Classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Sao Luis is a city in the north of Brazil, on the waterfront and is located on the peninsula sharing the same name which will charm travellers seeking colonial architecture.
The Northeast's folkloric reputation combined with some impressive, Portuguese colonial architecture contributed to São Luís being classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
But if there's one town where you need to watch your back, it's here at São Luís. It's a hotbed of crime so don't go off the beaten track whilst you're here and carry as little as possible on you.
