Seeing Vasco play and experiencing the electric atmosphere was another of my highlights in Rio. The crowd were buzzing with energy, with 90 minutes of chanting, singing and dancing in the stands. General admission are all standing areas, but you could sit if you really wanted. Get here over an hour before kickoff as there is a street party before every game with grilled meats and beers on sale. You can also buy drinks during the game which are expensive for local prices, but not bad considering that they are in the stadium.

Sambodromo da Marques de Sapucai

Reviewed By RandyRoss - Ridgetown, Canada

Attending Carnival in Rio de Janeiro is a once in a lifetime experience for sure. We booked box seats in the Sambodromo through Holland America. We only saw 3 Samba parades on the Friday night but the experience. It's difficult to tell in words or to show in a photograph the experience of being with 90,000 of your new close friends all joined in celebration. It's the spectacle, yes, but also the music, the dance, the whole environment. WOW! The day after Carnival ends, the planning starts for the next year. Each school comes up with a theme, original songs are written and the show is choreographed floats designed and built, etc. All is done in great secrecy. The costumes are not distributed until two weeks before the competition.
