Getting around
Aeroporto Val de Cães is 8km north of the center on Av Júlio César. The ‘Pratinha – Pres Vargas’ bus (number 638) runs between the airport and Av Presidente Vargas (R$1.50, 40 minutes); the ‘E Marex’ bus also goes there, but you may have to change buses at the depot (no extra charge). At the airport, turn left as you leave the terminal; buses stop at the traffic circle about 50m past the end of the airport terminal building. A taxi between the airport and center is a fixed R$30 when booked inside the terminal, but can be negotiated to R$15 to R$25 at the bus stop.
The long-distance bus station is on the corner of Av Almirante Barroso and Av Ceará, 3km east of the city center. Going into town, catch almost any westbound bus on Av Governador José Malcher or cross to the far side of Av Almirante Barroso and catch any bus saying ‘Aero Club’ or ‘P Vargas’ – both can drop you at Praça de República. Going out to the bus station, take any ‘Guama – P Vargas’ bus (number 316) from Av Presidente Vargas.
