Certainly! But we do have some exceptions. Samba schools prepare all year round for the big carnival parade and don't want secrets and preparations to be revealed ahead of time, so we will always guide visitors where it will be possible to take pictures. In some spaces, you will only be allowed to photograph with your eyes to keep that memory forever in your memory. This makes it special, as it will be part of a group of few people who had the opportunity to see a little piece of the next carnival before the general public.

Try! It is free for buses and vans only. For private cars, there is a parking lot at Rua Rivadávia Corrêa, nº 60, for R$20.00 per day (Note: Parking is not under our control and we are not responsible for its hours and/or operating policy).

Certainly! Please, to help you in the best way, contact us and we will explain exactly how to get there. We can also track your commute if you want to share your location with our team. This way, we can help you better if you have doubts along the way.

We will always make an effort to welcome you at the best possible time for you. However, sometimes our schedule is very full and, unfortunately, we will not be able to receive the group with a delay of more than 30 minutes. Please always try not to be late. If something unexpected happens, please let us know in advance.

We will always make an effort to welcome you at the best possible time for you. However, sometimes our schedule is already very full and, unfortunately, we will not be able to receive you late. But do not worry! Even if you arrive late, just contact us and we will allocate you with the group en route. Please, always try not to be late and, in case something unforeseen happens, we ask that you let us know in advance.

You will always see people working or the fruits of that work, which are the floats and costumes. Carnival activities run all year round, although the big party only happens at a specific time. Depending on the phase of the carnival production, the barracão will be busier or calmer, but the Carnaval Experience tour of the Cidade do Samba, in the production area of the Rio carnival, will always be full of surprises.

Cidade do Samba is a complex where the barracks of all the special group samba schools in Rio de Janeiro are located. However, our tour of the carnival production area takes place exclusively inside the Academicos do Grande Rio samba school shed, where we have prepared a magical and surprising tour for you. But don't worry, our guides know everything about Carnaval, and if you have any questions about other samba schools, just ask.

School rehearsals do not take place in Cidade do Samba, but on the courts. It is unlikely to follow a rehearsal during the visit, but it may happen to some school to perform a rehearsal in Cidade do Samba and, thus, you will be surprised.

It has YES, but not in all areas. In the carnival production area, we don't have air conditioning, just fans, but in the exhibition rooms, dressing room and bar, we do. In addition to cold water and a delicious caipirinha to offer you, of course!

Try! Just check the availability of the tours.

Try! Almost in front of Cidade do Samba, is located the Rio Star, which is the Ferris wheel of Rio de Janeiro. Another super cool and close tourist opportunity is AquaRio, which is the largest marine aquarium in South America. Nearby, there is also the Museum of Tomorrow and Porto Maravilha. Both are in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro. A VLT ride (Light Rail Vehicle) takes you from this region to other historical points in the center of our city. They are great options for sightseeing in Rio de Janeiro.
