RJ neighbourhoods are grouped into 4 main areas: north zone (forest & residential), centre (financial and cultural centre), south zone (unmissable but the most turistic), and west zone (beaches for days & residential).
If you only have a few days in Rio, at least one must be spent at the Centro exploring the historical buildings of Cinelândia, followed by tea at Confeitaria Colombo plus a browse around the shops at Saara, and an end of the day at Museu do Amanhã. Stay in the Zona Sul for the rest of your trip, except maybe for a daytrip to a farther area of your choice (trails, beach towns, historical mountain towns,…).
