Eduardo Gomes International Airport: where to stay, areas and…

Eduardo Gomes airport is the main gateway to the Amazon and is about 14 km from downtown Manaus, reachable in 20-25 minutes by taxi or on bus 306. Those with a dawn flight or a late-night arrival, or who just need to change planes for the interior, find it convenient to stay near the terminal. Those who instead want to visit the Teatro Amazonas and the historic center, or work in the city, are better off in Adrianópolis or the heart of Manaus: traffic on Avenida Djalma Batista can lengthen travel times during rush hour.
