3.Skip the Line Maracana Stadium Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 203 reviews · 40 minutes to 1 hour (approx.) · from $22Best value

Enter Rio’s Maracanã Stadium at your own pace with a skip-the-line voucher. See club shirts, locker rooms, the warm-up room, press room, pitch, stands, and memorabilia linked to Pelé, Garrincha, and Zico. Allow about 40 minutes to an hour, or longer if you read every display.

“If you’re a football/soccer/futbol fan, this is a must see tour! Buying the ticket through here might be helpful if it’s a busy day, but otherwise, you can just buy it at the box office. Each tour is held every 15 minutes, although it is a self-guided tour and lasts about 40 minutes. Nonetheless, it was great seeing such a historic stadium where World Cup finals have been held!”

“As a beginner in diving, we found it out a very good experience. Place is very good, great scenery, beautiful view. We had great instructors (David and Maria). Gentle and calm. As improvements, a little more preparation to what would be happening under water, specially for the photos shooting. It was difficult understand under water what the team wanted us to do. Also, a warning about the stair that we would need to go down ( amd later up), and lastly, anticipation of the air cilinder weight. Not easy to carry it:”
