The Corcovado Train Station address is Rua Cosme Velho, 513, Cosme Velho – Rio de Janeiro – Brazil. The station is right in the city, approximately 15 to 30 minutes by taxi from Copacabana, Ipanema, Leme or Leblon districts, depending on traffic, time and day of the week, and on the location of your hotel.
Note that the vast majority of taxi drivers in Rio de Janeiro don’t speak English, not even basic. So, if you are planning to get to the Corcovado Train Station by yourself, you better have the address above to be sure he understands where you want to go.
This does not apply to the Corcovado Train Station only, but to other destinations. In fact, you should have in hand the address of most places you want to go in Rio (including your hotel), ideally the name of the place and the address.
This is because not all drivers know all the addresses or names of places of interest or may not understand your pronunciation, even if you say it in Portuguese.
Having the address of the Corcovado Train Station is not at all enough to prevent you from standing in line for quite a while to buy the tickets to the train or to board it.
