🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is a major coastal city in southeastern Brazil, with a population of roughly 6.7 million. It keeps the America/Sao_Paulo time zone at UTC−3, and since Brazil abolished seasonal daylight saving time in 2019 that offset now remains fixed throughout the year, holding local clocks three hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. The city lies on the Atlantic coast near 22.9°S, 43.2°W, in the Southern Hemisphere. Its scale makes it one of Brazil's two largest urban centres and a principal focus of the country's cultural and economic life.
