Walk if you don’t find transport

There are difficulties in traveling on public transport. The cab drivers don’t have so much knowledge about the perfect views. Metro service is available but it is restricted to some specific areas and does not provide facility throughout the city. One reason is the steep architecture of the city. Traveling alone in Cab may cost more. Get a Viva Viagem card, it is valid for train, metro and trams extra. You can use it for a day. Purchasing this card, you can easily go to hills and ferries.
