Moving About Rio De Janeiro Brazil Via Metro

By Barbara Marques


You can find a few types of transport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Anyone with a mate (acompanhante) can certainly move about the city in a bus, van, cab or even the metro. It's also possible to get a car rental but we do not advise this unless you anticipate leaving the city to visit locations including Buzios. Nonetheless, you can find long distance buses you may take that can make arriving there significantly less irritating if you're not familiar with the roadways.

Walking is the simplest, particularly when you and your acompanhante are renting Rio flats in Copacabana or Ipanema. If you are fortunate enough to have a beach front flat or even better, a luxury penthouse apartment in front of the beach, you'll do plenty of walking down the beach. Rio de Janeiro flats are a fantastic choice for you if you're planning on staying 7 days or more. Rental apartments supply much better discounts than Copacabana and Ipanema hotel accommodations.

The Buses as well as vans are definitely the most inexpensive forms of moving about Rio. They're rather handy however confusing at the same time. Look for a directory the major destinations over the front of the bus or van. Frequently they will not stop should you not wave them down this means you have to be aggressive, especially with the buses.

The Metro is definitely an effective way of travelling around from Ipanema to Centro plus further out. It is air conditioned, clean and safe. You'll find just Four stations amongst Ipanema and Copacabana thus preferably your rio apartment or hotel room is near one of the stops.

Cabs would be the easiest type of travel although higher priced. Nevertheless, for anyone who is together with RJ acompanhantes to make up a set of Four persons, it can be a good deal. Keep in mind, when your vacation in RJ is short, you want to maximize your time so speed and efficiency could be more crucial than price. For the most part, be sure that the meter is turned on Tariff 1 over the week. Tariff 2 is more expensive and utilized only after hours and during the weekends or holidays.
