City tour em Recife e Olinda: Melhor Roteiro e Preço

Fazer um city tour em Recife e estender a programação até a vizinha Olinda é uma excelente forma de visitar alguns pontos turísticos destas cidades. Afinal, assim como em qualquer destino histórico repleto atrações culturais, o passeio fica mais cativante quando se está acompanhado de um profissional do turismo.

Além disso, os city tours em Recife e Olinda também facilitam a logística de deslocamentos. Isso porque, de modo geral, estas atividades incluem o transporte de todos os trechos do percurso – buscando os viajantes em seus hotéis na Praia de Boa Viagem e os levando às áreas históricas destas cidades.

Olinda, por exemplo, está aproximadamente a 20 quilômetros de Boa Viagem. Ainda que seja possível fazer o percurso solicitando carros por aplicativos de corrida, o tour guiado costuma ser mais ágil.

Ainda assim, saiba que além do city tour, também recomendo deixar espaço no roteiro para conhecer o Recife Antigo – nome do bairro histórico da capital de Pernambuco – por conta própria. Isso porque, é possível que durante o passeio guiado não haja tempo suficiente para visitar todos os atrativos da vizinhança pois há muito o que ser visto por lá.

Roteiro do city tour em Recife e Olinda

A depender da agência responsável pelo passeio pode haver pequenas diferenças no roteiro do city tour em Recife. Porém, de modo geral, a sequência da programação é a mesma: sair de Boa Viagem, ir ao Recife Antigo e finalizar em Olinda.

As vans dos receptivos turísticos começam a buscar os viajantes em seus hotéis por volta das 7h30. Depois do grupo reunido, o tour segue pela orla da Praia de Boa Viagem em direção ao centro de Recife.

A primeira parada costuma ser no Cais de Santa Rita, onde os viajantes podem optar em fazer um passeio de catamarã pelo Rio Capibaribe (R$ 25,00). A navegação dura cerca de 30 minutos e termina no Marco Zero de Recife.

Os turistas que não quiserem fazer o passeio de barco seguirão direto ao Marco Zero com o veículo em que já estavam.

Se acaso você não faz questão do passeio de catamarã, ir direto ao Recife Antigo dará alguns minutos extras para bater perna com mais tranquilidade ou entrar em mais pontos turísticos.

Ainda pela manhã e antes do almoço o city tour em Recife segue para outro bairro do centro da cidade: Santo Antônio. A parada acontece na Casa da Cultura, uma espécie de centro de artesanato que funciona no prédio de uma antiga penitenciária.

A próxima para do roteiro costuma ser para almoço em algum restaurante no centro de Recife . Geralmente, a refeição acontece em lugares que servem buffet a quilo pois desta forma o viajante consegue provar os sabores de diferente pratos típicos de Pernambuco.

Por fim, é hora de seguir para o último destino do roteiro: Olinda . Lá, o guia costuma fazer um recorrido pelas principais atrações do centro histórico e ainda deixa algum tempo livre para os viajantes baterem perna por conta própria.

Para os viajantes que preferem fazer um city tour por conta própria a minha sugestão é dividir o passeio em dois dias: um para o centro de Recife e outro para Olinda. Isso porque, dessa forma dá para aproveitar melhor as atrações de cada cidade.

Deixarei a seguir uma sugestão de roteiro de um dia para fazer pelo Recife Antigo e seus arredores. Tenha em mente, porém, que essa programação é baseada nas minhas preferências e não necessariamente é a mais legal para o seu perfil.

O meu itinerário começaria na realidade no bairro de São José, mais especificamente no Museu da Cidade do Recife , que fica no Forte das Cinco Pontas. Apesar de pequeno, o local tem um bom acervo de fotografias, mapas, pinturas e outros registros que dão um ótimo panorama sobre o passado de Pernambuco.

Em seguida, iria para o Mercado de São José , que tem uma grande variedade de boxes que vendem diferentes tipos de artesanato.

Ao sair do mercado iria para o Pátio de São Pedro , que está apenas a duas quadras de distância. Além de casarões históricos, lá também há outros pontos turísticos de Recife, como a Catedral de São Pedro dos Clérigos, o Memorial Chico Science e o Memorial Luiz Gonzaga.

A próxima parada deste roteiro seria a Casa da Cultura de Pernambuco . Depois de mais de 100 anos funcionando como a Casa de Detenção do Recife, atualmente esse enorme prédio funciona como uma espécie de centro de artesanato.

A pausa para o almoço seria no Mercado da Boa Vista, caso a intenção fosse comer bem sem gastar muito (até R$ 50,00), ou no Restaurante Leite, caso a intenção fosse provar pratos mais elaborados com sabores mais delicados (a partir de R$ 100,00).

Somente após o almoço é que finalmente iria para os pontos turísticos do Recife Antigo, provavelmente por volta das 13h.

Por lá, dedicaria cerca de 1h30 para visitar as atrações que estão próximas da Rua do Bom Jesus , como por exemplo, o Paço do Frevo e a Embaixada dos Bonecos Gigantes de Olinda.

Depois, iria para Cais do Sertão (atenção, pois fecha às 16h), que é um centro cultural dedicado à cultura sertaneja e, para mim, um dos melhores museus em Recife .

Já durante o entardecer, o último ponto turístico do Recife Antigo que eu visitaria é o Marco Zero – que está de frente para o Parque das Esculturas Francisco Brennand e ao lado do Centro de Artesanato de Pernambuco. Além de artesanato, neste último também há uma lojinha de bebidas, vinhos e espumantes locais.

Para terminar o dia, iria ao Paço da Alfândega , onde também está a belíssima Livraria Jaqueira. Além de vasculhar as estantes em busca de novos títulos, tomaria um café na sua simpática cafeteria.

Além do city tour para visitar os pontos turísticos de Recife que estão localizados no centro histórico, saiba que há outros passeios que saem da capital do estado e que levam os forasteiros para conhecer outras belezas de Pernambuco.

De modo geral, são tours no esquema bate e volta, que duram o dia inteiro e têm como destino alguma praia do litoral sul pernambucano . Na minha opinião, para quem pretende fazer estada em Recife essa é a melhor maneira de combinar um roteiro cultural com dias à toa de frente para o mar.

A Praia de Boa Viagem , a principal da cidade, até garante ótimas caminhadas na orla e oferece bons trechos para esticar a canga na areia. No entanto, para os banhistas que gostam de entrar no mar e prezam por restaurantes para passar o dia, é mais bacana fazer um itinerário às praias de municípios vizinhos.

Para mim, os três melhores passeios bate volta saindo de Recife para incluir nas férias, são:

• Tour bate volta a Porto de Galinhas (R$ 100,00)
• Passeio à Praia dos Carneiros (R$ 125,00)
• Passeio de 1 dia a Maragogi (R$ 125,00)

The night before our departure we received a message that our pickup time would be 1730 on our departure date, which was perfect. When the time came for pickup we waited 20 minutes and I "Whatsapp" messaged the company about our shuttle. They responded in about five minutes that the shuttle was on the way. We waited another 20 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes late and NO SHUTTLE. We were trying to make a flight so we took a taxi instead (which is 1/3 the price of the shuttle). No messages from the Shuttle company, no explanation. Terrible. What makes this worse is we had the same problem when we arrived, this company NEVER SHOWED up to take us from the airport to our hotel. STAY AWAY from this shuttle company.

Recife TRAVEL GUIDE

Recife brazil: a quick look.

Hello, adventurers of this world! I’m going to tell you about an incredible destination affectionately known as Brazilian Venice. Recife is brimming with history! It is the capital of Pernambuco and also the oldest capital in the country. It has stunning beauty, is full of gastronomic delights, breathtaking architecture, a pleasant climate, and colorful streets with lots of maracatu and frevo.

In this Recife travel guide, you will find everything you need to know, from pre-planning your trip to staying safe.  For an in-depth country guide, see our complete  Brazil travel guide . 

As expected, Recife has one of the main carnivals in Brazil. Well, it’s no surprise that the biggest carnival block in the world, according to the Guinness Book, O Galo da Madrugada, receives around two million excited revelers on the morning of Carnival Saturday. They say location is everything. So, Recife is privileged. With beautiful beaches a city with a very rich and diverse history, it is one of the most fascinating cities in Brazil.

I believe that I am a very lucky person, as I had the opportunity to visit many places in Brazil, and now I want to be able to share with you everything I experienced. I know many tips and curiosities that only locals know. So, with so much information in hand, I hope I can help you on your adventure in Recife.

Side note: One of the main questions we get when planning a trip to our country is “when is the best time to visit Brazil ”, which you can read later.

Now let’s get to know this Recife travel guide. Here we go!

Recife Brazil: Quick travel tips before you go

🛫 Airport: Recife’s main airport is Recife International Airport (Guararapes) (REC).

🤑 Currency: Brazilian Real, denoted by the symbol R$

🗣️ Language: Portuguese is the official language in Recife, but English is spoken in tourist areas and hotels.

🕰️ Time Zone: Brasilia Standard Time (GMT-3). One hour before EST and 4 hours before PST.

💵 Cost: Recife is even more affordable if it’s in a stronger currency, such as the US dollar, euro, or yen.

🛜 Internet: nternet speeds in Recife may vary, as they do in other cities in Brazil. However, you will find reasonably fast Internet connections.

📄 Brazil Visa: As of now, If you are traveling from the United States, Canada, Australia, or Japan, then NO. This could change as of October 1, 2023. Track the status and details here . You do NOT need a visa for EU Nationals, and you may not be affected by the Oct 1, 2023 change. You can see the details here .

🔌 Power Outlets: Excellent! Brazil operates entirely on 127/220V and 60 Hz. In Recife specifically, it works on 220 volts with a frequency of 60 hertz (Hz), but some older installations may run on 127 volts, so it’s wise to ask first. Make sure to bring a universal travel adapter to ensure your electronic devices are compatible with the local power outlets.

🔋 Power Grid: It is excellent. Brazil mainly operates on a 127/220V supply voltage and 60Hz. Some newer buildings are working on 220V, but don’t count on it everywhere.

📳 SIM Card: If you have any doubts about the need for a SIM card for Brazil, the answer to that is YES: they are very cheap, and buying one in any country you visit is a matter of necessity.

🚘 Car Rentals: It can seem a bit daunting to rent a car in Brazil , especially when you’re visiting another country. But it can be an excellent alternative.

recife travel guide

Recife brazil: safety travel tips (use common sense).

🍏 Food safety: The food in Recife is safe. However, as there are many seafood dishes, you should be aware if you have a food intolerance or allergy.

💧 Water safety: Tap water is not recommended for drinking, but you can use it to brush your teeth, shower, and wash your hands. I recommend that you always buy filtered water so that it can be consumed. Consider bringing a Water-To-Go Filterable Bottle for convenient access to clean and safe drinking water during your travels.

👷‍♀️ Daytime safety: During the day, Recife is relatively safe for residents and visitors, especially in more touristy and commercial areas. However, it is always important that you take basic precautions to ensure you are safe.

🦺 Nighttime safety: It’s always important to use your common sense wherever you go. Don’t keep valuables in your pockets, stay in well-lit and busy areas, don’t walk alone at night, don’t pick up your phone in the street, and don’t wear jewelry or anything of considerable value.

👺 Avoiding scams: Make sure all your valuables are stored in a safe place. Uber or cabs should be booked directly through the app or the place where you are staying. Also, don’t leave your water or other drinks unattended.

Recife is positioned near the mouth of the Capibaribe River, which makes it a privileged coastal location. It is one of the most important cities in the northeast of Brazil in economic and cultural terms.

Recife is located in the state of Pernambuco and is one of the states that make up the Northeast region of Brazil. As Recife is the capital of Pernambuco, it is one of the most important cities in the area and is well known for its rich history, culture, and economy.

What’s the Closest Airport to Recife Brazil?

Recife/Guararapes International Airport (REC) is the closest airport to Recife. This is the gateway airport to the city and also to the Pernambuco region. It is located approximately 11 kilometers (6 mi) south of Recife’s city center, making it the most convenient option for travelers wishing to visit Recife.

What is the Best Way to Get to Your Recife Hotel?

When you arrive at Recife/Guararapes International Airport (REC), there are several means of transportation to get to your chosen place of accommodation:

Taxi: When you land at Recife International Airport, you will probably find a line of taxis available to take you to your hotel. If you want to use this means of transport, check the fare in advance and also make sure the meter is working.

Uber: Uber is a very good alternative and also often cheaper than taking a taxi. You can request an Uber through the app, and it will then arrive at your hotel.

Airport Transfer: Many hotels in Recife offer an airport transfer service to their guests. Therefore, it is a good idea to check with your hotel to see if they provide this type of service and how you will need to make an appointment.

Rent a car : If you want to have greater flexibility on your trip and want to explore areas beyond Recife, a good option is to rent a car at the airport. There are several car rental companies available at Recife International Airport. That is great.

How to Get Around Recife?

Ride Sharing (top choice): One of my favorite options, walking can be one of the most enjoyable ways to explore the city, places like Recife Antigo and the Boa Viagem waterfront, for example, and especially in locations with attractions close to each other. When I went to Recife, this was the method I used the most to get around the city.

Rent a Car (top choice): If you are exploring Recife in more depth or have specific travel plans, renting a car will be an excellent option. There are several car rental agencies available in the city and at Recife International Airport.

Extra Tip: Recife has an initiative called “Bike PE” that encourages the use of bicycles as a means of transport. There are bike rental stations in various parts of the city, and you can also use an app to rent a bike for a short period if you prefer. I thought this was fantastic.

Extra Tip: To cross the Capibaribe River and visit neighboring neighborhoods, you can use boat services that operate in the city.

When to Go to Recife?

The best time for you to travel and take advantage of all these tips on what to do in Recife is summer. In other words, if you can, visit the capital of Pernambuco between September and March. It’s even better if you can come just before or after Carnival, so you can enjoy the city and the festivities. Let’s take a look at the best time to visit Recife. 

Recife Brazil Summer (December to February): During the summer, which runs from December to February, the weather is hot and humid in Recife, with average temperatures in the 30°C (86°F) range. This is beach season, and they are very busy.

In that case,, Carnival is a wonderful time to visit the city and be captivated by this beautiful party. So, if you want to experience this party, you will have to plan ahead.

Where to Stay in Recife Brazil? (By Neighborhood)

There are many good places to stay in Recife, so the best choice will depend on how much you are willing to pay for accommodation and the type of trip you want to take.

The options presented in this Belo Horizonte guide are Boa Viagem (family). Pina (Individual travelers and groups. Casa Forte (couples).

I summarized this topic so that you can more easily understand what each of these neighborhoods has to offer.

 Recife Antigo – Old Recife (Best Central Location And Nightlife)

This is the best central location in Recife. It’s an area rich in culture and history and has a lively nightlife with lots of bars, restaurants, and live music. It’s also central, so it’s easy to get to other parts of the city. 

Pina (Individual Travelers and Groups) 

Located next to the Boa Viagem neighborhood, Pina offers a very beautiful and pleasant coastal area with beaches, many beach bars, and restaurants. Ideal for enjoying alone or with friends. 

Boa Viagem – Bon Voyage  (Family) 

This seaside neighborhood has a wide range of hotels, rental apartments and tourist infrastructure. The beach is suitable for families, as there are plenty of restaurants and activities in the vicinity. 

Casa Forte – Strong house (Couples)

For couples looking for a quieter, more romantic place, Casa Forte offers a more charming yet relaxing atmosphere.

Best Things to Do in Recife Brazil

• Carnival in Recife: Carnival in Recife is an attraction you need to go to. So if you visit Recife during the Carnival season, don’t miss the lively street parties, parades, and cultural events. Recife’s Carnival is one of the most famous in Brazil.
• Mercado de São José: Visit this historic and bustling market where you can buy local handicrafts, food, and souvenirs to take home.
• Rua do Bom Jesus: already elected as one of the most beautiful in the world. In addition to the colorful buildings, it houses the first synagogue in the Americas, Kahal Zur Israel, which can be visited. Still, on the street, you will find the Embaixada dos Bonecos Gigantes, a very simple mini “museum” that houses many dolls that are a trademark of Carnival in Recife.
• Francisco Brennand Museum: This museum has the works of Pernambuco artist Francisco Brennand in an impressive environment with his sculptures, ceramics, and contemporary art.
• Boa Viagem Beach: Enjoy relaxing on the famous urban beach of Boa Viagem. Enjoy the sun, swim in the warm waters, and take walks along the boardwalk. But pay attention to shark warnings and stay close to shore.
• Recife Antigo: It is the most touristic neighborhood in the city, called Bairro do Recife, it is in the central region of Recife and it is lovely. Walking aimlessly through its cobblestone streets is worth it. But don’t think that’s all. Recife Antigo also has several cool attractions, as well as good restaurants and bars.
• Cais do Sertão: Discover the Cais do Sertão museum, one of the coolest I’ve ever visited. The museum uses the life of artist Luiz Gonzaga as a guiding thread, mixing the traditional with the modern. It was installed in the place of old warehouses in the Port of Recife and uses technological resources to show different points of country life: living, working, singing, occupying, believing, migrating, and creating. Find out more about
• Capibaribe River: Take the opportunity to take a boat trip along the Capibaribe River to get a unique view of the city and enjoy the landscape along the banks of the river.
• Local Food: My favorite part of the whole trip. Try the rich northeastern cuisine, with dishes such as tapioca, acarajé, sun-dried meat, and the traditional Pernambuco feijoada.

Regardless of the tours you choose, Recife has beautiful places that allow you to enjoy many unforgettable moments in this tropical paradise.

Is Recife Safe for Tourists?

On my visit to Recife, I found it to be a safe city. Recife receives a large number of tourists every year. The city also has a well-established tourist industry, this is a factor that contributes to a safer city in tourist areas. However, just like anywhere you visit, you must be aware of your surroundings to ensure your trip is enjoyable.

I believe the main concern is petty theft. Because, anywhere in the world, this could happen. That’s why the more organized and planned your trip is, the safer you will be.

💡 Here, I Will Give You Some Professional Safety Tips for Each City You Travel To:

• Taking care of your belongings: Regardless of where you are traveling, it is very important to take care of your personal belongings, such as wallets, watches, bags, and smartphones. Do not leave your valuables visible in vehicles.
• Avoid going to dangerous places: You shouldn’t trust a certain area with your eyes closed just because it’s touristy. Therefore, avoid unknown neighborhoods because there is a danger of petty theft.
• Safe transportation: Only use reliable transportation like Taxi or Uber to get around the city at night; do not walk in unfamiliar areas.
• Do not display valuables: Avoid displaying valuables such as expensive jewelry, cameras, and watches in public places, as this may attract a lot of unwanted attention to you.
• Local information: Ask your hotel about safe places and places to avoid that could be considered dangerous.
• Emergency information: Always have emergency phone numbers, such as medical services and police, so you can call if you need anything.
• Pay attention to traffic: Traffic in Recife can be a little chaotic, so be careful when crossing streets or driving. Use pedestrian crossings and also respect the signage.

Therefore, all the precautions we take when traveling are essential, regardless of the destination you choose. Recife is a safe city for tourists, yet it is very important to always be aware of your surroundings and take secure measures to ensure that your trip is pleasant and peaceful.

As safety conditions may vary from time to time, always check for up-to-date safety information before taking your trip.

Recife Travel: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you drink the water in recife brazil.

Straight from the tap is a big NO .

This Recife guide recommends that you don’t drink tap water. It is safe for general use, so don’t risk drinking it.

You can use tap water to brush your teeth and take a shower! I recommend that you always buy bottled water whenever necessary.

Bottled water is sold in supermarkets and stores in Recife. Furthermore, always pay attention to the temperature during the day, as the Brazilian sun is VERY hot, so you always need to be well hydrated.

These are the steps to staying safe with healthy water: 

• In an Airbnb, you will need to boil water if you don’t have bottled or filtered water.
• In a hotel that does not have filtered water, buy bottled water.
• I recommend that you always buy bottled water. This way, you will have the convenience of carrying it in your bag or backpack. And what’s more, you will always be well hydrated. Consider investing in a Water-To-Go Filterable Bottle for an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic bottles, allowing you to refill and filter water on the go.

In autumn, it is still quite warm, with averages between 28°C (82.4°F) and 30°C (86°F). The nights are more pleasant, with average temperatures of 23°C (73.4°F) to 25°C (77°F).

Therefore, costs in Recife vary according to each individual’s choices. But always be aware that costs increase during peak season. So, organize your budget before making the details of your trip.

If you have doubts about whether Recife is a good destination, I can say that and yes! Recife is a destination that is VERY worth visiting, especially if you are interested in exploring the culture, natural beauty of Northeast Brazil, and history.

Recife is a city rich in its culture and history. It has a preserved historic center that features charming colonial architecture with museums, baroque churches, and a unique atmosphere. The city is also famous for its cultural festivities, such as Carnival, which is a unique experience that you will have the opportunity to experience.

The Recife region has enchanting beaches. It’s impossible not to fall in love. I can highlight Boa Viagem, which is an urban beach with warm waters. It’s wonderful to relax in this place.

Northeastern cuisine, the best part of the trip, is an attraction in itself. On my visit to Recife, I had the opportunity to try delicious dishes, such as acarajé, sun-dried meat, tapioca, and fresh seafood.

The region of Recife and its surroundings offer opportunities for you to experience ecotourism. This includes boat trips, beautiful trails, visits to natural parks, and you can even watch dolphins. Have you ever thought what a unique experience?

How Many Days Do I Need in Recife Brazil?

The number of days you should choose to spend in Recife largely depends on the time you have available and your personal interests, such as what you want to do in the city and the pace you want to have on your trip.

Recife is so enchanting that four or five days may not be enough to enjoy everything it has to offer. It is important to remember that in high season, beaches and accommodations are more crowded.

General Recife, Brazil Travel Info & FAQ

🌞 Recife Weather The climate in Recife, Brazil, is characterized by being very hot and humid throughout the year due to its tropical monsoon climate.

In general, temperatures in Recife are hot all year round. The city has a rainy season that runs from March to July, with April and May being the wettest. So during this period, heavy rains are very common. The dry season in Recife takes place from August to February, so during this period, the showers are less frequent. The relative humidity is high throughout the year, making Recife a humid city.

It is worth remembering that these are general conditions, and actual weather conditions vary from year to year. Recife is known for its warm and pleasant tropical climate, which is an attractive factor for those who love beaches and outdoor activities for much of the year. But I always like to highlight that it’s important to always have good planning, because if you don’t keep this in mind, you might choose a not-so-great season and this could affect your trip and the activities you’d like to do.

💰 Brazil Currency  The official currency of Brazil is the Brazilian real, indicated by BRL or R$. Nowadays, cards are accepted practically everywhere, but this Recife travel guide advises that you always have some cash on hand, a small amount, as Recife has a lot of local crafts and really cool things to take as souvenirs. So I would hate for you to miss something like that because you didn’t take a small amount of money with you on your trips.

🗣️ Brazil Language  As the official language of Brazil is Portuguese, both in Recife and throughout the country, this is what you will hear on the streets.

However, English is present in places that have tourist attractions and hotels. However, this Recife travel guide recommends that you learn a few things in the native language. It could just be a few easy words or phrases in Portuguese, as this will help you become more immersed in the local culture and also in your trip.

If you want to learn a little Portuguese before traveling, use DuoLingo or Pimsleur; they are great tools.

🛫 Recife Brazil Busy Season & Slow Season Recife Busy Season: The busy season in Recife is during the summer, in the months of December, January, and February. During this period, there are many tourists in Recife, both Brazilian and foreign, who are attracted by the combination of warm weather, end-of-year festivities such as New Year’s Eve, stunning beaches, and Carnival.

Recife Slow Season: The slow season in Recife is when the city is least visited by tourists. It is the rainy season period, which is from March to July. So during this period, if you visit Recife, you will find fewer crowds and also lower prices. However, be aware of the weather conditions, especially during this rainy season.

Recife Shoulder Season: This season runs from September to November. The shoulder season in Recife is the intermediary between the high season and the low season. In shoulder season, you will find a balance between fewer crowds and good weather conditions. If you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere without so many groups, this is the ideal time to visit Recife.

Do I Need a Visa for Brazil? 

The Short Answer: If you are traveling from the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan, the answer is no, UNTIL October 1, 2023, then the answer is yes. Currently, no visa is necessary from European Union (EU) countries. This looks like it will be the case even after October 1, 2023. 

The Longer Answer: Traveling to Brazil is a great experience, but it is important to make sure you have all your ducks in a row so to speak. That means having the proper documentation needed to enter the country. 

Here’s what you need to know about securing a visa for Brazil, specifically for citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, and European Union (EU) countries.

Section 1: US, Canada, Australia, and Japan Citizens of the US, Canada, Australia, and Japan can currently enter visa-free travel to Brazil for tourism or business purposes. 

This applies to stays of up to 90 days within a 12-month period. All you need is a valid passport with an expiry date at least six months beyond your intended departure from Brazil.

Brazil is looking to implement the visa requirement again for these four countries as of October 1, 2023, so plan in advance for this. 

Section 2: European Union (EU)  Nationals

For most European Union citizens, including those from the UK, Germany, France, and Italy, also benefit from visa-free entry to Brazil. 

This policy permits EU nationals to stay in Brazil for tourism or business purposes for up to 90 days within a 12-month period. Like others, they will need a passport that is valid for at least six months past the date of entry into Brazil.

Visa and immigration requirements can and do change. It is always advised to check the latest information from the official government websites of Brazil or your home country’s foreign travel advisory services before making travel plans.

For the most recent and comprehensive information about visa requirements for all nationalities, consult the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website or a Brazilian embassy or consulate near you during your pre-planning phase of your trip. 

The October 1st, 2023 update does not look like it will affect EU Nationals, but research accordingly here .

What Do I Need on My Brazil Packing List? 

Perhaps packing a suitcase that is too big and taking things that are not important to the other side of the world is one of the worst things about traveling. On the other hand, it’s also terrible to really need something and not have it. This can ruin anyone’s mood.

Packing your bags for a trip to Brazil or any other destination must be done in advance! This way you will only take what you need and won’t need to carry a lot of luggage.

Here’s a curated list focusing on your primary needs: 🔌 Power Adapters: Brazil has type C and N sockets, which can be inconvenient if you don’t plan everything in advance. Therefore, buy the right adapters for your devices before traveling so you won’t waste time buying one when you arrive at your destination. Consider investing in a universal travel adapter to cover your needs efficiently.

📳 Brazil and Florianopolis SIM Card: Having internet these days is essential, even more so when traveling far from your home country. So don’t forget to buy a Brazilian SIM card so you can use the internet and communicate. This is an essential tool if you intend to use Uber and Google Maps, for example.

💧 Filterable Water Bottle: Tap water in Recife is not safe to drink. So, do what I do: buy water and take your bottle wherever you go. Consider investing in a Water-To-Go Filterable Bottle for convenient access to clean and safe drinking water during your travels.

💊 Anti-Hangover Meds: Brazil’s nightlife is wild. It’s for sure worth carrying anti-hangover medications to make sure your trip runs smoother. The last thing you want to do is waste an entire day out of a seven-day trip in bed with a hangover. 

👒 Sun Protection: The Brazilian sun is VERY intense. This Recife travel guide recommends that you take your favorite sunscreen with HIGH SPF and hats for extra protection. Because even if you are exposed to the sun for a short time, you may regret it. Trust a person who has had some unfortunate sunburns.

🦟 Bug Repellent: By now, you should know that Brazil is a tropical country, and as such, you will have plenty of mosquitoes and insects to keep you company. Repellent is a REQUIRED item. Nobody likes itching or catching dengue fever and other diseases. Consider using an eco-friendly bug repellent to protect yourself while minimizing environmental impact.

🩴 Comfortable Footwear: There are different terrains in Recife. Therefore, bring comfortable walking shoes, sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, and whatever else you think is necessary.

📄 Travel Documents: Make sure you have collected all the necessary documents, such as passport, visa (if required), travel insurance documents, and everything else. Furthermore, have copies of everything. If it is lost or stolen, you will have extra copies. Avoid frustration so you can enjoy your trip.

And don’t forget to bring clothes suitable for the season in which you will travel to Recife. This travel list can be changed whenever you want, as long as you enjoy every minute of your trip without forgetting any details!

Is it Safe to Rent a Car and Drive in Recife Brazil? 

Renting a car and driving in Recife can be a great option, but you need to pay attention to several details to avoid any problems.

  Please be aware that road conditions in Recife can vary, and less busy roads may not be in good condition. So, drive carefully and be prepared to deal with possible potholes on the streets.

In high season, in the summer months, Recife is very busy, and traffic can be somewhat chaotic, with traffic jams in some areas, for example. If possible, try to avoid peak times and plan your trips well in advance.

Use a good GPS to help you get around Recife. Signage may be limited in certain areas. Be aware of Brazilian traffic laws and follow them. This includes speed limits, wearing a seat belt, and driving on the right side.

You need to have an international driver’s license to drive legally in the country. So if you choose to rent a car, take out good insurance to give you peace of mind.

Personal Safety: Always keep your belongings in a safe place and avoid leaving valuables in sight in the car. Because crimes of opportunity, such as vehicle break-ins, can occur in some areas.

Do I Need to Speak Portuguese to Visit Brazil?

Visiting Recife is something unique, a wonderful experience. The vast majority of locals will be very welcoming, regardless of how well you speak the language (Portuguese). But in situations where English may not be said, a tool like Duoling can be very useful! Not just Duo, but other platforms are very easy to use and great.

However, in my opinion, learning some basic phrases and words can open doors for you to have even more affectionate contact with the local population. Imagine how a simple “Obrigada” (thank you) or “Bom dia” (Good morning) in Portuguese can light up someone’s face when they see that you’re really making an effort to speak the language, even if it’s just something very basic.

It’s like a small gesture of affection that can make your stay even more pleasant. Don’t worry if you don’t speak the language, as the locals will welcome you just the same. One piece of advice: make the most of this experience!

Here are some great language preparation options for your trip to Brazil:

Learning basic Portuguese: Using good platforms to learn the basics of the language is really cool. I particularly like using DuoLingo, but there is also Pimsleur, for example. They have quick, interactive courses to help you gain more confidence and speak some Portuguese before your trip.

Use the Google Translate app: This app can be a lifesaver when it comes to language barriers. Remember that it works online, so you will need a Brazilian SIM card with good internet.

Get a Portuguese phrasebook : Consider carrying a Portuguese phrasebook , for example, the Lonely Planet Portuguese Phrasebook . This book can be very useful in helping you understand the local language a little, even in emergency situations. You won’t become fluent in the language, but you will gain some knowledge that could be very useful. This will certainly enrich your trip to Recife. Locals really appreciate it when visitors make an effort, no matter how small it may seem.

Is Brazil Safe for Solo Female Travel? 

Brazil can be a safe destination! But using common sense is always a good idea on any trip you take around the world.

There are some safety measures that I consider essential, such as avoiding going out alone at night and always being aware of your surroundings, staying in hotels that have a good rating and in safe areas, and booking tours only online.

Don’t go out with anything that attracts a lot of attention on the street, whether it’s something expensive or branded. Leave your valuables in a safe at your hotel.

I don’t think any Recife travel guide dictates any dress code or behavior, but they all recommend that you only use reliable transportation. And if you prefer to go out after 8 p.m., call an Uber! Remember that you will need mobile internet to use it!

Tell your family and friends everything about your trip, what your plans and steps are, and when you want to go back to the hotel for the night. A tip: share your location with your friends and family until you are safe.

As I am an experienced traveler, you can trust this Recife travel guide because it is a unique experience! Whether for a weekend or a longer trip, Recife awaits your visit!
