• 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.
