The absolute main highlight of my tour in Rio. A true visual and audio spectacle. Whenever I envisioned Brazil and the carnival I imagined thousands of people doing the samba with colorful outfits on massive themed floats and it was exactly that and more! We stayed here for 6 hours. Each school performs on the Sambadrome runway for 1 hour. We were seated in Section 5 with a really great view. If u can, go down to the railing so you're a bit closer to the action. I have never seen so many people in one location before in my entire life. The stadiums energy is electrifying! Our tour guide also said that they can prepare up to an entire year for this event and it definitely shows. There is so much creativity in the whole experience, it's truly mind blowing. An absolute must see if you're in Brazil during carnival season, it can't be missed!

The biggest and best carnival in the world. And they go all out! The costumes and the floats were made with such experience and passion. Very colourful with great music vibe, this is a MUST for anyone visiting Brasil or a world traveller. And the people of Rio come all out to party and are such great hosts. It's a contagious heady feeling you must experience. Unmatchable.

Stunning performance by all Samba Schools. Watched the Champions parade in 2020 and was totally worth it.

Simply wonderful. It's a unique event on this planet. I've been there twice so far, both in the (extremely expensive) cabins (camarote). If there will be a third time I want to try the grandstand, far less expensive and crowded, and maybe even with a better view...

Once a year, the Sambadrom is the epicenter for thousands of carnival enthusiasts. For several days, Samba schools orchestrate through the filled stadium and delight up to 70,000 visitors. The many colors, the hues and the singing not only bring the participants of the schools into ecstasy, the audience in the stands also becomes part of the spectacle.

A wonderful and magical experience, where magic merges with tradition and Brazilian folklore. An experience that will be tattooed in the hearts of all attendees.

A visual feast, of course it's a must do and one I can tick of the bucket list. But here are a few things I wish I knew before I came. You can take 2x 500ml bottles in with you and 2 items of food each. You buy tokens first and then wait in the queue to collect your drink (with your token) so don't be fooled by a shorter line. The tourists section, number 9, is exactly that, but there aren't any attendants that could speak english (well one that I got directed to down the way a bit because they didn't understand what I meant by 'toilet'). Taxi rank is nearby, again speak to the people attending the 'line' and they will give you a ticket with the area of Rio you want to go to and the price, you hand this to the taxi man and tell him where you want to go. For comfort take something soft to sit on and prepare to have a wet bum if it has rained at all recently as water pools on the seats. You can buy drinks (cans) and ice cream from men but it is relatively expensive for Rio. Toilets at the bottom of section 9 seemed to be not for section 9, they were down the numbered seating a little and were full of spiders, pretty dirty and take some toilet paper. Because there had been rain, there were boards to get in so not great if you have any mobility issues. These are just practical points, I had an amazing time and got completely sucked into the whirl wind atmosphere. Dancing, costumes and music leaves nothing to be desired. We had seats R 54 in section 9, we were sat in the middle, close to the back, we still had a great view, and nothing to stop you heading down to the front if you wanted to, despite allocated seating. A must see.

Hit Carnaval 2020 on both sides : watching the desfile Sunday night, and participating in the desfile on Monday night, it was an absolute blast both nights. We took numbered seats in zone 12, which is right up next to the piste, at the end of the lane. I was worried that we would not have a good view as we were not up in the bleachers, but the seats were fantastic. The sheer energy experienced in the Sambódromo during Carnaval is not to be missed!
