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.
