Getting around & quick tips
Friday works best with one big move: Centro → Barra Funda, or Paulista → Barra Funda, or just stay put.
Casa de Francisca runs multiple spaces (Largo, Salão, Porão). Confirm the room on your listing or ticket page.
Bring ID and save ticket confirmations offline (screenshots) before you leave.
For late exits (especially after D-Edge), use well-lit pickup points and rideshare door-to-door.
