São Leopoldo

São Leopoldo is an industrial city in the Grande Porto Alegre region of Rio Grande do Sul. It is known for its German immigrant community that keeps German traditions alive in Brazil.

Locals call it the TRENSURB. You can take the train from the airport to many stops in São Leopoldo and to cities beyond (Porto Alegre, Canoas, Esteio, Sapucaia do Sul, and Novo Hamburgo). The fare is R$1.70 and there's a station near the Porto Alegre Rodoviaria (central bus station) and Porto Alegre Salgado Filho airport. It is more or less safe to walk during day time from Rodoviaria or the airport to the stations.
