Vitoria Getting There & Away

Getting There & Away

By plane Vitória’s airport is located really close to the points of interest, near the north end of Camburi beach. It’s about 10min by taxi to most hotels and served by many bus lines. There are daily flights from almost everywhere in the country. By bus Vitória’s long-distance bus station is downtown, also with many bus lines serving it. There are many buses arriving and leaving during the day from cities like Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Brasília and others. It’s around 20 minutes away from most of the hotels by taxi and 30 to 35 minutes by bus. Bus trips are usually long, since ‘close’ in Brazil is something like 500km. The bus trip from Rio de Janeiro takes about 8 hours, and from São Paulo some 14 hours, but most of the bus times are at night, making the trip not as tiring and time-wasting. By train The train station is located in the city of Cariacica (Greater Vitória) and connects the city to Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais. By car The two main roads are the BR-101, which runs south-north just inland of the coast, linking Vitória to Rio de Janeiro, to the south, and Salvador, to the north, and BR-262, that runs east-west, leaving Vitória and going to Belo Horizonte. Another road, local highway 60, runs along the coast southward to Guarapari.
