How to get to Feira de São Cristóvão by Metro

For this attraction you may want to make use of one of Rio's regular city buses to avoid a long walk from the Metro. Keep in mind that you will require a separate cash fare for each trip on the bus. We've carefully chosen the simplest and least confusing option to facilitate your trip using a single bus each way and arriving and returning from the same points. Make your way to Estácio Station on Metro Line 1 and catch bus 209 at the westbound stop on Rua Ulysses Guimaraes located just north of the metro station. Exit the bus on Campo São Cristóvão across from the parking area (next to the gothic style building with spires on top) and walk ahead to the crosswalk, cross the road and walk back to the market entrance. For the return trip take bus 635 from the same stop. It loops around the São Cristóvão Market and makes its way back towards Estácio Station. Exit the bus at 119 Avenida Paulo De Frontin. Cross the street beneath the elevated roadway and double back (north). Take the first right onto Rua Joaquim Palhares (Street with tree lined boulevard) and follow it back to Estácio Station (5 Minutes).

If you don't mind a longish walk (approx. 23 minutes) from the Metro you can get off at São Cristóvão Station. Exit and walk over to the north side of the train tracks via the pedestrian overpass and descend down the left ramp. Cross both sections of the road and follow the sidewalk to your right along the edge of the park on your right all the way to the traffic round-about. Take the road to your left (Av. Rotary Internacional) then go right on Rua do Parque, left on Rua Fonseca Teles and right on Av. do Exercito. Continue straight ahead and you will see the Market.
