A Copacabana Evening Around the Dinner Show

The dinner show takes the whole evening: on the Roxy’s own schedule you are let in at 18:30, eat from 19:00, see the main show at 21:00 and leave at 22:45 (read 13 November 2026). So the free part of a Copacabana evening is the afternoon, and it is easiest to spend it close by. Rua Bolívar ends at the beach, about 230 metres from the Roxy’s door, and the two landmarks at either end of the sand, the Copacabana Fort and the Copacabana Palace, are each a walk of 1.5 to 1.7 km. The show was from US$139 per adult on GetYourGuide (checked November 2026), drinks not included.

Book the night first: the house plays Wednesday to Sunday, and the calendar shows which dates are open.

The beach at the end of the street

Walk down Rua Bolívar from the Roxy and you reach Avenida Atlântica and the sand in about 230 metres. That makes the beach the obvious place to spend the last hour before doors open: you can be back at the corner of Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana in a few minutes. Leave beach bags at the hotel if you can, and change before you go: the Roxy does not allow sportswear, bare feet or see-through clothing.

A longer walk: the Fort or the Palace

The Copacabana Fort sits at the southern tip of the beach, about 1.5 km on foot from Rua Bolívar 45 by a routed walking figure. The Copacabana Palace faces the sand to the north-east, about 1.7 km on foot by the same measure. Either makes a seafront walk of an afternoon before an 18:30 door. If the walk leaves you far from Rua Bolívar, a taxi back to the corner is a short ride.

Timing the evening

Aim to be at the door when it opens at 18:30. Dinner runs from 19:00, the opening show starts at 19:30 and the main show at 21:00, so there is a stretch at the table between dinner and Aquele Abraço; two low reviews (May and September 2026) describe waiting from about 19:00 until 21:00 for the show. The GetYourGuide calendar printed the start as 7:00 PM for November and December 2026 dates and 7:30 PM in January 2027, so check your date.

After the close

At 22:45 the evening is over. Book a car home before you sit down, or choose one of the two listings of the same show with a hotel transfer from Copacabana dinner show tickets. If you would rather be able to walk back, where to stay in Copacabana has room searches near Rua Bolívar and along the beach.
