Car rental in Campina Grande

The adventure begins on the road. But remember, in Brazil, we drive on the right side. It may take a little getting used to for those accustomed to the left side driving in the UK.

Exploring the City

Feel the rhythm of local life unfold as you drive around the city neighborhoods. Be aware though; traffic can get a bit congested during peak hours, so plan your route wisely.

Epic Driving Routes

A popular scenic route is the road to Lagoa Seca. Heading north out of the city, it takes you through beautiful landscapes until you reach the peaceful town. Enjoy its remarkable green landscapes and intriguing cafes.

Seeing the Sights

Amongst other attractions, Campina Grande boasts the fascinating 'People's Park' featuring an open-air museum and science centre. Let your hired car lead you to the stunning Açude Velho - an iconic old reservoir in the heart of the city surrounded by sculptures, including a tribute to Luiz Gonzaga.

Beach Day-tours

From Campina Grande, fantastic beaches are just a two-hour drive away. Tambaba Beach in Conde and Pipa Beach in Tibau do Sul are two of the most beautiful in the region. It's worth the drive!

Parking in the City

In downtown, you'll find both street parking and monitored car parks. The city centre stacks up with parking garages, which charge a fee. The locals recommend "Estacionamento Central" for its convenience and reasonable rates.

Seasonal Events

The most significant event in the city by far is the 'Festa de São João', celebrated in June. It's a huge party in honor of St John and one of the most significant cultural events in Brazil. Book early to avoid disappointment!

Currency and Climate

The local currency is the Real (R$), and payment cards are accepted in most places. The climate is hot and tropical, much different than most parts of the UK, so bring plenty of sunscreens!

The People and Language

The Campina Grande people are friendly and welcoming. Portuguese is the spoken language, but English is understood in most places frequented by tourists.

With these tips and your rental car, Campina Grande is ready to unfold its magic around you. Safe journey!
