How to get to Ibirapuera Park by metro
Nearest station, connecting buses and an honest step-by-step guide to reach Ibirapuera Park.
No metro station is located at the entrance to Ibirapuera Park. The most practical option is to get off at Brigadeiro station (Line 2 (Green)) and, on leaving, take a bus for about 10 minutes, or walk about 25 minutes to Gate 3. AACD-Servidor station (Line 5 (Lilac)) is another gateway, on the Planetarium side.
Overview
Ibirapuera Park is São Paulo’s most famous urban park: 158 hectares with lakes, cycle paths and the architectural complex designed by Oscar Niemeyer, which houses the MAM, the Museu Afro Brasil, the Bienal and the Planetarium. As the park lies between neighbourhoods, there is no metro station at the gates — the most realistic option is to combine the metro with a short stretch of bus or walking. Brigadeiro (Line 2 Green) and AACD-Servidor (Line 5 Lilac) are the nearest stations.
