Rio de Janeiro, the Carnival Capital of the World, is the most fun city in February. The festivities - including parades, balls and concerts - officially run from Feb. 18 - 21, but the celebrations always end up starting earlier and ending later.
Rio Carnival has become world-famous through the Samba Parade, a show, a display and competition of the Rio samba schools. The two major days are Carnival Sunday and Monday.
Rio de Janeiro, as the City of Carnival, offers a selection of Carnival balls. You should not miss them. You won't have to spend a fortune to have a great time. Tickets to most balls will cost you around R$30 to R$50 ($15-20) and are available at the door. Exceptions are the two most famous luxury hotels, Copacabana Palace and Gloria. Other great balls are in Rio Scala. Clube dos Caicaras and the Hard Rock Cafe's Kid's Folia also organize animated costume balls for adults and children. There are more themed balls city-wide such as nights for singles, etc.
