Open Front Boxes – Best Seats in the entire venue!  

Located on the runaway level, also known as Frisas, the Open Front Boxes consist of 2.4 meters by 1.7 meters, fitting 6 chairs in each box. Divided into 4 rows, Row A is the closest to the Parade, while Rows B, C, and D are located right behind at more elevated levels.
These are definitely the best-Assigned seats in the entire Parade, where you will be able to see little details of the floaters, choreographies, and participants plus feel the intensity of the Drummers like nowhere else in the Sambadrome.
Since you will be at the Parade Ground Level, without a panoramic view, you will see the same exact parade, no matter what Sector you pick, with no need to Arrive Early at all!

Rio Carnival Tickets – 2025 Sambadrome Parades
.

The World-Famous Rio Carnival Parade will definitely be the Highlight of your Rio Carnival Vacation!
.
.
The Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí (Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro or Sambódromo in Portuguese) or simply Sambadrome is a purpose-built parade area in downtown Rio de Janeiro, where samba schools parade competitively each year during the Carnival. The Venue gathers 80 thousand Brazilians and foreign tourists each night of the Special Group Carnival Parade (Sunday and Monday) and during the Champions Parade as well. It was built in 1984 and went through a huge renovation in 2012 because of the Olympics.
.
.
The Parade is a fierce competition among local Samba Schools and started officially in 1932, although the Samba Schools started parading in the 1920s without competing.
.
.
The Carnival Parade takes place on 4 Days of Carnival. Friday and Saturday (Access Group – Second Division) Parades Samba School Winner will compete the following year in the Special Group (Sunday or Monday), and the Samba School from the Special Group that takes the last position will get downgraded to the Access Group for the following year too.
.
.
On Ash Wednesday (the last day of Carnival) we finally have the results and the Top 6 Samba Groups will parade again the following Saturday on the so-called Champions/Winners Parade.
.
.
DoBrazilRight sells Rio Carnival Tickets for all 5 Nights of the Parade.
.
.
Since there are over 600 Street Parties spread all over the city during the 5-Day Carnival Holiday until the following weekend (Champions Parade), DoBrazilRight selected the best parties on this link. Please click here for the Street Parties Schedule.
.
.
At the end of Carnival, all Samba Schools start preparing for next year´s carnival. It´s a full year of hard work and they practice their routine several months in advance since they are judged on many aspects of their performance in order to win the prestigious championship and the prize of 2 million Brazilian Reais offered by the City of Rio de Janeiro.kets

Fantastic Carnaval/Rio de Janeiro vacation We had a fantastic time in Rio for Carnaval. We worked with Marcelo who crafted the perfect itinerary for our 5 night stay. Everything from flights, hotel, transportation, full day tour and tickets to the parade were all arranged for us. It made for a stress free vacation and an incredible experience. Any questions we had were answered quickly. The full day tour was great as well. Renato was our guide and was very knowledgeable and helped us capture great photos. If you are considering a trip to Brazil, you cannot go wrong using this agency. Marcelo in particular, was amazing. You will be in good hands.

Excellent independent cruise ship shore excursions Do Brazil Right’s two-day tour was a great independent cruise ship shore excursion and a great way to see all of the highlights of Rio in two days. Website information and email correspondence with Marcelo prior to and during our cruise were great. Payment via the links sent by Marcelo worked well. Marcia was an excellent tour guide- friendly, fun, helpful, responsive to questions and requests, organized, engaging and energetic, with excellent communication skills and knowledge of the area. She, and our excellent drivers Rafael and Claudio, adjusted the itinerary to accommodate the weather, the crowds, and our interests. The vehicles were comfortable, and the meals at the Senador and Fogo de Chao restaurants were delicious and also great cultural experiences. Be prepared for an active excursion with walking on uneven terrain. I would highly recommend touring Rio with Do Brazil Right. PS, Marcelo, with Do Brazil Right, also set up day tours for our Cruise Critic group in Salvador and Fortaleza, and a two-day tour in Manaus. I could not find separate TripAdvisor listings for DBR for those ports, so did not submit reviews for those separate tours. However, our tours with Do Brazil Right in Salvador, Fortaleza and Manaus were also excellent and highly recommended.

THE BEST TOURS EVER IN RIO DE JANEIRA BY DOBRAZILRIGHT We booked the two day Rio Tour with DoBrazilRight as it had good reviews and in preference to any Tours offered by a cruise line which usually offers poor experiences for very high prices. We were not disappointed with our decision to book with DoBrazilRight. From reserving our Tour with Marcelo, selecting our Group Size and payment, it couldn't have been easier, Marcelo was so helpful with our initial questions and accommodating some small last minute changes to the benefit of our itinerary made necessary by a change in the Quest's Port arrival and departure times in Rio. The Tours on Day's 1 and 2 were outstanding. If you are lucky enough to have Marcia as your Tour Guide you will have a wonderful experience, she is an exceptional Tour Guide. Our trips to Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer went without a hitch, you get Priority Passes for both (no queuing what so ever). The lunch included on Day 1 at the Fogo De Chao Restaurant at the Marina was excellent, an all you can eat buffet with the biggest variety of meat I have ever had served at your table by traditionally dressed waiters. Our Tours included stops at Selaron and Santa Teresa plus the 3 main beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Conrado, all with plenty of time to enjoy these wonderful locations. Great value Tours. We have wonderful and lasting memories of Rio, enjoyed wonderful weather and cannot wait to return. Thank you to everyone at DoBrazilRight.

Such a fun day!!! We had so much fun! The indigenous tribe was awesome and very kind. We got to eat what they eat! I tried smoked ants, manoka and some kind of fruit. We then headed to swim with the pink dolphins. I had never done anything like that. I want to do it again! We ate at a local place on the river then fed the Pirarucu fish we just ate. Finally took us to see the meeting of the waters. Just a great day! Do Brazil Right is a great company with great guides. I highly recommend.

Although I have not decided which tickets to purchase, Marcelo has taken the time to help me and I would not hesitate to book with him and dobrazilright. Thank you Marcelo.

Top notch tour company! We booked our tours in Rio and in Recife with Do Brazil Right. Marcelo is wonderful to work with – great communication. We were provided a detailed sheet with timing and sites to visit. The tour guides were at the port to greet us and direct us to our van. The guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. We would not hesitate to use this company again.

Take DBR tours everywhere you go in Brazil We were on a cruise ship traveling South America and stopped in eleven ports in Brazil. With many positive reviews and our concerns about safety of independent travel, we decided to sign up 8 tours including Rio Carnival and 2 Half-day private group tours in Rio de Janeiro. The owner, Marcelo, customizes each tour to fit our cruise schedule to show us the great cities. He was always available before I even book his tours and during the tours. He showed up at the Rio cruise port with his team of tour guides to greet us (easily over 200 of us) to ensure we have great tours. His guides are hand picked and everyone was professional and spoke excellent English . Don’t bother paying twice more for a ship’s excursion to see the carnival. We were in sector 9 open front box raw A - we could almost touch the parade performers and could see their face expressions. We also took 2 half-day tour to see Christ Stature & Sugar Loaf Mountain with great Brazilian BBQ lunch on the first day and Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach on the second day. We were escorted to VIP entrance to skip long lines to get into train and rope way. His website’s tour description is very clear what to expect. He has many pictures of the sites we visit. All of his tour itineraries were carefully prepared - despite the two years of business closure due to the pandemic, he pulled off logistics to fulfill the demands. I normally plan my own site seeing but this is a country I don’t speak their language and safety is a big concern. Every tour we took, it was well worth the cost. I recommend his tours to everyone who visit Brazil!
