Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Stay in the historic center or downtown areas to walk to colonial churches, tree-filled squares, and traditional architecture. The newer district offers modern skyscrapers and amenities for those preferring urban convenience.

Getting Around

Belém International Airport connects to Brazil, South America, North America, and Europe (Lisbon). Local transport relies on buses and taxis. The city lies 100km upriver from the Atlantic, accessible via the Pará River system.

Best Season

Visit year-round, keeping tropical weather in mind. The city is lush with mango trees. The dry season is generally better for deep Amazon rainforest excursions from this gateway city.
