Transfer to/from - Porto Alegre airport (POA)

Salgado Filho Airport (POA) features a complete ground transportation infrastructure that connects not only to downtown Porto Alegre but also to the important tourist destinations of the Serra Gaúcha (Gramado and Canela).

Ride-sharing Apps

Uber and 99 services are widely used. The airport has designated a specific area for meetings between passengers and drivers to avoid congestion on the main road.

Meeting Point:
You must go to Floor 1 (Arrivals Level) of Terminal 1. Exit through Gate 2 and cross to the central curb, where you will see the "App de Transporte" signs.

Metro (Trensurb / Aeromóvel)

How it works:
1. Take the Aeromóvel at the station located on the upper level of Terminal 1 (in front of check-in).
2. Get off at the Trensurb Aeroporto station.
3. Take the train towards Mercado station (Historic Center) or towards the North (Novo Hamburgo).
