Actually Fortaleza is one of Brazil's most beautiful place.

Answer 2

I really like Fortaleza. It's hot there but the breeze from the beach helps to cool off. I went to Beach Park a few years ago and loved it. I never felt afraid of walking in the streets at night. They have cheap and delicious food too.

Answer 3

Fortaleza is a nice city to visit in Brazil, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are within a few hours drive of Fortaleza. There are many great hotels, restaurants, shopping and people are very friendly. Prices are generally cheaper that what you will find in the south as well. There is a growing real estate market as many tourists (primarily from Europe) are investing there. Has a beautiful central market, and a mall (shopping) that was builted on a salt pan. It also have a strong culture, with music, dances, teathre and hollidays, along for instance the Carnival.Fortaleza is in northeast Brazil, and northeast  has many states near with a lot of beautiful beaches...
