Sambódromo

The most important venue of carnival, the Sambódromo hosts the famous carnival parades. Rio’s best samba schools present a performance that took a year’s worth of preparation and is filled with costumes, floats, and dances.

Centro

Rio city center (Centro) has the oldest and most popular blocks in town. Cordão do Boitatá attracts families and partygoers and costumes are encourages while the official first-ever block of carnival, Cordão do Bola Preta, is the largest one where people dress up in black and white polka dots.

Santa Teresa

The vibe of Santa Teresa is bohemian and artsy with it being a favorite among Rio residents. Be sure to check out the bloco Carmelitas, which is themed around the story of a nun who jumped over the convent’s walls to join the party. Many people wear colored veils to pay honor to the nun.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

New Orleans’ celebration of Carnival basically boils down to “Mardi Gras,” or Fat Tuesday. The Big Easy turns into a massive party on this day, with all kinds of raucous celebrations in a day full of excess that marks the last day before the beginning of Lent.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival is probably the world’s biggest and most internationally renowned Carnival. Elaborate outfits, endless food and drink, and a city that essentially shuts down to host a massive party make Carnival in Rio a bucket list experience.
