With more than 106 million addresses, Brazil has neighborhoods worth visiting

From historic neighborhoods to modern neighborhoods […]

With the recent release of address data in Brazil, we’ve learned more about where we live.

According to the IBGE’s CNEFE (National Register of Addresses for Statistical Purposes), the country has 106,814,877 different addresses. More than 24 million of them unnumbered, most in Goiás (2.46 million); and 2.7 million unnamed (314.5 thousand in Bahia alone).

“The address is also an indicator of citizenship. This means that the citizen who lives in an address without a number or in a street or avenue without a name suffers from some type of deficit in his citizenship”, analyzes Eduardo Baptista, director of CNEFE.

But in this world of CEP, some Brazilian neighborhoods function as tourist attractions themselves and, in some cases, are more popular than the city in which they are located.

From historic neighborhoods to modern neighborhoods, check out the list of Booking.com of unmissable Brazilian neighborhoods that you can include in your tourist itinerary, in cities such as Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Goiânia and Belo Horizonte.
