Porto Alegre to Bergen Flights

Salgado Filho International Airport

When you're ready to leave the bustling metropolis of Porto Alegre, you'll be flying out of Salgado Filho International Airport, located 4.3 miles from the centre of the city. One of the busiest airports in Brazil, this beautiful modern facility receives domestic and international flights from cities all over the globe, including Lisbon, Miami, and Panama City.

Transportation to the Airport

If you want to take a taxi to the airport, you could hire one of the many red or white metered taxis that are seen all around town. The red taxis are generally cheaper, with average rates of R$8 from the centre of town to the airport. The white taxis only service the airport, and they're considered a lot more reliable for people who are unfamiliar with the city. Rates can be as high as R$20. There is a train station that services the airport, but the fact that it's located a bit of a distance from the airport makes it somewhat inconvenient for travellers.

Weather in Bergen

Because of Bergen's unique location far north, on a peninsula, and surrounded by mountains, the temperatures tend to be chilly all year long. The warmest days fall in July, with an average daily temperature of 15°C, although the high can reach 18°C. The months of December through January see daily temperatures of 2°C to 3°C, so you won't want to forget your gloves and hat.

What to Do in Bergen

Bergen is busiest in the month of May, with many local festivals and dry weather for those who are into mountain hiking and climbing. Rates for hotel rooms booked during this month may be higher, so you'll want to book ahead on ebookers. June through August offer slightly less crowded conditions, making those months a great option for travel. Take a walk along the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf to get a feel for the history of the area, or hike to the top of Mount Floyen for fabulous views of Bergen and the harbour. Bergen and the surrounding area offer a decidedly different holiday experience.
