Exclamation Travel between Sao Paulo and Rio

I am planning to book a trip to Brazil and will be flying to Sao Paulo and want to go from there to Rio and then back to the U K. Is there a train link between the two cities and how can I find information about it?
Can anyone let me know. Thanks

Its about 300 miles Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro . You'll will spend at least 8 hours on a bus. There are several flights from GRU to GIG for a little over 100 reais (around 60 usd). It's worth the extra money unless you are wanting to see the countryside and small towns.

A ticket from Sao Paulo to Rio is about $R80 (about $30).The terminal is Tiete (Terminal Rodoviário do Tietê), and you only have to buy it in advance if it's a holiday.

By the way, if I were you I'd catch a flight. It's much safer to get a commuter flight, and it only takes 35 minutes and costs about $85.

Smile best way to get from sao paulo to rio

for me the best way to get from Sao Paulo to Rio is by plane as it only takes 50 minutes, though it's most expensive way for sure as it costs something like $220 round trip ticket. If you have about 8 hours to spend on a bus, then the bus is the cheapest option costing about $120 (around 200 Brazil reais ) for a round-trip ticket.

Hi! Sao Paulo is not close to Rio de Janeiro. Is very far away, in fact! There are no train, either. So you can and drive the 420 kilometers that are between the 2 cities (4 or 5 hours) or better, improve you time and take and you get there in 1 hour. I definitly recommend you the flight, because Brazil is so great that you will want to see everything and take a lot of pictures. Regards and have a nice trip!

Default how to get from Rio to Sao Paulo

It does sound like a quick flight is the best answer on how to get from Rio to Sao Paulo. Although, a bus trip would give you the chance to see the scenery and maybe meet some of the locals.

Post driving from sao paulo to rio

i've driven from Rio to Sao Paulo, though I wouldn't recommended as it takes ages to drive out and drive into each city centre (It took us about an 50 minutes to drive the last 9 miles).

Having said this, it's still worth doing at least once just for the scenery, which is absolutely amazing. Btw, do plan accordingly cos it isn't an easy or quick drive..it'll take you a full day either way.

Also, the highway between Rio and Sao Paolo is good but the signage is poor so you can easily miss the exits. Avoid the back roads as they aren't very good.
