Porto Alegre → Porto Alegre City Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Porto Alegre Airport (POA) to Porto Alegre City Centre costs €30 per car for 1–3 passengers and €45 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 10 km; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the public arrivals area (desembarque) of Terminal 1, after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Salgado Filho airport sits on the northern edge of Porto Alegre, so the run into the historic centre is short, around 10 km. The usual route follows Avenida Sertório and Avenida Presidente Castello Branco, the fast road that runs beside the Trensurb tracks and the bus station into the centre, ending near the Mercado Público. Outside rush hours the drive takes 15 to 20 minutes; weekday peaks on Castello Branco and around the Rodoviária can double that.

The Centro Histórico climbs from the Mercado Público and Praça XV up to Praça da Matriz, where the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Piratini Palace and the Theatro São Pedro stand together. Rua dos Andradas, the old Rua da Praia, is a busy shopping street with pedestrian stretches, and the Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana and the Usina do Gasômetro sit near the Guaíba waterfront. Many visitors stay a little further out in Moinhos de Vento, Bom Fim or Cidade Baixa, all within 3 to 5 km of the centre and easy to reach by car.

Public transport instead: Trensurb metro Line 1 (Mercado - Novo Hamburgo) from Aeroporto station to Mercado station (Mercado Público, Centro Histórico), trains run daily from 05:00 to 23:00.
