Gramado lacks a major international airport. Fly into Porto Alegre (POA) and take a 1.5-hour road transfer. Within the city, taxis and ride-hailing apps are recommended due to narrow streets and limited parking.
Summer (Dec-Feb) offers pleasant weather for outdoor activities, while winter (Jun-Aug) brings cold temperatures but festive charm. Visit year-round based on temperature preference, as the Serra Gaúcha climate varies significantly by season.
