ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Lapa is one of Rio de Janeiro’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods, with origins dating back to the 18th century. The name derives from “Lapa dos Mercados,” referencing the old trade markets that once energized the area. Originally part of the colonial center, Lapa evolved in the 19th century into a lively bohemian district, with the construction of the Lapa Arches (1756, Roman-inspired aqueduct) connecting to Largo da Lapa, a hub for samba and carnival.

In the 1920s and 1930s, Lapa became the birthplace of samba and the carioca spirit, frequented by famous composers like Noel Rosa and Cartola. Today, it is recognized as a UNESCO cultural heritage site, known for its nightlife, illuminated arches, and the Selarón Steps (designed by Jorge Selarón in 1990, featuring tiles from over 20 countries). Your address on Rua Joaquim Silva places you at the heart of this energy: close to the Arches (200m), the Steps (300m), and the Glória Fair (500m)—ideal for a rich, cultural experience.

Currently, Lapa balances bohemian flair with sophistication. Streets such as Joaquim Silva offer historical charm, lined with bars and art galleries. The neighborhood comes alive at night with a variety of venues, from traditional taverns to live music houses. Samba is present day and night, attracting visitors and locals for genuine cultural experiences.

CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT

The Lapa Arches (200m) host free carnival events. The Selarón Steps (300m) provide a vibrant open-air gallery, perfect for artistic photography. Circo Voador (Rua dos Arcos, 17) is renowned for rock and MPB concerts. On Sundays, the Glória Fair (500m) brings together art, cuisine, and live music.
