"The mosaic sidewalks of..." Rio de Janeiro Things to Do Tip by AndreasK

Rio de Janeiro Things to Do: 1,135 reviews and 1,750 photos

 
 

The mosaic sidewalks of Copacabana Beach were designed by Burle Marx, Brazil's most famous landscape planner. White, black and red stones are arranged in bold designs. The center aisle is more than a place for you to rest between the busy car lanes. At weekends evenings there is a popular handcrafts fair in the Posto 5 area. Some aisles have gas stations that remain open around the clock.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
