Lapa, Rio de Janeiro: 5 attractions to visit during the day

[@FirstQube]

Awesome! I was lucky enough for others who signed up for this tour did not show-up. So I had a personal guide. If you are in front of the Cathedral, you have an awesome view of the exterior on the reflection of the buildings behind you.

[@tripsterpanda]

That is true! I ended up doing it by myself, but I reckon with a guide it would have been even better :)

Preciso voltar a Lapa, sou carioca, para conhecer a escadaria e a biblioteca!😮. Muito boas dicas, o Rio realmente esconde muitas preciosidades!

[@tripsterpanda]

A escadaria é relativamente “nova”, ele começou a renovar em 1990, mas acho que só nos anos 2010 que começou a ficar famosa. A biblioteca é linda, daqueles pontos escondidos até dos cariocas! Vale muito a pena visitar!

The lights at night look really good. :)

[@tripsterpanda]

Yes, it looks really nice, I agree!

I just left Rio today and wished I had seen this because I missed the library on my walk around the Lapa/ Santa Teresa areas...good video tho

[@tripsterpanda]

I hope you enjoyed Rio even without the library, though! Maybe next time you are in town :)

Hi Anna, nice job! Can you tell me please,where i buy a SIM card for data in Rio? Airport is possible? Thanx✌️

[@tripsterpanda]

Hi! Thank you! I don’t remember now if there are sim card shops in the airport, but if there are, they will be: Vivo, Claro, and Tim. You can buy in any of them (you will find them in malls as well). Or at any newspaper stands throughout the city. You will need the attendant’s help to register it, as they usually ask for a CPF number (Brazilian Tax Payer number) to enable it. My preferred brand is Vivo, but any of those three should work.

[@tripsterpanda]

Yes :)

@@tripsterpanda ah sim..obrigado ! ir na Escadaria Selarón no Sabado é perigoso ? a lapa fica deserta as ruas ?

[@ExplorecomBreak]

@@tripsterpanda ou melhor ir dia de semana na Escadaria Selarón ?

[@tripsterpanda]

Fica lotado aos sábados nas proximidades da escadaria! Não é perigoso, não. Tem bastante gente pelas ruas e policiamento. Só evita ir andando pelas ruazinhas laterais e na direção do bairro do Estácio. Muita gente sobe (ou desce) de Santa Teresa pela escadaria tbm. Dia de semana acho que fica até mais vazio, então melhor de aproveitar e tirar boas fotos. Só ficar esperto/a que deve ser tranquilo :)
