Suggested route

Lapa → Beach: Anchor Buena Vista Orchestra at Circo Voador (20:00), then 25–30 min to Copacabana for Blue Note's 22:30 Bowie set (below). If you prefer Barra, do Wanessa (21:30) and finish with a late drink by the beach.

Getting around & quick tips

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