I would say this place was excellent was 5 min walk to the centre, or you could take underground or bus to Copacabana beach. lots of food places and beach was really good. Wasn't as busy as Copacabana but still really good.
It has some really nice parks, and really nice views, but any where you walk smells like pee. Near the beach it is very nice, two blocks back it is not so pretty, it feels like very local. Not many places to go out at...More

beautiful walks along the sea or through the reclaimed land which forms the park . take a massage in the shade, hire a bicycle and use the cycle track, jog , or simply stroll. Don´t think of swimming however as the water is too polluted....More
A far cry from the popular, though god knows why, Copacabana and Ipanema districts. I live in Flamengo and appreciate it's history, it's mix of old and new, though thankfully there is a lot more old than new. Few tourists visit Flamengo, it is not...More
