Take Taxis 

The best way to get from the airport into the city is by taxi. One popular company used commonly by recreational and business travelers is Rio Airport Transfer. They are very punctual and can help transport you around the city for the entirety of the time that you are there.

They go almost everywhere tourists want to go in the city. They are even a good option for those that are looking to take some day trips to nearby attractions while they are there. You should also take the bus to the train station that will take you up to look at the Christ the Redeemer Statue.

The Metro System 

The Metro is another great way to get around Rio. It is extremely affordable, reliable, and safe during the day. The metro goes to many of the most important tourist attractions in the area and also goes to the beach.
