After the capital and Búzios, Niterói is the third-largest city in the state of Rio de Janeiro that attracts the most tourists. The city draws people in due to its cultural and historical centers and its beautiful seaside beaches, such as Itacoatiara, Itaipu, Camboinhas, and Piratininga. At the same time, the city's hotel network is very limited. This is because most tourists come to Niterói to extend their trip to Rio, meaning they only stay in the city for one or two days.
