Recife

The state capital of Pernambuco, Recife, is a port city in northeastern Brazil. The city is situated close to South America's easternmost point on the Atlantic Ocean coast. One of Brazil's largest cities, it is split into many districts by rivers. The three main counties are Santo Antônio, the administrative center on the island of Antônio Vaz, Boa Vista, and So José, the financial and economic hub on a peninsula. The city has a total area of 218 km2, a metropolitan area of 2,768 km2, a population of 1,515 million, and a population of 6.88 million for the entire metropolitan region.

Recife is occasionally referred to be the Venezia of the Americas because of all the rivers that exist there. The city's primary industries are cement manufacture, leather goods, textiles, metals, fruit and vegetable processing, cement import and export, and refined sugar. Among the educational institutions in the city include the Federal University of Pernambuco (1946), the Catholic University of Pernambuco (1951), and the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (founded in 1954). The primary airport serving this city is Guararapes International Airport. Recife was founded by Europeans in 1535, conquered by the British in 1595, and then held by the Dutch from 1630 until 1654.

Due to its beaches and historical attractions, Recife stands out as a top tourist destination in Brazil's northeast. The city is renowned for having the finest Carnival in Brazil, according to many. Frevo, a brisk Brazilian music and dance group, is likewise based in the city of Recife. You must utilize a little, vibrant umbrella while performing the Frevo movements, which have their origins in Capoeira routines
