All the hype about the Olympics makes you want to go and experience it for yourself, right? We know exactly how you feel and we are here to help you. Well the flight tickets to Rio will differ depending on what your starting point is. However, we at News Mobile can definitely be of help from that point onwards.
A hotel room during the opening weekend will set you back $286 on average, according to travel planning and booking site TripAdvisor. For those who haven’t booked their hotels yet, there are still about 50 hotels with availability for this weekend, the site has reported.
For those on a tighter budget, we have just the right accommodation. Like flights, hotel rooms are also substantially cheaper during the second week of the games. If you want just a place to crash, Rio has dozens of hostels. The budget-minded traveler can pick up a bed in a mixed dormitory-style setting at CabanaCopa Hostel for as little as $20 a night the week of Aug. 15.
Airbnb, the “official alternative accommodations” of the 2016 Olympics, is another option. Just days before the opening ceremony, Airbnb still listed rooms for $30 to $50 a night during the second half of the games.
Official tickets are still available through CoSport for around two dozen sports. These include popular events like swimming, gymnastics, volleyball, and soccer. Some of the tickets available are higher-end and can set you back $250 to $400 per event. What more, tickets to the closing ceremony are also still on sale, starting at just over $300.
