Giro 0800 is a blog created by Andre Borges, a historian and researcher, to raise awareness about the little inexpensive wonders that take place across the city every week -  it provides high quality information about free events, with a sprinkling of history on the side.

Agenda Cultural RJ (Cultural Agenda Rio de Janeiro) provides information on all the key cultural events taking place in Rio and, as a delightful extra, almost all of them are free -  Dance, theatre, musical performances, comedy, and children's shows all get a look in, so that no artistic penchant is left unsatisfied.
