Recife is pronounced “he-she-fie”. The city is not one of the most beautiful in Brazil, but certainly one of the most exciting, and a lot of money was put into the hands for the 2014 World Cup to give the cityscape a new face.


If you come to Recife, it’s probably because of its beaches, the wild carnival or the turbulent nightlife. You won’t really find historical sights in Recife, but you only have to drive to the colonial town of Olinda, 6 km away.
The landscapes around Recife are among the most beautiful in Brazil. They are also a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. You can dive, snorkel or sail.
