Maracanã is also scenario for mega-shows every now and then, and artists like Frank Sinatra, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones have already performed there. Next door to it are Maracanãzinho, a smaller bowl with a capacity of 20,000 and the Olympic Stadium Célio de Barros, often used for international competitions.

You are welcome to watch a match if you come during the season. The best way to make sure you get a good seat is making the arrangements through a travel agency or the concierge of your hotel. In addition to well-located seats the package includes round-trip transportation. As the stadium is in a popular area, away from the South Side, you do may prefer not to go on your own.
