The best Rio listings magazine in English. What's on, plus loads of great insider tips from locals. Highly recommended.

Some people are going to groan at the name, but bear with it. If you are young at heart and looking for a variety of fun things to do in Rio, you could do worse than pick up the "Rio for Partiers" guide. It's a little bit like this site - crammed full of tips, and just the thing to turn to if you are wondering "what to do next" in Rio.

It's not the "club 18-30"-ish guide that it seems from the title. I'd recommend at least having a look at it in a bookshop - many of the places in it were things which Cariocas recommended to me anyway.

The biggest football stadium in the world! Try and get to a Flamengo game - their fans are crazy! Excellent football! Great atmosphere! They don't sell beer so the crowds aren't drunk - they behave that way because they are excited!

Everyone in Rio can direct you to Maracana. It is a stop on the Metro.
