Going to Construsul? See where to stay and how to enjoy Porto Alegre
From July 22 to 25, 2025, Porto Alegre will host Construsul - International Construction Fair at the FIERGS Events Center in Porto Alegre.
This edition, which is the sector's main event in southern Brazil, will feature more than 300 exhibitors, 3,100 parking spaces and around 36,000 visitors.
Construsul is the meeting point for professionals, suppliers, engineers and entrepreneurs looking for trends in technology, sustainability, materials and services for major construction projects.
For those visiting Porto Alegre for the first time - or even for those who come more often - the difference is not just in what happens in the pavilion, but in how you experience each moment before, during and after the fair in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
Morning of the first day: arrival, registration and accommodation
Arriving in the city in comfort and safety is important for every traveler. That's why, as soon as you land or park, one of the first things to do, and the ideal way to avoid headaches, is to go straight to online registration - simple to do and which avoids queues at the entrance.
To access it, click on the accreditation link for Construsul - International Construction Fair (FIERGS), fill in your details in advance and save time getting used to Porto Alegre.
Here's another tip that could make your stay easier! Accommodation that even makes sense when commuting: choose an apart hotel or studio from Destino Living, protected by a digital lock, 24-hour concierge and nearby parking.
Isn't it great to arrive at your destination and already have a home ready - no waiting around - so you can settle in and organize yourself calmly for your appointment?
The option of ground-floor and high-rise apartments offers a swimming pool, gym and a coworking space within the building. It's accommodation that puts you in control of your schedule, with much more quality than a cramped hotel room.
Starting the event: transport to FIERGS
The FIERGS Events Center is located at Avenida Assis Brasil, 8787, in the Sarandi district, well served by both public transport and apps. When you're staying with Destino Living, you'll only be 10-20 minutes away by Uber.
Regular cabs and WhatsApp drivers also work well and guarantee discretion if you're going with materials or even more people.
For those who prefer public transport, the area has several bus lines. At the Praça Parobé Terminal, you can board lines 627 and 727 - Agostinho/Sertório, or other radial lines such as the D72 and D73 which follow Sertório and take the “Diretão” corridor.
By metro (Trensurb), you get off at Mercado station and take a bus or even an app car to the FIERGS complex. There are also the Sarandi-Eventos buses, which leave every 20 minutes from the center directly to the pavilion.
Between lunch and happy hour: where to eat well and conveniently
Around 12 noon, you'll want something tasty and quick. This is where the well-rated steakhouses and galeterias near FIERGS come in:
Restaurante Garoupa (Av. Assis Brasil, 8685): excellent infrastructure and food praised by visitors to the fair.
Komka Churrascaria & Galeteria, traditional since 1967, offers galeto and a la carte cuts for prices starting at R$65.
Churrascaria Barranco, famous for its beef on the fire - a great option for a hearty lunch.
If you'd prefer to slow down in your room after an intense day, you can order delivery via apps such as Rappi or iFood - many Destino Living apartments have an equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for a quiet, refreshing dinner.
Post-event evening: relax in peace
After closing the stands or participating in panels, if you want to take the opportunity to take care of your body and mind, in your apartment you can prepare a coffee or even tea with the coffee maker available! Open up on the sofa bed to relax, access the SmartTV and enjoy your well-deserved moment of rest.
In addition, many employees choose to schedule an early morning run outdoors - a good option for those who want to get back into the swing of things before starting their second day - or even an indoor workout - and the buildings where Destino's apartments are located also facilitate this, being equipped with gyms.
Other accommodation options: nearby hotels
If you prefer a hotel, here are competitive alternatives, all between R
150 and R 150 and R 260 per night:
Ibis Porto Alegre Assis Brasil: R$ 260/night, rating 8.2, just 400 m from the pavilion.
Milão Hotel: R$ 190/night, score 6.7, about 1.2 km away.
Hotel Moov Porto Alegre: R$ 150/night, high score (8.8), located 6-9 km away, good value for money.
Important to remember: these hotels offer the basics, but are unlikely to have a kitchen, laundry, coworking, access to the gym and swimming pool or even the option of breakfast, like the Destino Living apartments.
Tips for those attending Construsul for the first (or tenth) time
Before leaving for Porto Alegre, decide whether you want simplicity (hotel) or autonomy (Destino Living apartment). Book the accreditation online, check the bus timetables on the Moovit or EPTC apps, install Uber, 99 and Benefit, and analyze public transport - if you're in a group or with equipment, a cab may be the least bureaucratic solution.
Dress lightly, despite the cold weather in Rio Grande do Sul; bring a reusable bottle to stay hydrated and make sure you have a headset for noisy environments. As an exhibitor or buyer, we also recommend bringing reusable bags for your materials.
Finally, enjoy: a coffee in the park, a visit to the Embarcadero Pier and dinner at Moinhos de Vento are great moments to recharge and immerse yourself in the local culture.
For those looking for a light, functional and accurate stay
With the infrastructure of a Destino Living studio - comfortable bed, kitchen with coffee maker, laundry, gym, coworking space and 24-hour concierge - you get more than accommodation.
You have the basis for transforming Construsul days into productive and balanced days, with complete support: cleaning, breakfast on demand, punctual guidance and flexible schedules, both for work and rest.
