Sao Paulo’s Guarulhos International Airport, also known as Cumbica Airport, serves as Brazil’s main international gateway and a critical passenger hub due to its central location. As a modern and busy airport, you will find plenty of facilities available as you prepare for your departure.
When heading to the airport, you have several transportation options. Buses from the airport and independent operators offer extensive services. Taxis are available outside the terminals, and many hotels can organise transport for you. For parking, you can choose between two main locations: one is about 2km away with regular bus shuttle services to the terminals, and a short-stay ‘Park and Board’ car park is located just four minutes away. Note that Line 13 of Sao Paulo's suburban rail system (CPTM) is currently under construction, aiming to operate this year.
Passengers departing from Sao Paulo often utilise Terminal 3, Hall F. The open plan design of this recently revamped terminal simplifies locating check-in desks. Currency exchange facilities and ATMs are conveniently positioned throughout. For refreshments, you will find numerous cafés offering light snacks and drinks, mainly focused around the mezzanine area in Terminal 3. You can also explore a selection of retail outlets selling premium quality goods and accessories or relax in the large lounge areas before boarding. You may even be interested to know that the Tropic of Capricorn passes through the airport's southern tip.
Hangzhou is a major city in China's Yangtze Delta. It is not only a global commercial hub, but also a destination of extraordinary natural beauty and profound cultural heritage.
Discover why Hangzhou has inspired poets and artists for centuries, particularly the stunning West Lake Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where ancient charm meets modern sophistication. You must explore the surrounding hills, walk the picturesque causeways, or take a peaceful boat ride to admire the legendary Ten Scenes of the West Lake. Be sure to visit the iconic Broken Bridge, celebrated for its breath-taking water views.
The city’s rich history is also evident in its spiritual architecture. You can see the impressive Six Harmonies Pagoda, which offers spectacular outlooks of the Qiantang River, and find tranquillity at the Baochu Pagoda situated on the north shore of West Lake. End off your trip with a visit to the traditional Guo’s Villa garden, which embodies the beauty of water-focused Chinese design.
