The best way to tackle the historical city centre is to take a walking tour.
You will learn more about Rio and how the city developed. The historical centre also has fascinating buildings, museums, churches, statutes.
It is also useful to have a guide as sadly the extensive poverty is visible in the city centre as well as elsewhere in Rio.

Rio de Janeiro is the worst city I have ever visited. I’ve visited plenty of 3rd world cities but this tops the lot.
Traffic from hell, trash and graffiti everywhere. Lawless chaos. It is not inviting of tourists with virtually no tourist information and no parking near the major attractions.
It really is a city where both humanitarians and environmentalists unite in their despair.
If you do go, for God’s sake don’t hire a car. We spent 3 days visiting Rio, 16hours of that was spent in traffic jams. We didn’t manage to get to a beach (no parking), we were unable to navigate the slip roads of 5 lanes of traffic to visit the stadium, and the hop on hop off bus doesn’t allow you to hop on nor off.
Go to Santiago instead.

We went walking around the historic centre in the week before carnival, so it was quite crowded and hot. But the overwhelming impression was that the centre is really dirty, with garbage in the streets. On top of this the historic buildings were mostly derelict upper floors over fleapit junk shops. Very disappointing that the city doesn't seem to care about looking after its buildings - really looks like a third world country.

If you only do one thing in Rio you must do the cable car which is one of the smoothest climbs and so easy
You really feel you are on top of the world and are even higher than the aeroplanes that fly by readying themselves to land
The views are amazing and unforgettable trust me you won’t be disappointed

I love Rio. The historic city is so interesting with an awful history with the slave trade it has just started to embrace.
The buildings are beautiful and you can see the historic port area compared to where the land has been reclaimed in the last few years.
Unesco world heritage site is lovely and has lots of interpretation in multiple languages.
Take time to see this while in Rio it's the history and the heart of the whole City
