Good to know
- Shop and eat at the Feira da Glória from the morning, then stay for the samba in the afternoon.
- Check which group plays: Gloriosa is on the third Sunday, Mesa da Diretoria on others.
- Keep your phone out of sight on the street; the UK FCDO notes phone thefts are common, especially between 4pm and 9pm.
