Lapa-first: Start 19:30 at Carioca da Gema (warm-up), then 5–7 min walk to Circo Voador for Hamilton (20:00). After, head 3 min to Rio Scenarium for Inácio Rios (22:30) and DJs till late.
Zona Sul groove: Do Blue Note 20:00 (Elton tribute), stay for the 22:30 Phil Collins set—or Uber 20–25 min to Lapa for Rio Scenarium’s late show.
Flamengo option: Anchor at Vivo Rio (21:00 Mart’nália), then quick hop to Lapa for a late stroll or DJ set if you want to keep going.
Getting around & quick tips
- Lapa ↔ Copacabana/Flamengo: use registered taxis/ride-hailing; Metro works well before midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
- Arrive 20–30 min early for seated shows; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
- Keep phones secure in crowded rodas and on Rua do Lavradio later at night.
