Roberto Carlos is one of the biggest icons of Brazilian popular music. With over six decades of a legendary career, the singer from Espírito Santo—adopted by Brazil as a carioca at heart—keeps a tradition of Rio shows that brings together generations of fans.

How to Get to Qualistage
Qualistage is located inside Via Parque Shopping at Avenida Ayrton Senna, 3,000, in Barra da Tijuca. The mall has its own parking lot, but on show nights the area gets packed fast—arrive at least an hour early if you’re driving.
TransCarioca BRT (easiest option): The Via Parque BRT station is about 600 meters from Qualistage. The BRT connects Barra da Tijuca to Tom Jobim International Airport and Fundão, passing through several neighborhoods in the North and West Zones. Service is usually reinforced on show nights.
Metro + BRT: Take Line 4 (yellow) of the metro to Jardim Oceânico station, then hop on the TransCarioca BRT toward Via Parque station. The final walk to Qualistage is about 600 meters. The metro + BRT integration is done with a single ticket.
Bus: Lines 315, 361, 565, 614, and 880 stop near the mall. Check the route on the Moovit app or Fetranspor’s website before heading out.
Uber, 99, and Cabify: These work well for getting there; for the way out, schedule your pickup in advance on the app—demand is high right after the show ends.
What to Do Near Qualistage
Barra da Tijuca has long beaches and shopping malls, but if you’re coming from outside Rio specifically for the show, it’s worth spending the days before exploring the city’s iconic landmarks—after all, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain are less than 40 minutes from Qualistage.
Christ the Redeemer is a must-see. A private van tour with a Portuguese-speaking guide takes the hassle out of coordinating the Corcovado train, parking, and lines on your own:
Christ the Redeemer Tour — Civitatis
Sugarloaf Mountain offers one of the world’s most famous views, with the cable car climbing to the summit in two stages. Tours depart from downtown and the South Zone with flexible hours:

Where to Stay Nearby
If you want to minimize travel on show day, you can stay right in Barra da Tijuca—there are good hotels and apartment-hotels just minutes from Qualistage. The downside is that Barra has less cultural and dining life outside the malls.
For a more classic Rio experience, the South Zone neighborhoods (Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, Flamengo) offer more restaurants, beaches, and attractions. The combination of Line 4 metro + TransCarioca BRT gets you to Qualistage in about 40 minutes. Check out our Rio de Janeiro accommodation guide to compare neighborhoods and prices.
