Recife
The Brazilian Venice, the Florence of the Tropics, and the Capital of Shipwrecks. Recife is the northeastern municipality with the best Human Development Index and the 14th largest GDP in Brazil. It is a city where great names in Brazilian music and literature were born, and where you can find beaches with green waters. The region's handicrafts are also world-famous: they are an expression of the local culture. We mustn't forget to mention Recife's Carnival: one of the biggest street carnivals in the whole country!
