Area guideRio de Janeiro

Copacabana

Copacabana is a second outing, not a walk from Posto 9. Visit Rio and Riotur name Pink Flamingo on Rua Raul Pompéia 102, La Cueva on Rua Miguel Lemos 51, and Tau Bar Club on Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana 1417. Pink Flamingo occupies the old Le Boy door. QG Pub / Mais Q Pub is named on the Riotur LGBTI tour without a street, so it is not mapped. The 31ª Parada uses the Copacabana orla.
