety of hot food for breakfast and the room I was in could do with a few hooks on the wall to hang your clothes on but not a big problem.Found the front reception staff very helpful,all spoke good English and were pleasant and polite.👍"

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"En terminos generales la estadía estuvo bien, muy buena localizacion. El desayuno a pesar de tener mucha variedad no nos gustó, especialmente el café. Por otra parte el último día decidimos hacer check out temprano para poder desayunar en un restaurante cerca, nos pideron pagar por almacenar las maletas aún haciendo el check in temprano, y el caballero que nos atendió nos dijo sino de estan de acuerdo suban y guardenlas en su cuarto en tono hostil en presencia de dos niños pequeños. La asistencia con los tours muy buena."
