Rio de Janerio or Sao Paulo, Brazil ? Which city should I go to and is it safe?

Answer 1

I suggest Rio de Janeiro

it means river of January.

you can visit there: Copacabana and Ipanema , nice places.

is famous for it's nice beaches.

rio de janeiro has an annual carnival that is famous in all the world , the statue of Jesus Christ on the Corcovado mountain. (very big statue)

Answer 2

Rio de Janeiro is definitely the more beautiful and interesting city.

In both you have to be careful where you go and when. Don't flaunt jewelry and preferably don't carry a bag.

Answer 3

For tourism?

Rio de Janeiro, it's for tourists.

Both cities are dangerous, but Rio is a bit more.

I think São Paulo worths a visit, It's the 4th biggest city in the World, very interesting.

Answer 4

Rio..    

Sao Paulo is for work ..   and it has no beaches ..

Rio is for entertainment ..    and has beautiful beaches...

Answer 5

sao paulo is much better! and in an hour with the car u can arrive to guaruja,,, and the beach is much better than rio!

Answer 6

Depends on what are you interested in... If you prefer beachs , Rio is the best place to go. But if you are keen on night life, clubbing and culture, Sao Paulo (Sampa as is it now by the locals) is the best place to head.
