Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, has the body of a metropolis, a cosmopolitan spirit and the soul of a province, all at once.
Walk its streets and you're surprised by lush greenery, hills and lakes. Historic buildings guard long-past memories, blending with the fast rhythm and architecture of a major urban center.
Rio Grande do Sul carries the unique traditions of the Gaúcho, the churrasco and folk music — a culturally rich state with attractions for every visitor, all year round.
