LAPA

Lapa is the core nightlife in Rio with more than 30 different concerts every night. What is best, you are staying just 5 minutes away from it, a lot better than if you had stayed by the beach. No matter where you had been during the day, to the beach or to the soccer stadium, you will end up your night at Lapa.
During summer, the bustling streets pack with the most different tribes from all over Rio and the rest of the world. The white arches will be a long standing flash of memory in your mind. Lapa is a live mosaic of music, contacts and fun. It is the best place to meet locals and others.
