Sobre esta Trap
Rates in the hipercentro can look attractive, but both guides note it is busy by day and empty at night once shops and offices close. Skip the stretch below Praça Sete around the bus terminal when you pick a room. If you want restaurants within walking distance in the evening, book in Funcionários or Lourdes. For a short business stop, downtown works for its bus and metro links.
