Lapa → Beach: Anchor Buena Vista Orchestra at Circo Voador (20:00), then 25–30 min to Copacabana for Blue Note’s 22:30 Bowie set (beneath). If you favor Barra, do Wanessa (21:30) and end with a late drink by the seashore.
Getting round & fast ideas
- Use registered taxis/ride-hailing between Lapa, Copacabana, and Barra; Metro works effectively pre-midnight (Cinelândia/Carioca ↔ Siqueira Campos/Cantagalo).
- Arrive 20–half-hour early for seated golf equipment; deliver a photograph ID. Most venues settle for playing cards.
- Keep telephones safe across the Arcos/Lavradio late; set a transparent meet level if splitting teams.
