Getting to the city
Guararapes International is in Recife itself, so the journey to the city is usually short, yet rush-hour traffic can still eat into your schedule; choose official taxis or app-based cars, ignore touts in the terminal, and allow extra time at busy periods. In the first hours after landing, keep documents to hand and confirm where your return flight departs.
