Arcos da Lapa: The best place to mingle with the locals
  • Tip Rating:
  • Nightlife Spot: Arcos da Lapa

    One of the best places for young people to hang out in Rio is the Lapa neighborhood. At night, the locals gather around Arcos da Lapa aqueduct. There are a lot of bars and clubs in the area, but most people prefer to hang out and drink beer in the cobble-stoned side streets of this neighborhood. Sometimes it is just too hot to be inside, especially when few bars and clubs have air conditioning. You can buy beer or water from street vendors. There are also bars that will allow you to bring your drinks outside.

    I would not advise staying here too late. When the crowd thins out, you should probably hop in a taxi and go back to your hotel. This goes for any place in Rio.

    Directions: Either tell the taxi driver "Arcos da Lapa" or just Lapa.

     Nice page, we covered some similar territory. Dinner at Porcao, game at Maracana and late night at Lapa were highlights for me as well... Unforgettable city, for sure...
