Copacabana focus: Do Luã Yvys (20:00) and stay for Yumi Park (22:30) at Blue Note; if you want a pre-show warm-up nearby, Beco das Garrafas has Lúcia Menezes (20:00) and Dilma Oliveira (21:00) a short hop away.
Getting around & quick tips
- Between Lapa and Copacabana, use registered taxis/ride-hailing; Metro works well for Cinelândia ↔ Copacabana before midnight.
- Arrive 20–30 minutes early for seated shows; bring photo ID. Most venues accept cards.
- Keep phones secure in crowded rodas; set a clear meet point if splitting groups.
