Suggested route

Start 18:30 at Carioca da Gema (Lapa), then head to Copacabana for either Blue Note 20:00 or Beco das Garrafas 20:00/21:00. If you’re doing Francis Hime, anchor Ipanema first and finish in Copacabana.

Getting around & quick tips

• Lapa ↔ Zona Sul: use registered taxis/ride-hailing; Metro is reliable pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
• Arrive 20–30 minutes early for seated rooms; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
