Car Rental in Rio De Janeiro

It is impossible to imagine an acquaintance with the hometown of Paolo Coelho without visiting one of its symbols – the Maracanã stadium. At some point in time, it was noted as the largest stadium in the world. Today, this place is rightfully occupied by the “May Day Stadium” in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The stadium can take up to 76,000 people at a time. Near the building there is a museum among whose exhibits you will find personal belongings of great football players. A very colorful place can be found in the east of the district of Santa Teresa. This is about Escadaria Selarón – the staircase decorated with different pieces of tile, and all this is thanks to the efforts of one person – Jorge Célaron. Later, tourists joined in on his “movement”, when they began to bring tiles with the image of their native country. This is a place of gathering of creative youth.

Rio is called a city of contrasts for good reason – slums can be located next to a rich area. So it happened with the Favela Santa Marta, where the rich Botafogo quarter and the Copacabana beach are located close to each other. And, if you walk along the slums, pictures of Michael Jackson’s cult music video “They don’t care about us” inevitably comes to mind. This is a very spectacular place. However, like in all areas of Rio, it is not advisable to stay here late, and it is also definitely not worth wandering alone about it. But generally speaking, it is thanks to Michael Jackson and his music video filming here that the region of Favola (the so-called Brazilian slums) is now well-maintained, and is not unnecessarily excessively unsafe. It is no wonder that you can find a monument to the pop king here.
