Airport/Hotel Tranfers in Brazil

Filed under: Ask Us - April 6th, 2006

Your Question:

HI, I’m visiting Rio in September and also going to the Iguaçu Falls. I haven’t arranged a transfer to the airport at Rio from my hotel or from the airport at Iguaçu to my hotel. Will it be easy to arrange outbound and inbound when I get to Brazil? Thanks

Our Reply:

Brazil has become very popular in the last couple years, so the cities are now prepared to receive tourists. You shouldn’t have a problem getting into your hotel, or into the airport. In Brazil there are many taxi rides available in the big airports such as the one you are going go to in Rio and Foz do Iguaçu. Now, if you don’t want to deal with finding a taxi once you are here, you can just ask your hotel to arrange that for you. Same thing to go from your hotel to the airport, just ask the front desk, and they will easily arrange a ride for you. Some hotels might even provide free airport shuttle services, and even private car transfer. Good luck and write to us if you have any further questions.

Dress Code in Rio de Janeiro

Filed under: Ask Us - April 6th, 2006

Your Question:

I like to wear shorts and t shirts when on holiday. Are there any places in Rio’s Hotels, clubs or bars that enforce a dress code (long trousers).

Our Answer:

If you are going out to a bar/club in Rio you will not be allowed to enter if you have shorts or sandals on. You need to be dressed sport casual, otherwise they will not let you in. In Hotels, you can wear shorts and t-shirts, as long as you feel comfortable with what people use there. Different hotels, clubs and bars have ifferent dress codes, so some of them can enforce you to wear nicer clothes, but that is very unusual. As long as you have your jeans and t-shirt on you should be fine. You may want to write to your specific hotel and ask them what their dress code is.
