Posts: 6457Concert tickets
The next time I'm in Rio, I think I might want to check out a concert. Can anybody recommend a good site where I can go online and see who's going to be playing around town before I get down there, and that will allow me to purchase and download my ticket online? It doesn't matter to me if the site is in English or Portuguese. I'll be able to navigate my way around either way. What I'm looking for is something like this site for events in Mexico: http://www.dondehayferia.com/. I don't need anything that covers the whole country like the Mexican site does since I'm really primarily interested in Rio. If anybody has any good sites you can refer me to, that would be greatly appreciated.

Posts: 142Traveling by taxi
Recommend the free app for "EASY TAXI" in Rio to hail cabs. Works very well especially if you are traveling in Barra / Recreio / Jacarepagua areas where it is difficult to get cabs on the street.

But 1 trip I will be taking to Rio this year I will have 2 companions with me and all 3 of us will have big luggage. Does anyone think I would be able to get a taxi or a van that could take all 3 of us into Zona Sul in the same vehicle. I never really noticed before because I'm alone but maybe some of you guys have come across this?

There outside is a booth for the official airport cabs that takes credit cards and debit cards. As I had no cash on me except dollars and didn't want to haul all my stuff up to the ATMs, I decided to risk it.
To my great surprise, charge with 1 extra bag (hate when they do that) was BRL 70 to Copa. I was surprised because normally a metered taxi these days, especially on weekends when it is Bandeira 02, are going to be are $66 or so.
Paid with debit card, got my receipt, walked outside and handed receipt to taxi, straight to copa with no worry about him fucking about on the route to try to overcharge me.
Pleasant surprise really.

Posts: 218Great time to be in Brasil
Thinking back to 2005-2007, prices in Centro were about are $80 for 1 hour, but that was mostly at 2. 2 Real per dollar. So, it was about $36.36 per hour.
Today at are $120 per hour and exchange at 3. 15, the current price is about $38.00.
Wow, inflation of $2. 64 in 8-10 years, that is a great deal for anybody visiting Rio these days. It's still priced just like the good ol' days.
The only ones taking it in the ass both literally and figuratively are the girls. Their percentage of the $R120 is worth about half, or less of what they could buy with it in 2005.
Enjoy the good ol' days as they are here now.
Many places in the world $38 would not include a set of teeth for a lovely BBBJ!
Have fun. Just food for thought.
Ibiza.

They wanted to go back to Centaurus, there was some promotion going on. I go to tell the cab driver who's always at MP, my boys look at me and say "it's close enough to walk!" .

Hi Kc,
If you decide to do both, check out Gol airlines. Roundtrip from both domestic airports in Rio and S. P. Go for a low $37.00 one way fee depending on the time you leave.
