From Guarulhos Airport to the city of Sao Paulo travelers can either take a taxi or a bus. Prepaid taxi fares are available with Taxi Guarucoop (tel. 011/6440-7070), to all of São Paulo, as well as to the suburbs and surrounding communities. Sample fares: Congonhas Airport R$61 (US$30.50), São Paulo Centro and Tietê R$46 (US$23), Cerqueira Cesar and Jardins R$54 (US$27), Avenida Paulista R$54 (US$27), and Liberdade R$53 (US$26.50). One can also take a regular metered taxi, flag fall starts at R$3.20 (US$1.60) and goes up R$0.80 (US40¢) per km. If traffic is good, these taxis end up being a little cheaper, but some days traffic is so congested that the prepaid ride turns out to be a much better deal. In my opinion the best, safest and also cheapest method to get from the airport to the city-centre or to the domestic airport Congonhas is the Airport Service Bus. They operate four different shuttle bus routes: to Congonhas Airport, to Praca da Republica, to Avenida Paulista (stopping at major hotels along the street), and to the Rodoviario Tietê (bus station). Cost is R$21 per person (US$7), and each route takes approximately 50 minutes. Buses depart daily about every 30 minutes from 6am to 11pm, and then hourly overnight. Timetables can be found under: http://www.airportbusservice.com.br When travelling from Guarulhos Airport to Gongonhas Airport, please remember that in general after leaving the aircraft you have to go trough customs and passport control (which always does take a loooong looong time there) and that you still has to get the luggage, etc. and probably will get stuck some time in a traffic jam (depends on the time)... so count on around 2-3 hours to get to Gongonhas airport from Guarulhos!

 Guarulhos Airport-SP by mangueirense São Paulo has two main airports. All international flights arrive at Guarulhos Airport (GRU), 18 1/2 miles (30km) northeast of the city-centre. Paulistas will also refer to this airport as Cumbica. Guarulhos Airport is the largest in Brazil and sure one of the biggest in Southamerica. Unlike airports in Europe and North America, the international airport of São Paulo has a duty-free shop upon arrival before clearing customs, where you can purchase up to US$500 of goods. Once you have cleared customs you can change money or traveler's checks or use an ATM to obtain cash in Reais (R$). The American Express office is open daily from 6:30am to 10:30pm and charges no commission on changing cash or traveler's checks (as long as they are American Express checks), located in Terminal 1 Arrivals. The Banco do Brasil charges a US$20 flat rate for traveler's checks transactions and US$5 flat rate for cash transactions. The ATMs are compatible with Visa/Plus, located in Terminal 1 Arrivals. Unfortunately the airport does not have any official webpage (at least I could not find one), but there is a page from "Infraero" where you can find the informations you want: http://www.infraero.gov.br/www/home.nsf/agGetLink?OpenAgent&ID=5CD30112948DCE2E82256A0F004E04BA&Lang=br (page does take some time to loud!)

You've landed in São Paulo. Now you need to get to São Paulo - the airport is around 25kms away from the city center, in heavy traffic. Taking a taxi is expensive - if you negociate with the driver beforehand, it is around R$ 75. If you pay by the meter, R$100. If you are unsure, take a prepaid cab from the booths (blue or green). There are lots of hawkers for taxis in the airport - if you are an obvious tourist, you run the risk of paying way too much. You can also take the "Airport Service" shuttle buses. There are several different lines: Eldorado Shopping Center, to the main hotels, to certain city areas, etc.. The price is R$24 per person (around US$12). Finally, if you are travelling with little luggage and a tight budget, you can take the shuttle to the nearest metro station (Tatuape) for only R$3 (US$1,5). This is on the blue line - but don't worry, there are maps on the station showing how the different lines connect. Theme: Other

Most of the international airlines have a 'pit stop' in Sao Paulo, before going to Rio de Janeiro. I would consider a 'stop over' if possible with your ticket. But you need at least 3 - 4 days to explore the city. Driving from Rio (which I did) takes about 4 - 4,5 ours. The roads are great, but there is a lot of traffic. You have the Metro. Otherwise; why dont rent a car? The signs and the roads make it surprisengly easy to find your way (if you know where you going...). See my Rio pages for more info about car rental.

by bpkprsnl For air travel, one can't beat the convenience of Guarulhos International Airport (GRU). See oncierge.com for more information. Unfortunately, there is no official web page for the airport. From GRU, one can take a shuttle bus to pretty much any part of the city or surrounding suburbs. Here's a picture looking out from the airport exit at the bus stop. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Use airplanes! Travel by companies such as TAM, Varig, Vasp, etc Don't rent cars, traffic is terrible and, unless you have a native to drive you around you will get probably get lost(streets and avenues don't follow a pattern like New York) Use the subway, taxis and buses.
