Travel to Brazil

[luc2112]

For those who want to visit Brazil, here are six basic tips:

1- All Brazilian businesses are registered in the city and federal revenue and the price is the same for all people (fixed/table price). No different price for tourist.

2- The exchange rate for the Brazilian currency (Real) ís EUR/Real 1/4.35 and U$/Real 1/3.88, some things went cheap. For example, an average hotel costs U$25,00 per day.

3 - Brazilians do a lot of internal tourism, many places can receive tourists (hotel, restaurants, tours), Brazilians have avoided large urban centers because they are dangerous (São Paulo- Capital and Rio de Janeiro-Capital), many smaller cities, are not dangerous, basic care only are necessary.

4 - Brazilians receive their salary by bank, it is very common (Visa/Mastercard) to use debit and credit cards with chip and password, almost all the commerce has machine for the card debt, it is possible to have a prepaid card in Brazil. Only small traders who do not have. ATM to withdraw money are in shopping center, supermarkets and banking agencies in the city center.

5 - Almost all state capitals have international airport. For smaller cities you can get around by bus, are large buses with air conditioning.

6 - Tourist has free emergency care http://www.saudedoviajante.pr.gov.br...p?conteudo=104
