Take a Look at the Different Ways You can Get Sambodromo Access Quickly and Easily.
You can go to the Sambadrome in many ways. Taxis may drop you off as close as possible to the Sambadrome. Tell the taxi driver your sector number to take you to the correct entrance. On the way back, you can take one of these taxis, parked between sectors 8 and 10 on the even side and between sectors 9 and 11 on the odd side.
Another option is our transfer service that takes you straight from the boarding point at our our Hospitality Desk in Copacabana to the Sambadrome.
One of the best ways to get to the Sambadrome for even-numbered Sectors is by subway. Trains run every 10 minutes throughout the night with many costumed revelers heading to the Sambadrome, and the service runs 24 hours during the parade days. Buying ticket packages for the even sectors on our website, you get free round trip subway and can join our Bookers Angels at the Hospitality Desk to travel together as a group by subway.

Subway – the subway service is very reliable and safe, running uninterrupted throughout the parade days 24 hours a day, with a 10-minute break during the night.

Taxi – Just like the even side, only authorized taxis from TaxiRio with QR code are allowed to get passengers from the Sambadrome. They are stationed closer to the Military Police Battalion on the corner of Marques de Pombal and Frei Caneca streets.
Transfer –Remember, you must add this service during your purchase on our website and select between the time options to board the coach. On the end of each Samba School Parade, a transfer will leave the Sambadrome and return you to your boarding point. Learn more here.
