Flamengo District, Residential district in South Zone, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Flamengo District extends along Guanabara Bay, featuring parks, colonial houses, modern apartment buildings, and tree-lined streets between Botafogo and Centro regions.
The district gained its name either from the pink flamingo birds present during colonial times or from Flemish prisoners held in the area during the 1700s.
The Carmen Miranda Museum displays 3,000 personal items from the Brazilian performer, while the Modern Art Museum holds 11,000 contemporary artworks from Brazilian creators.
The neighborhood connects to Rio's transportation network through metro stations and bus lines, providing direct access to beaches and central business areas.
Flamengo Park spans 1.2 million square meters of reclaimed land from Guanabara Bay, incorporating gardens designed by landscape architect Burle Marx.
