Manaus Getting there & around

Getting around

City buses and downtown streets get super busy around 1pm to 2pm and 5pm to 7pm; avoid trying to move too far across the city at these times. Bus fare is R$1 to R$1.50 on most routes. Taxis are plentiful, but rather expensive.

Bus & tram

To/from the bus station

Buses 306 and 813 (the same ones you take to the airport) also pass the bus station; pick up either at Praça da Matriz or on Av Getulio Vargas. The bus station is small and easy to miss, so be sure to tell the driver where you’re headed and keep your eyes peeled. It’s the second stop after the stadium on the left.

You can catch the same buses back into town. Leaving the bus station, use the pedestrian bridge to cross Rua Recife and turn left along the busy street on the far side of the gas station there. The bus stop is 100m further along, on the far side of the street.

A taxi between the bus station and the center costs R$20 to R$25.
