Hotel suggestions:
From Galeão International Airport to FGV:
We suggest taking an Uber or a taxi.
You can take a taxi at the exit of the terminal. Aerocoop/Aerotaxi company has a counter; the ride to Rio's main areas is about 60-120 reais; it can be paid by card at the counter or by cash to the driver.
If you prefer to ride with Uber, follow the signs that start in the baggage claim. Uber has a dedicated parking area.

Get around in Rio de Janeiro:
Rio has an efficient metro system (https://www.metrorio.com.br/) that links all the city's main neighborhoods. Each ride costs 7.50 reais. You can pay by contactless VISA credit/debit card or buy tickets at the metro station counters.
Taxis are also safe and not expensive, with a dedicated app, Taxi.Rio (payment by pix/card/cash at the taxi). Other apps can be used for taxis, such as Taxi99.
Uber is a valid and safe alternative.
