Samba School Rehearsals Frommer's Recommended

Transportation Mangueira, Salgueiro, Vila Isabel, and Rocinha are easy to get to by taxi from the Zona Sul and are used to receiving foreign visitors

Frommer's Review

If you are in Rio in the period from September up to Carnaval, you can attend a samba school rehearsal to get a feel for the event and the rhythms. Although located in the poorer neighborhoods away from the Zona Sul, a number of the quadras (where the rehearsals are held) are very accessible and just a short taxi ride away. Mangueira, Salgueiro, Vila Isabel, and Rocinha are easy to get to by taxi from the Zona Sul and are used to receiving foreign visitors.
