exiting at praça xv, boats can be taken every 30 minutes going to the maritime terminal in niterói.

in niterói the boat terminal and the bus terminal are next to each other. in front of the niterói bus terminal, bus line 47, 47/a, 47/b can be taken to gragoatá beach.

this second route is more complicated, but it adds a panoramic portion to the trip, since the boats from praça xv to niterói cross guanabara bay and offer a beautiful view of the bay, of ilha fiscal, of the sugar loaf, and of rio's downtown.
