How to get from Galeão to Santos Dumont airport.

Today I will tell you how to get from the Galeão International Airport to Santos Dumont Airport, both in Rio de Janeiro.




People who travel a lot know that sometimes it is necessary, even to save on tickets, move from one airport to another or to the bus stations and vice versa. Taking a taxi or Uber is always an option, of course, but for those who want to save money, especially when they are with their family, that is, double, triple or even quadruple cost, you may want to see other options.




Remembering that in many large cities you may end up being the victim of a malicious taxi driver who goes a long way or even takes unnecessary turns to absorb your money.




Frescão – Bus Galeão Santos Dumont

Line 2145 – Galeão al Santos Dumont

Goes through:

  • Galeão
  • Novo Rio bus station
  • Presidente Vargas Avenue
  • Lapa
  • Santos Dumont

It costs 10 reais per ticket.

You will not have a headache and you will feel comfortable with this option, but it can take much longer than Uber or Taxi. The frescoes that leave Galeão have air conditioning, reclining chairs and a luggage rack so you can store your bags without having to load them. This is the advantage of taking a Galeao Santos Dumont bus.

Taxi or Uber

Uber is the most recommended option, especially if it is in 3 or 4 people. It comes relatively cheap and you will arrive faster and more comfortable.




The taxi ranges between $ 50 and $ 100 and can be a good option if you want exclusives and have friends to share the price. Usually, four people fit in a taxi. The good thing is that you will not have to wait for a bus to leave, for example, and you will have a private car.

We recommend that you take a taxi with a closed price, as there are some drivers who can trick you into spending a lot of money. Taxi companies are right in front of the airport arrivals area.
