Discover the destination
Located on the banks of the Guaíba River, Porto Alegre is the economic and cultural heart of southern Brazil. A city of tree-lined parks, historic markets, and sunsets so beautiful they've become postcards.
Founded in 1772 by immigrants from the Azores, it grew as a river port and today boasts universities, museums, and a vibrant creative scene. Gaucho culture (mate, churrasco, and regional music) sets the pace and defines the city's hospitality.
Tradition, passion, and the good life. Plenty of reasons to arrive early or stay a few extra days.
Mate shared hand-to-hand, churrasco as a ritual, and traditional folk music. The Gaúcho identity is a daily way of life.
The city lives and breathes the classic Gre-Nal between Grêmio and Internacional, one of the most intense in the world.
Bars in Cidade Baixa, live music, and a vibrant creative scene to extend the night.
Legendary sunsets over the Guaíba, huge parks, and the Serra Gaúcha with its vineyards just a short distance away.
