Copacabana
has a kinkier side to it that is not
to be ignored. If you are looking for creative underwear, try the corner of Av. Princesa
Isabel and Av. Copacabana. Next door they
rent formal wear. The best thing is that
nobody will suspect you have a G-string
under than fancy tuxedo... This is a
neighborhood that surely caters to all
tastes. |
There is a
concentration of strip joints and
go-go bars in Lido. They attract a loyal
following of lonely hearts in the
evening. There's usually a window with
suggestive photos of the dancers. As it
is still broad daylight we can stop and
watch without being bothered by the
inevitable PR's at the door insisting
that the prettiest girls in the world are
inside. |

Frank's Bar,
Scotch Bar and Cicciolina are almost
next door to each other on the Lido side
of Av. Princesa Isabel. As you are in the
neighborhood make sure to stop for a bite
at Cervantes, on Rua Barata Ribeiro. This
is where they serve the best sandwiches
in Rio and they're open until 4 a.m. |
This legendary red-light circuit stretches all the way to the
way to street Duvivier. This innocent
looking alley is home to Baccara, that
has been an erotic staple for
decades. Other streets to explore are Rua
Prado Junior, and the Lido Square. More
