Rio de Janeiro — A crisp winter sun claims the sky today with low rain odds, making it the sort of Saturday where the city pulls you outdoors.

The day’s centrepiece is the acclaimed ‘Vik Muniz — A Olho Nu’ retrospective at CCBB, recently extended through October, paired with free samba circles in Lapa tonight.

Business professionals can digest a week where Brazilian stocks rallied sharply despite a B3 trading outage, with full closing figures on the board (Business & Markets / WEEK IN FIGURES).

This is a day for unhurried Centro wandering, an afternoon coffee in a Praça Mauá coworking spot, and a night given over to street-corner rhythms.
