Rio de Janeiro street is voted one of the “coolest” in the world

Rua Arnaldo Quintela, located in the Botafogo neighborhood, south of Rio de Janeiro, was voted the eighth most beautiful in the world, according to a ranking drawn up by “Time Out” magazine.

The Rio neighborhood is already famous for its bars and pubs, ideal for meeting friends. The region offers “more than 30 places to eat and drink,” according to the magazine.

The magazine highlighted several nearby locations, including those on nearby streets. They even suggest starting with a slice of pizza at the “Ferro e Farinha” restaurant.

For drinking, the offer ranges from traditional bars, such as “Xepa” and “Treme-Treme”, to the more modern ones, “Calma”.

For those who prefer something more sophisticated, they recommend any cocktail from the “Quartinho Bar”.

One piece of advice given by the magazine was to do the so-called “bar crawl” (something like “cheap”, i.e. go through several bars), like enjoying a samba at “Mãe Joana” or a rock at “Culto”, and then a Hip Hop at “Macuna”.

The election wasn’t just about food, bars, culture and nightlife. The list also took into account the sense of community and how people interact in this space.

The award recognizes the atmosphere, spirit and personality of Rio de Janeiro and Rio de Janeiro as a heritage.

One of the most famous places in Botafogo is Enseada de Botafogo, a beautiful crescent-shaped bay that is home to the beach, Sugarloaf Mountain and Morro da Urca.

The history of Botafogo is intertwined with the founding of the city itself. It was in Morro Cara de Cão, where the São João Fortress is located today, that Portuguese colonization began.
