Lapa is dotted with numerous 19th-century mansions that look like colorfully crayoned Lisbon buildings. Compared to Brazil’s modern cities, this place feels more like an ancient town from Portugal. Lapa is a hub where history, art, and music blend — known as the Montmartre of Rio (Montmartre being France’s cultural district). The best music venues, including Rio Scenarium and Carioca da Gema, regularly feature top samba artists. Samba is a fusion of African drums and European military marches, and in Lapa, you can enjoy many different styles of samba.
