Recife
Recife is the fourth largest metropolitan area in Brazil and is host to one of the main ports in the Atlantic Ocean. The city has recently attracted many tourists who come to explore Recife's rich cultural roots and beautiful beaches.
Recife is the capital city of the State of Pernambuco and it is located at the meeting point of Beberibe and Capibaribe River. The city occupies an important place in the cultural, economic, political and scientific facade of Brazil.
The name ‘Recife’ has been derived from its surrounding coastal reef shoreline. When translated Recife is Portuguese for ‘reef’. The Portuguese rulers who first landed on Recife and ruled it for many years influenced its deep historical and cultural background.
Canals, rivers, bridges, one-way streets and its resemblance to European cities have led Recife to be known as the ‘Venice of Brazil’. Its many islands and mangroves give it its unique identity. Recife is considered as the cultural capital of Brazil as many famous poets, writers (Manuel Bandeira, João Cabral de Melo Neto), composers (Chico Science, Lenine) and players were born in this city. High buildings of present era and colonial structure give the city a mixed look.
