The Rio Carnival In Brazil Is An Amazing Festival

The Rio Carnival In Brazil Is An Amazing Festival

by Grace Charvin

Last year I spent a whole week in Rio De Janeiro for the Rio Carnival festival. I decided to go as a few of my friends went the year before and they said it was one of the best experiences they have ever had. So last year I decided to bite the bullet and head off come with them.

We all rented a big apartment, and yes it was more expensive as compared to what people might pay in a cheap hotel or hostel, but I think it was well worth the money. Because of the number of people who come to the city for the Rio Carnival celebration I recommend that you find and book your accommodation, whatever type you choose, as early as you possibly can. The general prices for accommodation is way over the top, but I guess you have to expect this when you're at one of the world's biggest festivals.

You will find all levels of accommodation in Rio De Janeiro. The area that our place was in seemed pretty safe. The reception staff were very friendly people and they helped us out whenever we needed suggestions for things to do. I actually found the service in the apartment fantastic, but it was also so cool to hang out with some of my friends that I hadn't spent time with in a long time.

I was fascinated at the Carnival in Rio, the street parties that took place each day were huge and I really loved getting involved. It is amazing, especially when you are among the hundreds of thousands of people who drink and party in the street every day and night for almost a week. The mood was really exciting and every person was out to get the best out of the Rio Carnival. My friends and I were mesmerized by the samba dancing. We went to the Sambadrome one day and I had grandstand tickets and sat in Sector 9, which gave us a great view to listen and see all the samba school songs and dances. I have to say if you go to Rio Carnival then getting tickets to one of the events in the Sambadrome is well worth it. The experience was so much more than I expected.

Rio de Janeiro seemed pretty safe and I never felt insecure in this huge city, although admittedly we seemed to be in a bit of an upmarket area. I also have to say that we didn't really venture too far off the tourist track. The apartment we stayed in was next to a beach and we were always at the beach. We met and chatted to plenty of locals who seemed eager to help us out. We spent many days on Copacobana Beach, were hundreds of girls were virtually naked! There are plenty of high class hotels in Copacabana and Ipanema and at the beaches there was virtually everything you may wish to buy.

I really loved and enjoyed my stay in Rio De Janeiro for the Carnival. I think everyone should really consider getting to this amazing festival held in February or March every year.
