What to expect
Marques de Sapucaí Sambadrome
This is the iconic parade avenue where Rio's Samba Schools compete for the title of champion in what is often called the greatest parade on Earth.
Features:
From your reserved seating in the grandstands, you watch the vibrant competition of Samba Schools as they cross the Marquês de Sapucaí runway, with each school performing its themed parade for the judges and audience.
Your ticket includes entry to the Carnaval Parade at Marquês de Sapucaí at the Sambadrome, along with admission to the Sambadrome itself, so you can focus on the performances instead of separate on-site ticket purchases.
An official Carnaval program is provided, helping you follow the order of the parades, learn the names of the Samba Schools, and track key details of the night's competition.
With round-trip transfers included, you travel between your hotel and the Sambadrome without needing to arrange local transport, and return transfers take place at the end of each Samba School parade.
Selected sectors give you some of the best views of the parade, and if you are in sector 9 you also benefit from a bilingual guide and assigned seats, adding context and clarity to what you are seeing.
