🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Brasília International Airport (BSB) → Rodoviária do Plano Piloto
💡 Bus line 0.113 goes from airport to the central bus station. From there, catch a local bus or taxi to the hotel — it's a 10-minute ride. Avoid this with lots of luggage; the bus can get crowded.
Rodoviária do Plano Piloto → Planalto Bittar Hotel (stop: 109 Sul)
💡 Take any 'Eixão' bus heading south from the Rodoviária — they stop at 109 Sul. Walk one block west to the hotel. Pay with a rechargeable card or exact change; drivers don't give change.
Rodoviária do Plano Piloto → Planalto Bittar Hotel (nearest station: 108 Sul)
💡 The metro doesn't go direct to the airport. Use the bus to Rodoviária first. Hotel is a 10-minute walk from 108 Sul station along the Eixo Rodoviário — cross the grass axis carefully. Buy a Bilhete Único card for easy tap-and-go.
Brasília International Airport (BSB) → Planalto Bittar Hotel
💡 Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Rideshare apps like Uber and 99 work well too; usually cheaper by 10-15 reais, but pickup is on the departures level roof.

Top Attractions in Brasilia
💡 Go on a Sunday when traffic is quiet and you can really take in the scale. The changing of the guard happens at 9:30am on some days.
💡 Wednesday and Thursday afternoons are quietest. Check the website for free guided tours in English. The neighbouring National Library has a good free exhibition too.
💡 Visit just before noon on a sunny day to see the light beam through the glass panels onto the altar. Skip the elevator – the spiral ramp is worth the walk.
💡 Rent a bike from the stands near the south entrance for about R$5 an hour. The 5km loop around the lake is the best way to see it all. Avoid weekends after 10am when it gets crowded.
💡 Go at sunset for the best light over the lake and presidential palace. There's a small craft market at the base on weekends. Bring binoculars if you have them.
