The
RodoviA?ria
in JoA?o Pessoa is conveniently near the city centre. Any bus from the
local bus station
, opposite the RodoviA?ria's entrance, takes you to the city's one unmistakeable, central landmark: the circular lake, the Parque Solon de Lucena, which everybody simply calls
Lagoa
, spectacularly bordered by tall palms imported from Portugal. All
bus routes
converge on the circular Anel ViA?rio skirting the lake, some en route to the beach districts, others heading further afield - to the northern beaches, the neighbouring town of Cabedelo and the village of Penha to the south of the city. Buses for the beach can also be caught directly from the RodoviA?ria; they're marked "TambaA?" (#510 or 513).
The Presidente Castro Pinto
airport
(tel 083/232-1200) lies just 11km west of the city centre and is connected to the RodoviA?ria by regular buses; taxis into town cost around $13. Other useful information
