LSFA 2025

Brasília is served by an international airport which handles around 19 million passengers a year. As part of the preparation for hosting the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the airport received massive investments, from both the public and private sectors, for the renovation of the passenger’s terminals and the enlargement of the taxiways, which has allowed to almost double the number of positions available for aircrafts and, thus, increase the number of available routes for both domestic and international flights. International flights directly connect Brasília with Santiago (Chile), Panama City (Panama), Miami (USA), Atlanta (USA), and Lisbon (Portugal).

It is also worthy mentioning that Brasília hosts one of the most important regional hubs in Brazil. There are direct flights from all the state capitals, including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Natal, Recife, among other places which are easily accessible directly from other continents and from other countries in the Americas.

Brasília is centrally located and well served by coaches from elsewhere in Brazil, but prices for internal flights are competitive and travel times much shorter.

The airport is just 20 minutes away from the centre, where the hotels are. Taxis cost around € 15.00 and are a convenient way to go from and to the airport.

There is also an Executive Bus from the airport to the Hotels Sectors. It runs every half an hour and stops by the door of or conveniently close to the main hotels in these areas. The trip costs R$ 12.00 (around € 2.50).

Regular buses (lines 102, 102.1) also run from the airport to the main bus terminal in town, are frequent and quite cheap (€ 0.50). From the bus terminal you will need to catch another bus or a taxi to get to other places. If you do not speak Portuguese or do not know your way around, this is not recommended for you.

Brasília has a vast number of hotels. They are located in the central area, closer to the cross between the Monumental and the Residential Axes, about 10 minutes by car to the events venue.
