Best time to visit

Because Belem is found within a tropical rainforest zone, there really isn't a dry season for tourism. However, if travelers explore the city and its surrounding landscape during the months of August, September and October, then less rainfall will hinder the experience. Year round, the temperature stays a constant 30°C or thereabouts.

Car rental in Belem Airport

Driving around the city is easy, but at night the outer areas should not be driven around. The airport offers several different car rental companies so it is best to compare car hire online for the best options when it comes to pricing and models. The main roads in the area are in good conditions but drivers should watch out for local motorists, who frequently ignore road rules.
