at a glance | centro is a historical area in rio de janeiro filled with colonial architecture and landmarks that give a glimpse of how the city was like in the past - this district is also powered by many of the small and big businesses that have their establishments here, so it should come as no surprise to see places like cinelândia and avenida presidente vargas frequented by working locals and curious visitors during weekdays - weekends can be more calm. this zone is near the domestic airport of santos-dumont, adjacent to the lively neighborhood of lapa, and home to active transportation services including but not limited to the metrô and buses - overall a good location offering a variety of accomodations, typically standard/business hotels and motels in the business district, as well as low budget options. | camping | |||
