Luxury hotels often offer a shuttle service, usually by prior arrangement. There is also a second airport, Santos Dumont airport, located twenty minutes from the city. It is largely restricted to internal flights and is also served by taxi and bus services. Rio's public transport system is cheap and effective. Buses are the most popular form of transport as there are lines connecting the entire city, but keep an eye out for pickpockets.
Taxis are easily available and the subway system, although small, is safe and reliable.
Driving around the city in a rental car is notoriously difficult so it is preferable to hire a car and driver. Copyright, terms and conditions.
