A grey winter Monday: Climatempo calls 18–21°C with a chance of rain, so plan the city indoors-first and save the sand for Thursday.
The headline consolation for a wounded football nation is free world-class art — the biggest-ever Vik Muniz retrospective at CCBB in Centro, open today 9am–8pm at no charge — followed by Rio’s great Monday ritual, the samba at Pedra do Sal.
Markets gave you a gentle start to the week: the Ibovespa closed Friday up 0.74% at 174,070 points and the dollar slipped 0.76% to R$5.168.
In one line: coffee in Botafogo, Muniz and Colombo in Centro, Portugal–Spain at 4pm, samba on the old salt stone by 7pm.
