Porto Alegre is the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The city is the southernmost capital of a Brazilian state. Known as “Joyful Harbor”, the city lies on the eastern bank of the Guaíba River, where five rivers converge to form the Lagoa dos Patos, a giant freshwater lagoon navigable by even the largest of ships. It has become an important port as well as a chief industrial and commercial center of Brazil. Products of the rich agricultural lands, such as soybeans, leather, canned beef, and rice, are exported from Porto Alegre to destinations as far away as Africa and Japan. The city’s industries are chiefly concerned with processing these products.
One of the most famous foods of Brazil, churrasco (slow-grilled and -roasted meat), originated in Rio Grande do Sul. But cuisine in Porto Alegre is eclectic, and rice and beans sit on southern tables beside Italian and German dishes, due to the many European immigrants. Colonial coffee is served at 5 PM, with breads, pies, and German kuchen. Take the opportunity to try the traditional tea beverage known as “erva mate”. Porto Alegre is well known in Brazil for its diverse nightlife. The city’s clubs, pubs, bars and restaurants provide entertainment for a wide range of tastes and budgets, going from the cheap, traditional corner bar to all-night raves, and nightclubs. In the “SoHo” area of Porto Alegre, there is a block full of bars, restaurants and clubs. To get a sense of Porto Alegre’s history, start in the heart of the city in Praça da Matriz. The historic square dates back to the 1700s and is bounded by some of the city’s most notable sites like Catedral Metropolitana, an ode to the Italian Renaissance and birthplace of the city’s Catholic faith. Move to the center of the square to see a monument of beloved politician, Julio de Castilhos, which is a few steps away from the Castilhos family home and museum, chronicling Rio Grande do Sul’s history.
