the mureta da urca offers one of the most romantic sun set spots in rio. the mureta (low wall) runs along the shore of the guanabara bay, following the tree lined street, that is home to an array of gastronomic establishments - the many bars and restaurants lend themselves to grab refreshments and snacks to enjoy while sitting on the mureta and taking in the sights, or to have a fully catered sit-down dinner after going for a romantic stroll.
the rustic appeal of this neighborhood makes urca a popular destination for cariocas and visitors. on weekend the mureta is a popular meeting point for groups of young people, giving the area a more vibrant feel, while week nights offer a more tranquil experience.
