located toward the east of rio de janeiro on Avenida Presidente Castelo Branco, Maracanã, the stadium can be easily accessed by the metrô - maracanã station is a stop on metrô line 2, which can be boarded in downtown rio or the flamengo and botafogo areas.

on this link we show the maracanã on a wikimapia- the link as we present it is best seen using google chrome, as it might not open at the right coordinates or zoom correctly with other browsers.
