Vitória is very well located in an easy accessible place, so it is very easy to get here.
No matter if you come by air, ground or sea, you will always have plenty of options to come ... !

By plane
Coming from everywhere, except from South America, you will probably need to take a flight either to Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo (main Brazilian cities), and then take a connecting flight to Vitória. No matter how distant you come from and how many hours you spend in your first flight, you should not spend more than one extra hour to flight  from any one of these cities to Vitória.
There's only one airport in Vitória - Eurico Salles Airport, also known as "Aeroporto de Goiabeiras"  -  but we are served by all the main Brazilian airlines.
For better planning your trip, please take a look at VARIG Airline site on the Web for a full schedule of flights arriving to Vitória daily from all the main cities over the world.

By train
There is one daily passenger train from Belo Horizonte (MG) to Vitória and vice-versa. The train is equiped with modern communication and security devices, however, the trip is not quite fast as the locomotive does not come in a straight way to Vitória.
There are three types of tickets: first class, second class and executive class. Second class is for the simplest (and cheapest) sit, and EXECUTIVE class (not first class!) is the best. The train tickets are very cheap, so we recommend you to buy an executive class ticket, specially because the carriages for this class are the only ones with air conditioned...!
During the trip you can have your meals in a restaurant car. The journey from BH to Vitória starts at dawn and ends about three hours after sunset, so you can enjoy watching the landscape under the daylight of a tropical sun.

By car
Freeway BR-101 comes from Rio de Janeiro (RJ), which is 521 km distant, and reaches Vitória from the South, crossing the city and going to Salvador (BA) which is about 1200 km distant to the North. From West, you may come here by freeway BR-262, which comes from Belo Horizonte (MG), located 524 km distant. If you come from the south of the State, there is also the option of taking a scenic bayside road called Rodovia do Sol, which will offers you miles and miles of tropical beach landscapes.
Unfortunately, some freeways in Brazil are not quite well maintained and signalized, so you should drive carefully and allow extra time for your journey, specially if you come driving and doesn't know the way.
