Getting around & quick tips

• Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Flamengo ↔ Copacabana ↔ Botafogo; Metro works well pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
• Arrive 20–30 minutes early for seated clubs; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
• Daytime samba (Praça Paris/Renascença) gets crowded—keep valuables secure and set a meet point.
