Resepaket till Turkiet för resenärer från Brasilien: flyg, säsonger, rutter

Turkish Airlines flies nonstop from São Paulo-Guarulhos to Istanbul in roughly 12 and a half hours, and travellers with a Brazilian passport can stay up to 90 days without a visa. A Get Turkey Tours package from Brazil is therefore much like a trip to Europe, only with a longer flight. Packages start at $700 per person for 8 days covering Istanbul and Ephesus and go up to $1,500 for 15 days finishing on the Antalya coast, hotels not included. Season, hotel choice and inclusions affect the figure, so ask us for the current price.

Getting there from São Paulo and the rest of Brazil

The nonstop Turkish Airlines route links São Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU) with Istanbul Airport (IST), and its 2026 timetable has as many as 14 flights each week. Flying to Istanbul takes between about 12 hours 25 minutes and 12 hours 45 minutes; the return leg is about 13 hours 50 minutes. Travellers from Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Belo Horizonte or the Northeast change planes in Guarulhos or at a hub in Europe or the Gulf.

Istanbul Airport sits on the European side, roughly 50 km from the Old City. Transfers are part of every package, and you can also book a private car from the airport separately, with one price per vehicle.

Entering Turkey on a Brazilian passport (checked October 2026)

According to the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, holders of ordinary Brazilian passports are exempt from visas for stays of up to 90 days. The Brazilian Consulate in Istanbul confirms that 90-day limit. It also recommends asking the Turkish Embassy in Brasília or the Turkish Consulate General in São Paulo how long your passport must still be valid before you set off. You do not need an e-Visa, so any site charging Brazilians for one is selling a document with no use.

Packages that suit a holiday from Brazil

This is what each package includes, not counting hotels or the international flight:

When each flight takes 12 hours, plan on 10 days in Turkey or more. For a long holiday from Brazil, the 15-day package fits best. You spend three nights in each of Istanbul, Cappadocia and Kusadasi, then five nights close to Antalya, and you fly home from Antalya Airport.

Domestic flights, airport transfers, guided tours and lunch on touring days are all part of the packages. Each page lets you add hotels city by city for your dates. You pay separately for the flight from Brazil, dinner on most evenings, the balloon flight in Cappadocia and tips.

Opposite seasons: pick your month with care

Because Turkey lies north of the equator, its seasons are the reverse of yours.

• July, during the Brazilian winter break: the height of summer in Turkey. The sea is warm, yet afternoons at Ephesus and Pamukkale go above 30°C, and Istanbul is at its most crowded.
• February, at Carnival time: winter in Turkey. Expect cold and rain in Istanbul and possible snow in Cappadocia, where balloon flights are called off more often. Do not plan a beach trip.
• April, May, September and October: the top months. Sightseeing is comfortable everywhere, and in September and October the Mediterranean is still warm for swimming.
• December and January: fewer visitors and lower prices, but bring clothes for cold, rainy days.

Guide languages: English and Spanish, with Portuguese if available

On our package pages the guide languages shown are English and Spanish. Portuguese is not among them. If you would like a guide who speaks Portuguese, say so in your request. Before you book, we let you know if we can confirm one for your dates, but we make no promise ahead of time.

Clocks, payments and other practical details

• Time zone: Istanbul runs on UTC+3, which puts it 6 hours ahead of Brasília and São Paulo throughout the year, as neither country uses daylight saving.
• Payment: we price in US dollars, and you can see euros using the currency switch at the top of the site. There are no quotes in reais; your card handles the conversion, so check what it charges in IOF and exchange fees. Carry some Turkish lira for tips and small shops.
• Sockets: Turkey has round two-pin sockets at 230 V. Brazilian two-pin plugs normally fit, but three-pin plugs need an adapter. Make sure any 127 V device can take 230 V.
• Mobile data: an eSIM data plan or a local Turkish SIM costs less than roaming.
• Cancellation: no charge until 7 days before the start date; inside those 7 days there is no refund.
