The aim of this article is to understand some strategies of the population to move during the night in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In this sense, the research involved procedures of direct observation of circuits, ways of moving across the city, practices and their respective schedules, rhythms and social interactions. Through the multiplicity of strategies, it was perceived that some patterns establish circuits, denoting a deep relational sense in the mobility and its dependence on the transport systems. The association of night mobility with leisure centers is a representative feature that marks the main patterns and circuits of Rio’s nightlife, at the most different manifestations of the phenomenon, revealing a challenging situation for urban administration in a scenario of expansion of social relations in the nighttime.
