You will find several economy and budget alternatives as well as traditional staples like Hotel Gl ria and Novo Mundo. The main difference between Flamengo, Gl ria, Downtown and our favorite neighborhoods is that you will need to take a taxi or the subway to go to the beach. To compensate there is the mammoth Flamengo Park, a sprawling green reclaim with marinas, sports courts, museums, and a landscape design by Brazilian garden guru Burle Marx. There are many good restaurants, especially for lunch. Transportation to other neighborhoods is very easy to find during the day.
Night life is another attraction in the area.
Rio's most traditional samba halls are downtown, and there are rave parties for clubbers and other events you do not want to miss. Hotels in these areas may be a better-priced alternative for high season events like Carnival and New Years. Click on selected properties for details, rates and free reservations .
