Directions:

From Salgado Filho Airport (POA) you have the following options to get SESC.

• Cabs: Cabs are the most direct option to get SESC, the average rate is around R$ 18 (they use taximeter, so there wouldn't be big differences). They are a red alike colour (there are some white with conditioned air, not needed in June since it's fall) and can be taken at arrival valet parking.
• Metro/bus: Another (cheaper) option is to take Metro to downtown until the last station (Mercado) then take a bus to SESC, rate for Metro is R$ 0.75 and for Bus R$ 1.45. To take the Metro you will have to buy a ticket on metro station before. Here is a map for Airport station. And here is a map for Mercado downtown station. They both have also pictures of them.
