- VIDEO NOTES - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is one of the one of the wildest and most exotic places I have every experienced, and the nightlife is nothing short of amazing. Monday - Pedra do Sal Our week starts out at the most popular party spot on Monday night in downtown Rio… Tuesday - Gavea On Tuesday, join the international crowd at the Zero Zero club in Gavea for a good vibe and great dance music. Wednesday - Botafogo Botafogo is the place to be in on Wednesday night as there’s a variety of bars to check out, and you can’t miss Karaoke night at Casa de Matriz! Thursday - Baixo Gavea University Students flood the streets of Baixo Gavea on Thursday night to enjoy some drinks and let off a little steam. Friday - Lapa The heart of Rio nightlife is in the downtown area of Lapa. You can pre-game in the streets and listen to all the great live music. From there, head into one of the popular night clubs like Lapa 40 or Rio Scenarium. And if you have the opportunity, you gotta experience a Monobloco concert at Fundição Progresso. Saturday - Samba School Sunday - Beach, Santa Teresa or Urca And If you’re still alive on Sunday, you have a few options… You could go to the beach and relax, re-hydrate with a coconut water, and watch the sunset from Arpoador, maybe you’d prefer heading to Santa Teresa, eat a traditional Feijoada and watch the sunset from Hotel Santa Teresa, or you can go down to my favorite neighborhood in all of Rio, Urca, to drink a few beers...
