Getting around & quick tips

\n

\n \t
• Pick one main cross-city move. Centro ↔ Paulista ↔ Moema ↔ Barra Funda can add up fast on a Friday.

\n \t

• Bring ID. Save ticket QR codes offline (screenshots) before you leave.

\n \t

• Casa de Francisca runs multiple spaces (Salão, Sala B, Porão, Largo). Confirm the room on the listing or your ticket.

\n \t

• Blue Note is session-based seating. Arrive with a buffer if you are coming from Centro or Moema.
