Cut up by
rivers and full of bridged (close to 60) Recife is known as the Venice of
Brazil. The unusual Dutch influence that occurred only in this part of the
Brazilian Northeast is one of the interesting factors to explore the city
culturally. With museums, churches, and houses from the Portuguese colonial
period, the city is famous for its calm lakes created by reefs typical for its
beaches. In catamaran trips down the main river that cuts through the city, the
Capibaribe, you can admire its mangroves. For art lovers, you can't miss the
fabulous workshop of the native artist Francisco Brennand, located in the
middle of the Atlantic forest, where thousands of works of ceramics, paintings
and installation art are brought together.

In the
neighboring city of Olinda, with its hills and magnificent views that combine
antique houses with the sea in the background, you will find rich historic
heritage. Frevo and maracatu, typical musical rhythms in Pernambuco, are
registered trademarks during the city street carnival, which exhibits excited
floats of revelers like Galo da Madrugada.

With respect to
the art on the field, three clubs divide the state's attention: Sport, Santa
Cruz and Náutico. Giant rivals in the local tournament, historic duels have
collided for almost 100 years. The stadiums of the teams, Ilha do retiro,
Arruda and Aflitos, are excellent locations to watch the heat that emanates
from the passionate fans in Recife.
Pernambuco arena
As one of the
best stages to see the Brazilian soccer team, the capital of Pernambuco state
boasts the Pernambuco Arena, host for
three games in the Confederations Cup in 2013 and five World Cup games in 2014.
With 44.248 seats, the stadium has become a landmark in the city, since it includes
the construction of a totally planned neighborhood and a complex that will
house a museum, shopping center, restaurants, convention center, and other
amenities. Náutico has the right to be the owner of the new Arena after the
World Cup. Favorites to win the trophy, such as Germany and Italy, will show up
in this field.
