Lonely Planet review

The Monumento do Marco Zero, a large obelisk-cum-sundial, stands on the equator, about 6km southwest of the city center. A hemisphere-straddling sports stadium and a sambadrome (a stadium built for the express purpose of holding huge samba concerts and dances) are part of the same complex.

To get there, take a southbound 'Fortaleza' or orange 'Universidad' buses on Rua Tiradentes at Av Mendonça Furtado, behind Igreja de São José. The same bus returns to the centro. The Zerãó bus also works, but takes a more roundabout route.
