Governor Andre Franco Montoro Intl. Airport

Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport is the primary airport serving the city of Sao Paulo Brazil. The airport is locally referred to as Cumbica Airport and is located 25 km from the city center.

The easiest methods of transportation to get to the airport from the city center is by taxi or bus. Renting a car is another viable option to get to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport; there are many rental car companies located throughout the city.  

Taxi

Taxis are a convenient transportation alternative to get to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport from the city center. The safest taxis can be found on the main streets; we recommend avoiding any taxis on the smaller, side streets. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the airport from the city center by taxi. You can also have the hotel you are staying at help arrange a taxi for you.

Bus

Another easy method of transportation to get to the airport from the city center is by bus. Buses collect passengers from the bus stops located throughout the city.

Rental car fares are determined according to the amount of days the vehicle is rented for. Renting a car for one day just to go to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport will be more expensive than taking a cab, making it a less desirable transportation alternative to get to the airport.

Train – Metro

There’s been a recent switch in Athens from Greek to Latin alphabet for station names, however the Latin alphabet is not yet used everywhere. This is why it’s probably a good idea to keep an idea of how many stops you need to go when using public transport. You should pay attention to this detail is you take the train from Venizelos Airport to the centre.

The M3 line goes all the way to Sintagma from the airport. Sintagma is the 15th stop. Once you’ve reached Sintagma Square, the home of the Greek Parliament, then you can reach Omonia, another important centre, in just 3 stops by taking the metro. There is also a train line going directly to Port Pire from the airport.

It’s possible to reach everywhere in the city by taking a taxi from the airport, however the fixed fare is only applied to Sintagma, Monastiraki, and Omonia. The good conversation of Athenian taxi drivers can be an additional bonus.

Car Rental

You can explore the various areas of Athens and Greece by renting a car at Venizelos Airport. The airport does offer its own car rental service alongside the many car rental agencies. Once you’ve rented your car you should travel 9km along the A64 and then join up with the Attiki highway. This will take you directly to centre of Athens.
