Better known as Bar do Gomes for an old waiter, this place has been serving cold beer and artisanal cachaças for more than a hundred years. Just do like the locals: grab a beer and choose a spot in the sidewalk to enjoy it.

Rio Scenarium is the place to go for a samba night. From Tuesdays to Sundays they offer two nightly concerts, always figuring top performers. The house itself is another attraction: it used to be an antiques store and much of the collection was kept - just check the wall full of old clocks in the second floor.
On weekends the lines can get quite long, so arrive early.

The City of Pedro, named after our first emperor, has many attractions: the Imperial Museum, formely the summer palace, offers a view into the royal family of the past. Also worth visiting are the Bohemia Brewery and the well preserved historical center. The cool weather is also an attraction in itself - when the heat in Rio is unbearable, do like the emperors did and head to the mountains!

A small island in the middle of Guanabara bay, Paquetá seems to have been lost in time. Part of this this feeling comes from an absence of cars in the island. Reserve a day for strolling it's quiet streets and check the local restaurants. Access is through ferryboats from Praça XV station, every hour or so.
