Lapa + Copacabana: Start 20:00 at Circo Voador (Cícero), then ride 25–30 min to Copacabana for Blue Note’s 22:30 Tina Turner tribute; if you prefer to stay in Lapa, drop into Rio Scenarium (from 19:00) for a post-show samba floor.
Barra + Beach: Anchor Joelma at Qualistage (21:30), then head 20–25 min to Copacabana for a late drink near Blue Note—or start at Blue Note 20:00 (Divas) and finish at Qualistage if you want a later arena vibe.
Getting around & quick tips
- Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Barra, Copacabana, Botafogo, and Lapa; 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.
- Where R$ prices appear, USD equivalents are shown in parentheses using R$→$ at 5.40.
