alternatively, for something cultured, there is the teatro municipal, with a capacity of 350 seats and 270 standing - many performances take place throughout the year including dance, plays and recitals.

the theatre is a new building having been completed in 1997, and boasts an italian style of architecture with a colonial style roof - with many bars to choose from cabo frio is a fine place to enjoy a drink or two during the evening.

finding a place to stay in cabo frio is by no means difficult but during holidays hostels and hotels can become very busy and crowded, especially from december to february.
