Sunday’s Rio Nightlife Pick – If you haven’t been to this oasis on top of the Vidigal mountain then you are missing out.

Then head up the hill for a cocktail and beats as you gaze over Leblon, Ipanema, Lagao and even Niterói.
LIVE:
Bob Dylan (Barra da Tijuca)
Bob Dylan is an iconic American singer-songwriter, musician and artist. He has been an influential figure in popular music and culture for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest.
