In Centro we love to go to Rio’s oldest restaurant Rio Minho at Rua Ouvidor, it's like stepping back 100 years. Sit in the fish bar for a more easy going vibe.

Drinks & Nightlife
A 'local joint' which is low-key and a great spot for pre or post-dinner caipirinha's and beers. It's where the local crowd goes so if you go frequently, you'll be guaranteed to make friends and bump into people a few times!

Up the hills from Lapa, Santa Teresa is the cobbled most charming neighbourhood you cant miss. Stroll around the cobbled street and artisan shops.

A very incognito experience is to go to watch locals play choro (old Brazilian music form) together on a back yard in Urca on Sauturdays 12.30. After take a walk through residential neighbourhood Urca to end of for beer and fish soup at the legendary Bar do Urca while looking out over the water)

Parks & Nature
A must-visit! Stroll through the gardens and get out on Rua Lopez Quintas on the other side. There you have Dona Coisa and a few other nice bountiques. The Jardim Botanico area is a hot spot for good restaurants and bars as well. Have lunch/ dinner at Puro or Jojo's and at night go up the road to the bars on Rua Pacheco Leao. Or to have a typical Brazilian meal/ delicious meat, go to Rubayat, the restaurant where you look out over horse races at the inner city jockey club.
