The city is home to [[Maya-Maya Airport]], which lies in the centre of the city and which has regular flights to [[Pointe-Noire]] as well as international destinations in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. A flight operates twice weekly between Brazzaville and Kinshasa, but the flight time is only five minutes.<ref name=Guardian1/>

The [[Congo-Ocean Railway]] has a station in the city and in 2014 was operating the [[La Gazelle train|''La Gazelle'']] train service every other day to [[Pointe-Noire]] and intermediate destinations.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/africa/congo/la-gazelle-train-brazzaville-to-pointe-noire |title=La Gazelle train Brazzaville to Pointe Noire |first=Lonely |last=Planet |access-date=4 May 2014 |archive-date=4 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140504190134/https://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/forums/africa/congo/la-gazelle-train-brazzaville-to-pointe-noire |url-status=live }}</ref>

The city is an important [[river port]], with [[ferry|ferries]] sailing to [[Kinshasa]] and to [[Bangui]] via [[Impfondo]].<ref name=Guardian1/> Ferries and fast private boats serve as the primary means of connection between Kinshasa and Brazzaville.<ref name=Guardian1/> The [[Livingstone Falls]] lie on the outskirts of the city, where the [[Djoué River]] meets the Congo, rendering river transport to the coast impossible, qualifying the railway as a [[portage railway]].

Although there is no organised public transport system, privately owned buses are available in the capital.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lonelyplanet.com/congo/brazzaville/transport/getting-around |title=Transport in Brazzaville - Lonely Planet Travel Information |access-date=2014-09-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125191943/http://www.lonelyplanet.com/congo/brazzaville/transport/getting-around |archive-date=25 January 2010}}</ref>

Taxis are available on every street and are easily recognized, being painted with a green body and white top, and the fare for a short trip is CF700. About twenty percent of the vehicles in Brazzaville are taxis. There are also collective taxis that drive certain routes and charge CF150.

[[Brazzaville–Kinshasa Bridge|A road-rail bridge]] is proposed to connect Brazzaville with Kinshasa. The rail gauge on both sides is the same at 1067mm.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.au-pida.org/view-project/2014/ |title=Road-Rail Bridge |date=17 June 2017 |access-date=8 September 2020 |archive-date=18 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201018085725/https://www.au-pida.org/view-project/2014/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
