Frequently
asked questions
What will the weather be like?
The average temperatures in Rio at the end of April and beginning of May range between 22ºC – 28ºC (71ºF – 82ºF). We recommend bringing a pashmina or shawl to the ceremony in case it is
chillier as the sun sets.
Do I need a visa?
Please see our “Travel” section!
What is the local currency?
The local currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). The US dollar (USD) exchange rate is about 5 to 1, the Euro exchange rate is around 6 to 1, and for the British pound (GBP), it’s about 7 to 1. Most places accept major credit cards, including many street/beach vendors, but not all. We advise carrying some change if you’re planning on making purchases on the beach!
Do I need an adapter for the outlets?
The outlets used in Brazil are type N (voltage 110V/220V), which means your US or EU plugs probably won’t work. We recommend bringing an adapter with you!
