Arrival at airport
At the Palmas airport you will find a Informações Turisticas stand, where you can get information about hotels.
Some international car rental companies have a desk at the airport.
Taxis are available at the front outside.
Whenever you get lost, you can count on the Brazilian hospitality. Many people will stop what they are doing, to give you directions, or offer you the hospitality of their homes.
On your first visit to Palmas, you’ll be amazed to notice how small the capital really is. The center is where most hotels, restaurants, banks and shops are located. All within easy walking distance of each other. The busstation is 10 minutes south from the center and the airport 20 minutes.
Citizens of Palmas, called ‘Palmenses’, take the motobike, car or the bus to cross the city. As temperatures are high and busrides can be really hot, we suggest to take a taxi at the moment you arrive.
