What the numbers say
Rio de Janeiro accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on August 2, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.
That places Rio de Janeiro 1 of 3 among South America, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.
The most recent entries are Solar, Sítio Cascata Dois Irmãos, São Sebastião. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

That is 3 place types across 24 listings for Rio de Janeiro. Museums are the largest group at 12, attraction the smallest at 1 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is. One label appears exactly once — attraction (Sítio Cascata Dois Irmãos).
The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 20 distinct localities, and they cluster: Alameda das Sapucaias holds 3 (Cápsula do Tempo (2022–2072) and Cápsula do Tempo (1972–2022) among them) and Rua Conde de Bonfim holds 3 (Rádio-Ginastas and Thomas Delfino dos Santos among them), while 18 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Rio de Janeiro keeps its notable ground.
