Copacabana from Rio de Janeiro Airport (GIG) by private transfer: €30 per car (1–3 people) or €45 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 26 km via RJ-071, roughly 30 min when traffic is light and 30–40 min when it is not.
Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall (Desembarque) of the terminal your flight lands at, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, just after the exit from baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.
Copacabana lies in the South Zone on the Atlantic side of the city, about 26 km from Galeão. From the airport the drive follows the Linha Vermelha to the centre, then the Aterro do Flamengo along the park and beaches of Flamengo and Botafogo, and passes through one of the short tunnels, Túnel Novo or Túnel Velho, into Copacabana. In heavy traffic the Linha Amarela and Túnel Rebouças are an alternative. On Sundays and holidays one side of Avenida Atlântica is closed to cars for leisure use.
Copacabana Beach runs about 4 km from Leme in the north to the Forte de Copacabana in the south, divided into numbered lifeguard posts. Avenida Atlântica on the seafront is lined with hotels and apartment blocks, and the busier shopping streets, Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana and Rua Barata Ribeiro, run parallel a block or two inland. The metro stations Cardeal Arcoverde, Siqueira Campos and Cantagalo serve the district. Arpoador and Ipanema begin just past the fort.
Public transport instead: Mobi-Rio (BRT Transcarioca) + MetrôRio bus + metro BRT Transcarioca Parador, then MetrôRio Line 2 from BRT stations Galeão Tom Jobim 1 and Galeão Tom Jobim 2 (arrivals level) to Copacabana metro stations Cardeal Arcoverde, Siqueira Campos or Cantagalo (BRT to Vicente de Carvalho, MetrôRio Line 2, change to Line 1), BRT daily 04:00-00:00; metro Mon-Sat 05:00-00:00, Sun and holidays 07:00-23:00, 1 change. No direct rail or metro link from Galeão to Copacabana.
