Carnival 2006 in Brazil
The Sambadrome Setup
 
 
 

Camarotes (mezzanine boxes) are the most coveted positions.

Numbered Chairs - The row of frisas are open boxes with numbered chairs that sit 6 people. They are as close to the runway as it gets, too close according to some. Frisas have chairs, and a small table.

Grandstands (bleachers) are the most reasonably priced seats. The elevated position gives you a better idea of schools as a group. . Standard bleachers do not have numbered seats EXCEPT for the . VIP bleachers of Sectors 9 and 11 are the most expensive, and have numbered seats. There aren't actual chairs to sit on - the bleachers are not much more than big concrete steps.

Museum
There is a carnival museum at the Sambadrome, which is located downtown on Rua Marques de Sapucai. The Sambadrome was designed by world famous architect Oscar Niemeyer, the same guy who designed Brazil`s capital Brasilia. It`s 600 meters long and has a capacity of 43,000 people. The Museum is free of charge and is open from 11 to 5 Tuesday to Sunday. The entrance is on Rua Frei Caneca. The staff is bilingual and quite informative. It`s a good way to prepare yourself for the parade by understanding the traditions of the schools participating.
