Getting around & quick tips

• Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Botafogo, Copacabana, and Lapa; Metro works pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Copacabana).
• Arrive 20–30 min early for seated shows; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
• Keep valuables secure in crowded rodas and around Rua do Lavradio after midnight.
