[edit] Get in

[edit] By bus

Juiz de Fora is on the way between Belo Horizonte (4 hours) and Rio de Janeiro (3 hours). São Paulo is approximately 7 hours away. The city is also a regional bus hub and has frequent links to nearby cities.

Buses leave from the main bus station (rodoviária) at Av. Brasil, 9501. (32) 3215-7696. The bus terminal is connected to the downtown area by taxis and frequent regular buses that drop passengers near the very central corner of Av. Getulio Vargas and Av. Rio Branco.

[edit] By plane

Juiz de Fora (IATA: JDF) has daily flights to/from São Paulo by the Pantanal carrier, with connections to other cities. Many budget-conscious travellers, however, take a cheaper flight to Rio or Belo Horizonte then shift to buses to finish the trip.

The airport is located 6 km from the city center, at Av. Guadalajara s/nº. Phone (32) 3233-1089 (Fax:(32) 3690-8330)
