Suggested route
Festival + Blue Note: Enter Clássicos do Brasil from 15:00 at Marina da Glória, then ride ~15 minutes to Copacabana to catch Doces Bárbaros at Blue Note (19:00). If you prefer theater, swap the festival for the 18:00 monologue at Teatro Riachuelo and finish by the beach.
Getting around & quick tips
- Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Glória/Cinelândia and Copacabana; Metro works well pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
- Allow buffer time for security/entry at festivals and seated theaters; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
- Keep valuables secure in crowded areas; set a clear post-show meeting point.
