Salvador's Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (SSA) sits 28 kilometres east of the centre, with direct flights from major Brazilian cities and seasonal European connections to Lisbon, Paris, and Madrid. From the airport, the air-conditioned executive bus links to Praça da Sé in the Pelourinho; taxis and ride-shares run too.
Long-distance buses arrive at the rodoviária north of the centre, with overnight services from Rio (28 hours), São Paulo (32 hours), and shorter runs from Recife and Maceió.
