Centro/Lapa swing: Begin 19:30 at Carioca da Gema, stroll Rua do Lavradio for Rio Scenarium's Wednesday samba, then choose a late ride to Copacabana for the 22:30 Blue Note closer.

  • Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Lapa, Botafogo and Copacabana; Metro is reliable pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
  • Arrive 20–30 minutes early for seated clubs; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
  • Keep phones secure around the Arcos/Lavradio late; set a clear meet point if splitting groups.
