Who already knew Lapa in Rio de Janeiro? And who liked???

Answer 1

Lapa--A tiny, funky little neighborhood once known as the "Montmartre of the Tropics," Lapa is dead easy to find. It's centered at the Largo da Lapa at the foot an old and very picturesque aqueduct known as the Arcos da Lapa. In addition to those two sights, Lapa offers some lovely old colonial buildings and -- in recent years -- a very active nightlife scene.

It's great fun, and during the week-end, there are many antiques being sold in the area.
