Productive leisure in Rio de Janeiro

Carnival — the holiday which has glorified not only Рио, but also all Brazil. The majority of tourists aspire to get on it. The carnival lasts, not ceasing all day and night, five days. Day and night rattle drums, and in each street dance a samba. The mayor gives the power to the first day of a holiday in a city to the king of a carnival to fat man Momo, and for five days all in the power of a holiday. If you have booked in advance tickets can see parade of the higher league of schools of a samba. If to you has carried, you will see hundreds and thousand dancers. Will see, how performances estimates jury. Criteria of performance are that: accuracy of movements, beauty of suits and a historical component — to sing and dance it is authorised only episodes from history of Brazil, and is final, songs, for each carnival are written new, and for them the jury gives most of all points.

The carnival always begins on Saturday, and comes to an end on Wednesday. In the night from Monday to Tuesday there passes ball in Municipal theatre where celebrities gather. Get there you if pay some hundreds dollars for the ticket can also. During a carnival anybody, even the higher state officials, does not work and does not study.

Certainly, such violence lasting many days not is pleasant to all, many inhabitants Рио leave a city for the period of a carnival as not less colourful actions pass and in other places (for example, a carnival in the city of Salvador), and the carnival in Рио is broadcast on the air by all broadcasting companies of the country. Local residents, of course, presume to themselves such luxury — they saw so much carnivals! But if you have got to Brazil during celebrations — take part in this unique holiday.
