Ipanema beach is definitely better. Copacabana is a bit too touristy and there are so many vendors on the beach - however, the famed Copacabana Palace is located on that beach and it is a great experience this famed luxury hotel also. But the bottom line is that Ipanema is more appealing to most. But then, either way, you'll have FUN - it's Brazil! Norman :)

I stayed in Copacabana but if I went again I would stay in Ipanema. The two locations are really close however so where you end up sleeping isn't such a big deal.

Cheers, Rhianon

Ipanema is the nicer area than Copacabana, more quiet and also at night. You reach Copa easily with one of the busses in 10 minutes. In Ipanema there is one stretch full of gays too.
