Where to stay in Barreirinhas: best location
Due to the size of the city, knowing where to stay in Barreirinhas is not a mystery either: the closer to the river and the city center, the better the location.
We stayed in a hotel in the center with direct access to the river via a pier. It was a great choice.
Why stay in the center of Barreirinhas
The reference is Av. Beira Rio, the main street that contains most of the city’s restaurants and tourist infrastructure. If possible, try to find a hotel right on the riverbank.
As many of the tours in the region are done by boat, many of these hotels provide departures directly to the river – the boat parks in front of the hotel to pick you up and then stops at the pier.
However, the most economical options are on the adjacent streets or in the shopping center.
Avoid hotels further away unless you have a car. The region may not be the safest to walk the streets at night.
