Rio Scenarium

Credited with kick-starting the now-legendary music scene of Rio’s Lapa district, the world renowned Rio Scenarium is one of the city’s most popular venues, drawing a varied crowd of both locals and tourists. Celebrated for showcasing some of the best samba, forró and gafieira music, the spacious venue, located just a short stroll from the landmark Lapa Arches, regularly hosts beloved local acts like Lunar Orchestra and the Henrique Band, as well as a range of upcoming bands and genres spanning everything from baião to bossa nova.
The varied soundtrack isn’t the only showstopper – the stylish 3-floor venue is also one of the most photogenic spots in town, known for its eclectic interior design and trove of vintage furnishings. A dazzling collection of 10,000 antiques are on display, so you can dance beneath antique bicycles and colorful parasols, tuck into tapas while sat on original art-deco furniture or sip caipirinhas by cabinets of antique dolls, clocks and radios.
