if one is attending a big music festival or concert, such as rock in rio, it is best to use public transportation seeing as parking spaces are limited - there are many public and private companies offering alternatives to fit a variety of budgets.

although it is advised to buy tickets online and have them printed before arriving to the event, there are no extra taxes charged if entrances are purchased at the establishment the event is taken place.

if there are many events occurring simultaneously, the prefecture may modify the circulation of the streets, in order to help with traffic - visiting the prefecture website, local newspapers, tuning into local radio and tv stations, can be useful in order to know if there are any changes in traffic control.
