I changed some money and checked out the mall.

Price: 17R to 18R (rip off price 20R)
From/to Hotel district

Bus 108.6 travel between Central Station to Rodoferroviaria
Price: 1.5R
The bus is opposite to the taxi stand in Rodoferroviaria

I need to wait for my tour at 2:00pm (but tour doesn?t start until 2:30pm).

Tour includes:
The Black Hall (Ceremonial entrance for guests of honor)
The Green Hall (Where press waits to interview Members.)
The Ulysses Guimaraes Plenary Chamber at the concave dome of the National Congress.
The Public Gallery
Museum (closed at noon)
Visiting Hours: Mon to Friday tours begin at 9:30am, 10:30am, 11:30am, 2:30pm, 3:30pm, 4:30pm Saturday to Sunday and holidays from 9:00am to 1:30pm

The tour is in Portuguese, the English tour guide (he also speaks Chinese), doesn't want to work just for one person.

It is a bit rushed.

Dinner is only 20 minutes long, luckily, I didn't order too much.
