Recife: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
One of Brazil's largest and most dynamic cities, Recife is a modern metropolis as well as being the former capital of Dutch Brazil and once the center for sugar growing in the country.
My suggestion
Stay in Olinda (a town very close by), or in the Boa Viagem neighborhood and go out in the evening in Recife Antigo (Old Recife).
Recife is one of the most dynamic cities in the Northeast. It has an attractive center, and this is somewhere you can quickly visit before heading to the coast.
My suggestion
The city is very close to Olinda, which is an attractive place, so choose to stay in the latter as it has more charming accommodation than Recife.
Two islands, linked to each other, form the center of Recife, which is the capital of Pernabouco.
My suggestion
Don't wear a watch or jewelry to ensure a trouble-free trip to the city. Some areas are dangerous at night, so don't go out alone.
