rio de janeiro is famous for its party atmosphere and friendly attitude, especially during new year's eve, aka réveillon.

for those who do not wish to spend the night with a huge crowd, there are hundreds of private party options, from clubs, bars, and of course even along the beach.

whether revelers are willing to spend thousands of reals, or non at all, there is something for everyone - there are a number of exclusive bashes hosted at some of the city's most famous landmarks.
