The city observes Brasília Time (BRT, UTC-3) and has not used daylight saving time since Brazil permanently abolished it in 2019. Founded by the Portuguese in 1565, Rio served as the capital of colonial Brazil, of the Portuguese Empire, and of independent Brazil until Brasília took over in 1960. Set between Guanabara Bay and forested mountains, the city is famous for the Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana beach, and its Carnival, and its cultural landscape is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
