Rio de Janeiro Things to Do Tips by Mistybleu

The Marancan Soccer Stadium is a must when visiting Rio. After Brazil won the World Cup for a record 4 times they go to kept the cup and it is now displayed; it's cool to see, but it's better to take in a game. I wasn't so lucky and had to settle for a tour of the grounds. I came across one of those walk of fames, where all the popular Brazilian players (past and present) are represented, including Pele whose voice reverberates around the stadium giving testimony to Brazil’s soccer greatness. To visit the pitch costs about 10 Reals (and 10BRL equals £1).
