Amazing stadium and even better fans. The best atmosphere i experience during my 4 games in Brazil. I took taxi from Maracana for 20 reals and the same way i came back. Taxis are so cheap there is No point going by bus especially if you do not know the area. Tickets are sold outside the stadium by fans as well as in the ticket offices.

Vasco is a traditional club, widely supported by the portugueese descendents in Rio alongside many others. Vasco has a lot more of a blue collar working class feel than the other big 3 Rio clubs. A definate experience worthwhile for football fans visiting Rio, the only downpoint being not so good transportation to the site. The area is also surrounded by a favela in one end of the grounds, yet that normally does not affect travellers.
