Getting from Recife Airport (REC) to Olinda takes about 25 min by car on an empty road (25–35 min in heavy traffic) over 17 km via PE-008. Our private transfer costs €30 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €45 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall (Desembarque) of the passenger terminal, just after the exit from baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Olinda lies just north of Recife, around 17 km from the airport. The drive crosses the centre of Recife or follows the riverside avenues past Boa Vista, then continues along Avenida Agamenon Magalhães and the coast road to Olinda. Allow 25 to 40 minutes, more in rush hour. The historic town sits on a hill above the beach of Bairro Novo, and some of its steep cobbled lanes are narrow, so the car stops at a square such as Praça do Carmo or near the hotel entrance.
Olinda is one of the oldest towns in Brazil and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its colonial houses, churches and convents climb the hill to Alto da Sé, where the cathedral square gives a wide view over the sea and the towers of Recife. The Mosteiro de São Bento, the Convento de São Francisco and the craft shops of Rua do Amparo are within walking distance of each other. During carnival the streets fill with frevo bands and giant puppets, and car access to the old town is restricted.
Public transport: There is no direct public transport from the airport to Olinda; Olinda has no metro station.
