We were advised not to go but had to while in Rio. It's closed to the public as its 92% complete inside and huge work going on outside. Parked up outside and got some pics to understand the huge size of the place but if you intending to be in Rio in the future I wold not visit until its... More

Never actually saw the inside of the stadium just the museum with the foot engravings--which were awesome by the way. As an American who refers to futebol as soccer, can't name a single team from any country but I know who Pele is and know also who is Kaka and a few others. Wish I knew enough to even ask... More

Both team supporters can sit together without fear of violence, just the enjoyment of the game and the going on's inside the stadium. You'll see!

If you're in Rio and you need to be able to say you've been to the Maracana then you can still visit a very small museum.
