a refuge from the constant hustle and bustle of the city, this is a place where fisherman, artists, visitors and locals can walk along the promenade that contours the area or sitting and enjoying a cool beer while admiring the fabulous views of the city. the famed cassino da urca is a cultural gem, and fans of carmem miranda will be delighted to see the place where she started her career. another shining star of this bairro is the morro da urca, a phenomenal multi-functional venue that overlooks the bay and păo de açúcar.
