Rio de Janeiro - Centro carries the bulk of the choice, 18 hotels spanning three to five stars, suiting travellers who want options and don't mind a ride on matchday. Flamengo offers four hotels, three and four stars, and Rocha Miranda has a single three-star option. With four fixtures at the Maracanã inside the same week, expect rooms across these areas to fill quickly as fans arrive for the Libertadores and Sudamericana ties.
When to book
Four Maracanã fixtures fall between 20 and 28 October 2026, starting with Vasco da Gama's Copa Sudamericana game on 20 October. Only one of the 24 listed hotels is walkable, so book early if proximity matters. Centro's 18 hotels offer the widest spread of stars and should hold stock longest. Pay weekly instalments and free-cancellation rates make locking in early straightforward.

Map: Estadio do Maracana and the listed hotels
Getting to Estadio do Maracana
Metro Line 2 stops right at Maracanã station, with a covered overpass walking straight into the stadium, and SuperVia commuter trains share the same station. Check your gate: A, B or C use Maracanã station, while D, E or F are better served by São Cristóvão station. On matchday nights both stations keep boarding open until around 00:30. There's no official stadium car park, though paid garages such as Estapar UERJ sit about five minutes away, and CET-Rio closes nearby streets before kickoff, reopening to traffic from about 22:30. Taxis and rideshare apps are widely available, with rides from Copacabana or Ipanema taking 25 to 40 minutes. From Galeão airport, take the BRT Transcarioca to Vicente de Carvalho and transfer to Metro Line 2.
Metro Line 2 to Maracanã station
The green Line 2 of Rio's MetroRio has a station named Maracanã immediately next to the stadium, and a covered pedestrian overpass links the station exit directly to one of the stadium entrances without crossing busy roads.

SuperVia commuter trains also serve the stadium
SuperVia suburban trains also stop at the Maracanã station, which is integrated with the metro station, making it a convenient option for fans travelling in from outlying suburbs.
Choose your station based on your gate
For gates A, B or C spectators should alight at Maracanã station and follow the pedestrian overpass straight to the stadium, while for gates D, E or F it is recommended to get off at São Cristóvão station and follow the walkway and roadside path around to the entrance.
Extended post match metro service
On matchday nights MetroRio extends boarding at the Maracanã and São Cristóvão stations for a further hour after the final whistle, keeping them open for boarding until around 00:30, while other stations switch to exit only after their normal closing time.

No official stadium car park, use nearby garages
There is no official on-site car park for stadium visitors, so spectators are advised to use nearby paid garages such as the Estapar UERJ parking area, about a five minute walk away, though this university car park can be closed entirely for big derby matches.
Streets around the stadium close before kickoff
City traffic authority CET-Rio closes several streets in the immediate vicinity of the stadium in the hours before kickoff for big matches, with normal traffic typically restored only from around 22:30 onward.

Taxis and ride hailing apps are widely available
Taxis and ride hailing apps such as Uber, 99 and Cabify are plentiful in Rio, with a trip from the southern beach areas of Copacabana or Ipanema typically taking around 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
Airport link via BRT and Metro Line 2
There is no direct metro station at Galeão international airport, so spectators heading to the stadium should take the BRT Transcarioca busway to Vicente de Carvalho station and transfer onto Metro Line 2, which runs to Maracanã station.
