There is a reason why Rio de Janeiro is nicknamed Cidade Maravilhosa. In English, that translates to "Marvellous City" and it truly is marvellous, in every sense of the word. The ongoing Olympics in the Brazilian city has given the world a whole host of medals, winners, stories, tears...but it has also provided some breathtaking views of the city in all its glory.

Here are some of the best ones from the official Olympics Instagram page.
