The wedding ceremony starts at 12h00 (and the bride is not planning to arrive late!). It is advisable to arrive at the church 15-30 min. before the ceremony begins. The church - Igreja São José - is located in the CENTRO (downtown) of Porto Alegre.
If you do not have
a car, it is easiest to come with a cab. If you are staying at a hotel,
you can ask the desk to call a taxi and already tell the driver where
he should go. You can also just walk out into the street and point
your index finger out with an extended arm if you see a taxi passing
by. Ask the driver: ``Igreja São José, na (rua) Alberto Bins. No
centro. Obrigado.'' (``Saint Joseph Church on the Alberto Bins
street. Downtown. Thanks.''). Even if you do not speak perfect Portuguese,
the driver will most certainly deduce where to go by the way you are
dressed. If instead you will be going by car: there are lots of parking
lots on the Alberto Bins and Pinto Bandeira.
