The city has a strong drive towards tourism due to the landscape, rivers, trails and bucolic spots. It has the second largest network of hotels of the state, after the capital Rio de Janeiro. The urban district is visited for its cold climate, the tranquility and romanticism. However, there are also attractions more distant to the center, which are appreciated by those who are interested in [[ecotourism]] and adventure sports like [[rafting]] and [[canoeing]]. The district of Lumiar is one of the most important sites for these sports in the state.

Nova Friburgo is known as the national capital of the undergarment industry, due to the vast production and variety of models, and the local brands begin to compete in the international market. Other major industries include textile mills and metallurgic industries.

Agriculture is important in the area of olericulture and goat raising, as well as in the production of flowers, of which the municipality is the second largest producer in the country, surmounted only by [[Holambra]], in the state of [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]].

The municipality contains part of the [[Central Rio de Janeiro Atlantic Forest Mosaic]] of conservation units, created in 2006.<ref>{{citation |language=pt |page=13 |last1=Costa |last2=Lamas |last3=Fernandes |first1=Cláudia |first2=Ivana |first3=Rosan |publisher=Reserva da Biosfera da Mata Atlântica |title=Planejamento Estratégico do Mosaico Central Fluminense |date=December 2010 |url=http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/images/stories/mosaicos/planejamento-central-fluminense.pdf |access-date=2016-10-02 |archive-date=2016-10-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161007121019/http://www.icmbio.gov.br/portal/images/stories/mosaicos/planejamento-central-fluminense.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
