There's always something going on in Copa, day and night. The wide sidewalks and bars are always buzzing with people from just about everywhere. The cruisy bit is located right across from the Copacabana Palace (not shown in the picture). Watch out for the rent boys though, unless of course, you don?t mind coughing up for a bit of trade. Not everyone is after business though; somebody might just fancy you! Ave. Atlantica is closed to traffic on Sundays, which is great as you have all the space for cycling, roller-blading, jogging and so on.
Copacabana also is center to the largest fireworks displays on NY's eve and its sandy beach is often used as stage for gigs, sport events and, even for sunbathing!
