Another “hidden” place that locals hangout in Rio. The atmosphere is great as you drink in the main square. Lots of bars around it, if you want to sit in a place or restaurant and have some drinks too. Good option to start off your afternoon, deciding where to go at night. At the same time that´s a good program for singles, it´s also a nice place for couples to relax.
Sometimes there´s gonna be a samba group in the middle of the square, providing the music, while you drink and chat. Street sellers also put their stands for you to get a taste of typical weekend afternoon hangouts, done by the cariocas.
