People actually live inside Diocletian's Palace — apartments, cafés, and bars occupy the Roman emperor's retirement home. Walk through the golden gate at dawn before the crowds arrive. The Riva promenade is the evening social scene.
Cariocas (Rio residents) are warm and physical — hugs and cheek-kisses are normal greetings.
