Brazilian Cities
Brazil’s urban life is varied and layered. São Paulo is a vast cultural and business centre; Rio de Janeiro is shaped by its dramatic geography; Brasília is a modernist planned capital. Beyond them are historic towns, coastal communities and regional capitals with distinct identities.
