Suggested route

Copacabana → Lapa loop: Start 20:00 at Blue Note (Esdras Nogueira), taxi 25–30 min to Lapa for SIBC at Fundição (21:00), then walk 5–8 min to Circo Voador for Chico Chico—or circle back to the beach for Blue Note’s 22:30 late set.

Barra + Beach: Anchor Chase Atlantic at Qualistage (21:00) and finish with a seaside drink in Copacabana or a late show at Blue Note (22:30).

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.
• Keep phones secure around the Arcos/Lavradio late; set a clear meet point if splitting groups.
