Top Games Spots in Southeast

Parking can be a hassle, so I suggest using public transport or ride-sharing apps. It saves time and you won’t have to worry about parking fees

Bring a refillable water bottle to the game. It saves money and keeps you hydrated, especially if it's a hot day.

Download the stadium's app before you go. It has great info on seating, events, and even maps, which helped me navigate the place better.

If you can, catch a game on a weekend. The atmosphere is electric and you'll get the full experience. Try to arrive around 1.5 hours early to soak it all in and avoid the last-minute rush.

Don't overthink the drink menu, just ask the bartender for their specials! I hesitated and ended up missing out on some fantastic craft beers.

try to go on a weekday if your schedule allows it. theres less crowd and you'll have more fun at the billiards tables without waiting around.

I recommend checking out the happy hour, it starts around 5 PM and you can get some great deals on drinks and appetizers. Saves you some cash!

Plan your visit for either early morning or right before a match starts. I went around noon and regretted it because the lines for tours were massive!

I suggest using public transport to get there. The metro is pretty reliable and drops you off close. I took an Uber last time and it was a total hassle in traffic!

Check out the stadium's shops, but be careful with your spending. I splurged on souvenirs and ended up spending way too much. Look for sales!

I recommend grabbing a bite at local food stalls outside the stadium. They have amazing snacks, way better than the pricey stadium food. Got a delicious pastel for half the price!

Try to take advantage of their happy hour. Drinks and snacks are on special, and it can save you a good bit of money. I totally regretted not getting that info beforehand.

I recommend making a reservation ahead of time especially on weekends. It gets super busy and you don’t want to spend time waiting around. Trust me we had to wait an hour before we got a lane!

My advice is to bring your own bowling socks! It might sound silly, but renting socks there cost me 10 reais. Save your cash and just throw a pair in your bag!

If you're planning to eat, I suggest getting the nachos! They were surprisingly good, way better than I expected for a bowling place. Plus, they keep you fueled for more rounds!

Don't forget to check the event schedule ahead of time. I missed out on some awesome matches because I didn't plan it out well!

Look out for local food stalls just outside the pavilion. They offer authentic Brazilian snacks at a fraction of the price inside.

Bring a refillable water bottle. The prices for drinks inside are steep, and staying hydrated is key, especially in Rio's heat.
