Maracanã Stadium
Rio’s Maracanã Stadium is the biggest of its kind in the world. Built for the 1950 World Cup, it was conceived as a monument to demonstrate Brazil’s arrival as a nation to the rest of the world; today, the Maracanã stands as the country’s major statement of footballing prowess. Attending a game here is one of the most extraordinary experiences Rio has to offer, even if you don’t like football.
