Many consider it a chaos, but, let’s agree, New Year’s Eve in Rio is the most beautiful thing, isn’t it? If you follow our tips you will have a quiet, fun and safe Eve. If you’re a tourist, staying in a hotel in Rio can be a valid alternative.
New Year’s Eve: Survival Manual
Before the party
White clothes: ok! Sparkling wine: ok! Call the whole galley: ok!
But calm down, that’s not all. Before leaving home it’s important that you do the following things:
- Schedule yourself to go by public transportations, because on New Year’s Eve the streets in the vicinity are closed and only taxis from authorized companies are allowed. See which bus or subway lines are closest to you. In the case of the subway, our tip is to buy the tickets before, because at the moment the queue will be huge!;
- If you are in the central zone of the city and want to avoid future disorders related to locomotion, know that there are hotels in downtown rio de janeiro and hotels lapa rio de janeiro that offer a New Year’s Eve of high quality;
- Choose comfortable clothes and shoes because the walk will be long (avoid jewelry);
- Take a look at the schedule of the shows to choose the ones you want to watch.
- Take only what’s strictly necessary: a document with photo, money … and only that!
During the party
- A good tip to eat are the street stalls, as in the New Year’s Eve restaurants, bars and kiosks are more expensive and often only by reservation;
- Drink water;
- There are several chemical toilets scattered all over the beach;
- Always stay with your group;
- Be careful with your cell phone when taking pictures;
- Jump seven waves.
After the party
- If you need medical attention, there’re hundreds of ambulances scattered all over the beach;
- If you return at dawn, it will be the same scheme of the trip. You will take the subway in the same station where you jumped or, in the case of the bus, the same line in which you came;
- If you come back in the morning, some of the streets will be cleared and the regular taxis will come back (but there are a lot of people wanting a taxi, so you might have to wait a long time);
Ready! Now you can enjoy your New Year’s Eve in Rio safely and without surprises.
