• The main points of arrival in Rio de Janeiro are Galeao Airport (Tom Jobim) and Santos Dumont Airport. So, we have selected a few ways for you to get to the Ipanema Beach Hostel in comfort and come by the route that is most viable for you.
• Leaving Galeao, you can take a BRT - Transcarioca bus, which goes through neighborhoods in Rio's suburbs, from the Alvorada Terminal in Barra da Tijuca, to the airport. The buses are articulated and air-conditioned. You can also use a BRT - Transcarioca and complete the trip with the subway. In addition, you can use a transfer service offered by ShuttleRio and SulTransfer.
• The next alternatives can be used from both arrival points, and are practical and comfortable as well. The first is the 'Onibus Frescao da Real Auto Onibus', which is also air-conditioned and has an executive bus size. You can also use more common means such as cab, special cab, and Uber (which is regulated in Rio, so stay calm!). Now if you like to drive, renting a car may be the best solution, in both airports, there are counters that offer this service.
• If you arrive at Santos Dumont Airport, you can take a transfer, but in this case the service is irregular. There is also the possibility of using a conventional bus, but it is a service with little or no comfort.
• Now below, we list the means of transport with values, so you can calculate the cost-benefit and run to enjoy our hostel soon!
