That means paying $125 per flight I've been finding cheap tickets inside Brazil for less, without having to commit to a schedule. Other passes are basically 4 flights for $500 also must be booked in advance. Not a bad deal, however, all fights must be booked in advance, which is a major deal-breaker for me as I am a creature of spontaneity and planning even a week in advance is an excruciatingly painful exercise for me.Ģ. IF you fly to Brazil on Azul Airlines, United Airlines or TAP, Unlimited flights for 10 or 21 days, from the day you arrive in Brazil for $400 or $500. That website shows 2 types of airpasses:ġ. Also avoid carrying large amounts of money with you.Contact this one for specific information. The best thing to do is to not act like a tourist, and do not display items of extreme wealth such as laptops, jewelry, etc. Lack of man power, low wages and inappropriate training contribute to a lack of professionalism. Of significant concern is that policemen may not always provide the best quality of assistance and even be more dangerous than the criminals itself. While in recent years, the overall crime levels are steadily decreasing, Brazil continues to have moderately high crime rates in various aspects, even with a moderate homicide rate (about 28 per 100,000 people). Armed bandits have more recently been attacking schools, hotels and even innocent people in the streets. Brazil is one of the most criminalized countries of the world, therefore the crime rate is high, even for a developing nation. Other than that, I´d pick Sao Paulo: bigger city, a lot more to do, beaches are closer (60 km away).Įven the most patriotic Brazilian would say that the greatest problem the country faces is crime. If your plan is to stay like 2 or 3 days in Brasilia then fly to another city, it´s ok, it´s completely worth this kind of short stay. It´s quite smaller than Sao Paulo, so it has fewer restaurants, discos and stuff. It´s our London or New York.īrasilia is our capital and it has gorgeous buildings, a planned city with huge empty spaces. Sao Paulo is known as "the city that never sleeps", just to give you the whole picture. One is the largest city in the South Hemisphere with a lot of restaurants, museums, discos, an intense nightlife.
Make a plan in advance (googling, asking your brazilian fellows, posting here etc.) and you will be perfectly safe.įinally, about Sao Paulo and Brasilia, they´re totally diferent cities. Dont simply wake up in the hotel and say: "Hmmm, I´d like to dance. Just make sure to know where you will be going.
That kind of thing is perfectly possible to be done without any issue.
It´s perfectly nice to watch a game in the afternoon, go back to the hotel to take a bath, get some rest then go out at night to eat something, to go to a disco, to have fun and then come back to the hotel. Two pieces of advice I can give you as well every foreigner planning to come here no matter the city you wish to visit or stay: a) dont go where you dont know anything about b) dont walk around on your own at late night. Yes, my country is more violent when compared to Western Europe or USA, but believe me: you will be safe if you stick to the cities central areas and if you dont act like a lot of european fools eager to know slums (favelas) or poor areas. Brazil is not like Iraq and we arent in a civil war.
