Arriving at PUCRS

There are several entrances to the PUCRS campus, but we recommend SBAC-PAD attendees to use entrances 1 and 2, located at Ipiranga Avenue (Avenida Ipiranga). To access the campus through these entrances, we suggest the following drop-off points:

The drop-off 1 is inside the campus and accessed through entrance 1. Choosing the Events Center (Centro de Eventos da PUCRS) or Building 40 (Prédio 40 da PUCRS) as your destination on ride-hailing apps, or for your taxi driver, will lead you to this drop-off point.

The drop-off 2 is in front of the museum and it gives access to the campus through entrance 1. Choosing the Science and Technology Museum of PUCRS (Museu de Ciência e Tecnologia da PUCRS) as your destination on ride-hailing apps, or for your taxi driver, will lead you to this drop-off point.

The drop-off 3 is in the main pedestrian entrance of the campus and it gives access to the campus through entrance 2. Choosing PUCRS (Pontifícia Católica Universidade do Rio Grande do Sul) as your destination on ride-hailing apps, or for your taxi driver, will lead you to this drop-off point.
