Rio de Janeiro Transportation
As well as the international airport, Rio de Janiero is well served by a complex Brazilian bus network that links Rio with literally hundreds of destinations throughout Brazil and beyond. In general, Rio de Janiero is one of the most accessible cities in Latin America.
Arriving by Air
Brazil's capital city is served by Rio de Janeiro-Galećo (Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport) (GIG).
Getting Around Rio de Janeiro
Rio's public transport system is cheap and effective. Buses are the most popular form of transport as there are lines connecting the entire city, but keep an eye out for pickpockets. Taxis are easily available and the subway system, although small, is safe and reliable. Driving around the city in a rental car is notoriously difficult so it is preferable to hire a car and driver.
