Escadaria Selarón
A stairway covered by colorful tiles and the ever-evolving art work of Chilean artist Jorge Selarón.
Arcos da Lapa, Carioca Aqueduct
Colonial structure built in 1750 that brought water from springs to downtown.
Escola de Música da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
A good place to catch free classical music concerts. Stop by during the day for a schedule or check the newspaper for events, as the surrounding neighborhood can be a bit shady at night.
Museu da Chácara do Céu
An art and antique museum with a good collection of works by modern masters. During Carnaval 2006 some of its most famous works of art were stolen while a procession passed by outside.
