    Apart from Rio and Sao paulo, other beautiful Brazilian cities are Brasilia ( the capital) , Porto Alegre , Salvador, Belo Horizonte etc. Brasilia is a very
    planned city. Most of the cities have beautiful beaches.

    Every city in brazil is wonderful but if I have to choose one, it has to be Porto Alegre. Its name itself means Joyous Port so you know what to expect once you get there.

    Basing on what I hear from the news, I would prefer Rio de Janiero. The place is in between a beautiful bay with beaches and a sharply rising mountain range covered by tropical vegetation. Wow!

    I think there are still a lot of cities there in Brazil. I hope someone from Brazil will tell us about their cities. I think Sao Paolo is a must go city too.

    Sao Paolo is the richest city in Brazil. F1 fans know it as the city where the Brazilian GP takes place.

    Brazilian GP or Gran Prix is the Brazilian leg of the Formula One races. I've been a fan of F1 racing.

    Ah, ok. I did not know that Brazilians are also a fan of GP. So, who is their famous racer?

    During the 70's there was Emerson Fittipaldi. But to me the greatest Brazilian to ever graced the F1 circuit is Ayrton Senna. He died during a race in 1994.

    Back to topic, there are still lots of cities I would like to visit in Brazil. Salvador is definitely on my list.

    Rio de Janeiro - famous for its natural settings, its Carnival celebrations, samba and other music, and hotel-lined tourist beaches

    Sao Paulo - famous landmarks, restaurants, theaters, and museums

    Rio de Janeiro is great and i think the most popular. But personally, i love Pelourinho, the old historic center of Salvador. It is rich in history. There's lot of old churches, museums and shops their! Fantastic!

    Brazilian cities are all fun to go to. My personal favorite is Brasilia! It's the federal capital city if i'm not mistaken. Their architectures are awesome. I love the designs of their buildings!!

    These are my favorite cities in Brazil (but obviously, you can find many other great urban areas)

    1st: Florianópolis (unbelievable fun during the summer time)
    2nd: São Paulo (biggest city in Latin America you can find plenty of things to do, 24/7)
    3rd: Ilha Bela (an island at the coast of the state of São Paulo, a top sailing and adventure point, over 300 waterfalls!!)
    4th: Rio de Janeiro (a thousand rhythms in the "Cidade Maravilhosa", a lot of funk a samba. You better learn how to dance!!)

    Hello, I am from São Paulo city, and I like São Paulo very much, because São Paulo is a great metropole, well structured, excellent infrastructure, good roads, airports, many good professional opportunities, besides being the most developed city of Brazil. São Paulo city is the capital of São Paulo state.

    São Paulo aside, I prefer Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina state, an island in the southeast of Brazil. Wonderful island, amazing and beautiful people, nice weather, beautiful beaches including for surfing. Many blond girls with blue eyes, because Santa Catarina state was dominated by Germans and Italians in the past, during the strong migration movements.

    When in Brazil, please don´t forget to visit the beaches of Florianópolis, The City of Lights!

    Only for understanding, São Paulo is to Brazil, such as New York is to U.S.A.

    24 hours breathing life! São Paulo and New York can´t stop!

    I just love this little city in Brazil called Manaus.It is located in the Northwest of Brazil. It has a population of 1,630,000
    and it was founded in the 1660's. It was built level with the Rain Forrest canopy. It is really a beautiful place to
    visit if you are into nature and ecology!

    The best place I have visited in Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, difficult to explain why, I think this a magic city, full of wonderful places as the "Pão de Açucar", "o Corcovado", "os Arcos da Lapa" and of cours all the beautiful beaches.

    In the state of Minas Gerais I do recomend you to visit Ouro Preto and Tiradentes which are both historic cities, those places are just out of this world!

    I live in São Paulo city, and I love my city, and other cities such as Campos do Jordão, because the weather is cold as the European weather, and due to the buildings in German style. I also love the cities around the Brazilian coast, such as Guarujá in São Paulo coast, Rio de Janeiro city, and Florianópolis in Santa catarina state due to the wonderful beaches and beautiful girls.

    If you like beaches you should consider going to the "Região dos lagos" and visit Cabo Frio, Arraial do Cabo and Búzios

    I like Campos do Jordão for its fresh air all year and cold and dry weather in the winters. Very nice!
