one of the neighborhoods that borders the large and extensive zona sul park called aterro do flamengo is glória - also home to marina da glória, a harbor that also serves as an event venue, the monument of mortos da segunda guerra mundial, the museum of modern art, as well as serving as one of the main entrances to the bohemian neighborhood of santa teresa.

moreover the neighborhood is an optimal location during carnival seeing as many popular blocos, or street parties, are held here - glória is considered the last district of the southern zone before entering centro, ideal for those wanting to walk around the city center to places including but not limited to cinelândia and lapa.
