Mureta da Urca

This 1-kilometer-long seawall in Urca is a beloved meeting spot for Rio’s young crowd, especially at golden hour. The sunset over Guanabara Bay, with Christ the Redeemer in the background, is simply magical. Don’t miss the shrimp pastel at Bar Urca (R$12) across the street. Feeling thrifty? Walk down to the slightly cheaper hangout nicknamed Pobreta da Urca.
