Nightlife in Rio de Janeiro can be as diverse as the dozens of neighborhoods and musical rhythms that populate the city. Rio's nightlife is wholly unique and accepting - welcoming into its fold people of all tastes, backgrounds and orientations. It is filled with vibrant music, a spectrum of color, glitter, childishness and sensuality.

Carioca nightlife spans from large clubs playing modern music, to small establishments offering the best of rhythms such as Samba and Bossa Nova, while dozens of theaters entertain visitors and residents alike with plays, readings, ballet, and an ever-changing mix or performing arts.

The world famous districts of Ipanema and Leblon are home to a variety of chique and refined bars, restaurants, and clubs - with live music, pre-recorded, and dj's available at many locations with varied programs throughout the week.   arrow-back     arrow-forward
