If You Only Go to One Place

Rio Scenarium

If you only have one night in Rio, make it this one. It’s the city’s most spectacular live music venue, a multi-floor antique-filled fever dream in Lapa that perfectly bottles the spirit of a Carioca night out. Expect live samba and MPB in a setting that feels like a film set, drawing a brilliant mix of locals and travellers who all dress up a little. It’s the safest, most dazzling introduction to the city’s nightlife for a newcomer.
