Getting from Salvador Airport (SSA) to Barra takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–45 min in heavy traffic) over 30 km via Avenida Luís Viana Filho. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 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 public arrivals area of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, 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.
Barra is the seafront district at the southern tip of the Salvador peninsula, where the Bay of All Saints meets the Atlantic, about 30 km from the airport. The drive usually follows the Paralela (Avenida Luís Viana) into the city and continues through Iguatemi and Vale do Canela, or runs along the coastal avenues through Pituba, Rio Vermelho and Ondina. Without traffic the trip takes about 35 to 45 minutes; evening rush hours and big events can add a good deal more.
The Farol da Barra lighthouse stands inside the Forte de Santo Antônio da Barra, which houses the Nautical Museum of Bahia, at the point of the peninsula. To the north-west the calm Porto da Barra beach faces the bay, and to the east Avenida Oceânica runs along the Atlantic towards Ondina, where many beach hotels stand. Barra and Ondina form one of the main circuits of the Salvador carnival, when streets close to traffic for several days. Graça and Vitória, with residential towers and museums, lie just inland.
Public transport instead: CCR Metrô Bahia (Motiva) metro Line 2 (Blue) Aeroporto - Acesso Norte, then Line 1 (Red) Acesso Norte - Lapa from Aeroporto station (free CCR Metrô Bahia shuttle bus from the airport terminal) to Lapa station, about 3 km from Barra, daily 05:00 to 00:00, 1 change. No direct rail link to Barra: the metro (with a change at Acesso Norte) ends at Lapa, from where city buses continue to the Barra seafront.
