The nearest beach to the city centre is at Flamengo, and although it’s not the best in Rio you might end up using it more than you think, since the neighbouring bairros, Catete and Glória, are useful and cheap places to stay.
Until the 1950s, Flamengo and Catete were the principal residential zones of Rio’s wealthier middle classes, and although the mantle has now passed to Ipanema and Leblon the bairros still have a pleasantly relaxed appeal.
Busy during the day, the tree-lined streets are alive at night with residents eating in the local restaurants; and though the nightlife is nothing special, it’s tranquil enough to encourage sitting out on the pavement at the bars, beneath the palm trees and apartment buildings.
