Fortaleza is geared towards catering for visitors. The
main information office
of the state tourist office, SETUR (Mon-Fri 7am-6pm, Sat 8am-2pm, Sun 8am-noon; tel 085/212-3566), is in the Centro de Turismo in the centre, at Rua Senador Pompeu 350, and should be your first port of call; the staff know their stuff, and are especially good on the complicated bus journeys that are often necessary to get to the out-of-town beaches. The
tourist information posts
are also friendly and efficient; they give out free city maps, and if you're planning to travel in the state outside Fortaleza you should stock up on the relevant information here. There are information posts at the airport (24hr; tel 085/477-1667) and at the RodoviA?ria (daily 6am-6pm; tel 085/256-4080). The best maps of Fortaleza are usually to be obtained from the municipal tourist organization,
FORTUR
, who have an information post (daily 8am-5pm; tel 085/252-1444) on PraA§a do Ferreira in the centre.
You can
change money
at numerous places down on the beach and, in the city centre, at Tropical Viagens, Rua BarA?o do Rio Branco 1233 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 8am-noon). Other useful information
