How long does it take to walk from Botafogo to Copacabana? |
Travel Info And do you have any useful info on Carnivale? I am going in 2008. Thanks! Travel Tips There are 2 tunnels, they both have pedestrian walkways and both tunnels are short, but it麓s a bit tricky to walk them. Homeless people live there and muggings happen a lot. As far as the distance goes, depends a lot on where you are in Botafogo and where you want to go in Copacabana. Both are large neighborhoods. Bear in mind that Copacabana is not nice, the beach, even tough beautiful is not nice either. Ipanema and Leblon are much nicer areas to go to the beach, shop, eat, etc... and they are also close by. The subway, which is clean and safe in Rio has stations in both Botafogo and Copacabana, its fast and reliable. As far as Carnival goes, the parade is the top attraction of course. The Carnival balls once were nice parties, nowadays its just very slimy and low. Make sure you get tickets for the Carnival parade in a nice section, around the middle of the avenue, sector 9 if I think. Also get a "Cadeira de Pista" or if you are comming with a group get a "Frisa" (holds 5 or 6 people). These are safe areas, very close, with waiter service, restrooms etc. You don麓t want to be stuck up in the "Arquibancadas", you can see well, but it麓s very unconfortable. enjoy! |
