The neighborhood of Botafogo Rio de Janeiro

Today I will tell you about the main places of the Botafogo neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro.

Botafogo is a traditional neighborhood of the wonderful city. Perhaps one of the best known and lively. There are several things you can do there. If you like football, you will find the headquarters of the famous Botafogo Regatta Club. Whether Botafogo is your team or not, it doesn’t matter much, since visiting the club inspires the best of Brazilian football.

there stars trained as Garrincha, Nilton Santos Zagallo. The headquarters are located in a very picturesque and old building that also serves weddings, etc.
On the other side of Lauro Miller Avenue, where the headquarters of Botafogo is located, you will find the boardwalk where the great stars that have passed through the history of the Club are painted. It is very interesting to take a look there. Pride for the team is very high, especially for older fans.

One of the best shopping centers in Rio de Janeiro is also located in Botafogo, near the headquarters of Botafogo. It is called Rio Sul. It is also on Lauro Müller Avenue, very close to the tunnel that connects Botafogo with Copacabana.

Rio Sul is an elite shopping mall in Rio de Janeiro. You will find many elegant shops and great restaurants. retro I recommend the Outback that is located on one of the upper floors of the mall and offers a beautiful view of the Botafogo neighborhood. It is worth going during the repiauer because it is double beer. Just look at your pocket because this mall is a bit expensive.

Bukowski Bar is one more advice that I give you if you want to listen to rock in a really great atmosphere with people with chocolate mentality. It is one of the best known nightclubs in Rio de Janeiro. there you will hear that rock that he played in the 80s. since then until Legião Urbana. The entrance is salty, but worth knowing.

There you will find the bust dedicated to Corsa, who was a very authentic and entertaining poet. The place inspires Bukowski’s poetry. It is also a great place to smoke hookah and drink a tequila at night.

The Ruy Barbosa house-museum is half an hour’s walk from Bukowski. It is located on Rua São Clemente, which is parallel to Voluntários da Pátria, next to the subway. Rui Barbosa’s house has a wonderful backyard, it is almost the small park very ornate and wooded. Many who work and live there in the region like to go to meditate.

I will read a book. And in addition, you will find the Museum itself dedicated to the famous jurist, which is basically a heritage of our culture. Rui Barbosa is considered by many most important jurists in our republican and also imperial history. The museum dates back to the time he lived. This is the work environment. Late 19th and early 20th century.

A curious fact about Barbosa is that he was a monarchist at the time of the empire, then defended the republican revolutionary movement and then repented. That is why Dom Pedro Segundo did not have him as an enemy. Always appreciated for its intellectual quality.

A place to visit in Botafogo is the top floor of Botafogo Praia Shopping, which is located in Botafogo Cove. In addition to having several restaurants in a very large cinema, there you will find a panoramic view of Botafogo Cove. It is one of the few, if not the only ones, views of this type open to the general public. because most of the buildings are residential or commercial, housing offices, etc. Jaú Shopping Shopping is free.

It is perfect to take that classic photo of Rio with the Sugar Loaf in the background and the boats anchored in the Cove. and as there is a food court there you can enjoy and eat something. I eat the English potato that is always a good option.
