Plan your time ashore

For a visit to Santos Sao Paulo Brazil, check the current arrival and departure times, the actual berth or tender arrangements, and the distance between the port and the places you hope to see. Leave a comfortable margin for returning to the ship.

Solo travelers may prefer an organized excursion, independent exploring or a quieter day on board. Ask about excursion availability, walking distances, accessibility needs and local transport before making plans. Entry requirements and local conditions need current confirmation.

Standing on an island, Santos is best known for its commerce, but it is also a holiday resort with magnificent beaches, plenty of shops, and a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. One of the city's most attractive features is the Orchid Gardens. This serene and shady oasis boasts a wide variety of lush, tropical vegetation, a bird sanctuary and an open-air cage containing humming birds of 20 different species. Santos serves as the gateway to Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo lays claim to have long surpassed Rio as Brazil's cultural center, and is home to a lively music and arts world.Caution: Beware of pickpockets around the beaches and on crowded sidewalks. Don't wear expensive watches or jewelry or carry large sums of money on you when going ashore. Pier Information. The ship is scheduled to dock at the port of Santos. It is about a 10-minute drive to downtown Santos. Taxis are generally parked outside the main gate. It may be difficult to find English-speaking drivers. Be sure you agree on the fare before departing the port. The distance to Sao Paulo is 45 miles.
Shopping. As a popular resort, Santos boasts plenty of shops. Items such as leather articles, semi-precious and precious stones, ceramics and coffee are popular buys. The most convenient shopping can be found in the mall across from the Hotel Parque Balneario.
Cuisine. The restaurant at the Hotel Parque Balneario may be your best bet. Otherwise, a variety of local restaurants offer a choice of seafood, barbecue-style meats, and fast food. Stay away from leafy salads, and make sure your food is well cooked. Drink only bottled water and beverages.
Other Sights Marine Museum. In a quiet street of the old town is this museum in a private house. Museo de Mar features an unusual collection of relics connected to the life in and around the ocean.
