We visited in April 2019 & what strikes you as you approach the steps are the amazing murals leading up to the stairs. This just adds to the colours of the stairs itself which are fairly steep. Not easy to get a photo as everyone is trying to get one especially where the Rio name & Selaron name is. It is less busy further up. It's a fairly narrow corridor but very pretty. Quite a few vendors around selling souvenirs & food as well as a couple of smaller restaurants , an icon of Rio & a must visit. Some interesting history about the artist who created the stairs & the baths he filled to create part of the stairs.
Colorful and Authentic
A beautiful colorful Brazilian experience, these steps are full of locals and tourists. I highly recommend this as a daytime excursion... you'll experience Brazil's diversity and possibly hear many languages too!
Great souvenir store. You can find a little of everything from Rio here. The best part are the cachaças! Here you can taste them before buying and they have exotic flavors like: açaí, corn, and other Brazilian fruits and nuts. Great and courteous workers too. If you're in Rio, I'm a local guide here.
