Suggested route

Copacabana → Lapa: Start 20:00 at Blue Note (“Só Caetano”), then ride 25–30 minutes to Circo Voador for Teto, or stay seaside and circle back for the 22:30 Blue Note seating.

Barra path: Anchor Maria Gadú at Qualistage (doors 21:30), then decide-late jump to Flamengo for Pabllo's Halloween at Vivo Rio or keep it local along Av. Ayrton Senna.

Getting around & quick tips
  • Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Barra, Copacabana and Lapa; Metro works well pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
  • Arrive 20–30 minutes early for seated shows; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
  • For costume events (Vivo Rio), check bag policies and allow extra time at security.
