 Recife - Brazil by solopes
]Igarassu, that we would miss without his support. He also checked the tide hour, to suggest trip scheduling. Absolutely perfect.
My best tip about Recife will surely be: don't hesitate - phone Roberto. And if you tell him that it was Avelino's suggestion you'll get a prompt smile. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: +558 191 020 402

There are some lines in which the buses are smaller but more comfortable, with music, air conditioned and passengers are not allowed to travel standing up.
There is a very small difference in the price, but more than worthy.
As an example, I suggest line 42, which leaves from the airport, goes all along an avenue paralell to the beach and goes to Recife Antigo; so, this line serves many of the touristic spots of the city. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Most will fly into Recife from other locations. There are direct flights from US airports, I really don't know what it is like from other parts of the world.
We had exceptional experiences utilizing the long distance bus system which is as good as any in the world, perhaps better.
I suppose you could also jump ship if you happen to come in that way.
We do a lot of walking when traveling but it is not difficult to use the bus system in Recife. It is efficient and they run often.
You can usually negotiate a half day tour with a taxi driver, they are receptive esp. if you offer to have him take you to his favourite restaurant.

The bus costs R$ 5.45 and it takes an hour and a half.
You can take it in the 'rodoviária' ... or further south by the BR-101 highway. Theme: Bus

The bus takes forever (some 4 or 5 hours to cover little more than 200 KM), unless you're lucky enough to catch a direct service (which still takes a lot).
The ticket costs R$ 25 to 30, depending on where you catch it. Theme: Bus

There are city buses going to Olinda, and if they don't go close to where you are (let's say: Praia Boa Viagem) ... you can take advantage of the "integração" system, where you just do tranfers instead of paying more than one fare.
Buses to Olinda costs R$ 2.45. Theme: Bus

If you haven't any friend or any help from Tour agencies, you better take a cab, 'cause it is cheap and more confourtable than taking a bus... but be smart about the prices! Leave a Comment
