Suggested route

19:30 arrive on Paulista → 20:00 Opera Queen at Blue Note → stay for the 22:30 Phil Collins Carrossel (same venue) → after 23:30 pick: quick ride to Major Bar (República) for Anderson Noise, or head to Caracol (Vila Buarque) for Nosedrip; alternative hip-hop route: start 21:00 at Audio (Barra Funda), then slide downtown for a late club stop.

Getting around & quick tips

• Paulista ↔ Barra Funda ↔ Centro runs 15–30 min by app rides off-peak; set a pickup point after big shows.
• Carry a photo ID; casual/smart-casual works. Keep phones zipped and go door-to-door late.
• Blue Note is seated; arriving early improves table choice. Downtown clubs may have lines after 23:00.
