Is Sao Paulo a safer city to live than Rio De Janerio?

Question

I heard Brazil is notorious for its high crime rate.

Answer 1

Both cities have good areas and bad areas. I personally found Sao Paolo saver than Rio, but then again, it was just a feeling. Never has ever happened to me in neither of them.

If you're going I wish you a great time. I'm living in South America and I thinks it's great. People still enjoy their lives and aren't as negative as in developed countries.

Answer 2

Absolutely.  Sao Paulo is 100X safer, especially if you're in Itaim Bibi or Jardims
