The first thing to do in Rio de Janeiro is to go to the annual carnival.

They are the result of a long year planning, organizing and practicing. Be careful because the dates change from year to year so it highly advisable to check the schedule for Rio de Janeiro's Carnival dates. To get to any of the carnival locations, you will need travel arrangements so you should compare and select flights from your local area. You can also browse for hotels and apartment rental agencies.

It is one of the largest football/soccer stadiums in the entire world with seating for 100,000 people. Quite impressive, isn’t it?
