When should you arrive?
Plan to be at the venue 30 to 45 minutes early. For evening sessions, have dinner beforehand or choose a restaurant very close by. The biggest mistake is relying on perfect traffic conditions and arriving after the doors have closed.
How to get there
The Museum of Tomorrow is located at Praça Mauá, 1. The museum recommends taking the VLT and says it does not have its own parking; there are private parking facilities nearby, including the RB1 building.
