A live samba night in Lapa, Rio de Janeiro.
You don’t necessarily need a samba tour to see live the most popular rhythm in Rio de Janeiro!
All you need is up-to-date recommendations and directions on venues that offer live samba concerts night after night, where natives of Rio go, as those recommended in My Rio Travel Guide — the most practical, useful, and updated travel guide to Rio de Janeiro.
With that sort of precious information in your hands, you can set up your very own tour and safely go see one or two samba concerts even on the same night.
There are several authentic samba places in Rio de Janeiro; most of them are in the Lapa area — roughly 20-25 minutes by taxi from Copacabana, Ipanema, Arpoador, Leme or Leblon neighborhoods.
Listening to and seeing live samba where locals sing, dance, and drink Brazilian beers until late night, is the way to go. It is a very vibrant, fun, and friendly environment. Bring along your camera to film and to take great photos of a real samba night. Tourists from all nationalities are welcome!
Don’t miss that opportunity — join Cariocas (natives of Rio) at inexpensive samba places at night, and save your money for day time tours to Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, and other attractions.
