Arroios
Late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century apartment buildings form a dense patchwork around Anjos, Intendente and Alameda. Narrow streets and ground-floor businesses create intimate street fronts, while Alameda’s larger public spaces interrupt the otherwise compact and closely built urban fabric.
Stands out
- A huge dining scene with 235 restaurants to try.
- Exceptional metro coverage offers near-maximum access across Arroios.
Who it's for
- You want a car-light life with excellent metro coverage.
- You value international neighbours and a wide choice of restaurants.
What to consider
- If you want a local-only vibe, foreign residents hold a notable share.
- On a tight rent budget, Arroios isn’t the cheapest.
