Getting into Recife

There’s a good range of transport options directly from Guararapes-Gilberto Freyre Airport, whether you want to take public transport or taxi.

The most efficient way to reach downtown Recife is with the MetroRec Subway system. The Southern Line stops at the airport (Aeroporto) and goes straight into Recife.

There are also two bus lines which run to the airport. Line 033 leaves from directly outside the terminal building every 20 minutes, and takes 15 minutes to reach Boa Viagem and 30 minutes to reach the city centre of Recife. Line 152, 153, 161, and 163 can be caught on the other side of the road, and will all drop you in the city centre.

There’s also the air conditioned “Aeroporto opcional” bus, which costs R$2.70. If you don’t want to take public transport, the airport also has a taxi rank. It costs roughly R$10 from the airport to Boa Viagem, and R$25 to the city centre. It’s always worth asking the taxi driver for an estimate before getting in, of course.
