If you are coming to Rio for the first time, you'll probably find interesting taking a look at the flyers distributed at the hotels, full of touristic places to go. But don't. Some of the places yes, are worth seeing, but maybe only 10% of them.

Lapa was a life changing experience for me. Without a native hosting me, I would´ve missed out on this place and I did the first time I was here.

Comming to Rio for the first, we went into the usual tourists traps, copacabana and Ipanema - also great, but when you go to Lapa in Central Rio , you experience the real Rio. Lots of bar and music everywhere. Start out at the famous bridge let the rhytms take you .....we did not experience any problems in Lapa, but in case - keep the Rolex watch at the hotel and take 50-100 RS with you - this will be enough for the whole night.....so, just go for it....Jorn, Denmark

A lot of very cool bars and nightclubs to visit and listen to some typical brazilian music. Must visit "Carioca da Gema" and listen to some "Chourinho" or "Samba". Don´t recomend walking around at night... and during the day evan.

Arcos da Lapa is interesting to see from a historical point of view. However, be careful to do during the day as it is in a danagerous part of town.
