WHAT
TO TAKE TO THE CARNIVAL PARADE AT “SAMBODROMO”
At most two 500ml plastic containers with beverages
and two items of food, such as fruit and/or sandwich.
Objects made of polystyrene, bottles, glasses, firecrackers
and fireworks are strictly forbidden. A discardable
raincoat should be considered for the eventuality of
a summer shower. Umbrellas are not a good idea, as they
can easily get in the way of other people’s view
of the parade. At the Sambódromo there are shops
and fast food kiosks in all sectors. |
