Brazil is one of the main destinations for tourism and business in South America, and there are so many things you could do while visiting us!


However, this is a country that could be a little intimidating for foreigners, so I put together here a glance of what you need to know, and you can't easily find this on google or trip advisor.


1. What is the currency used in Brazil?

By law, the Brazilian real (R$) is the only currency accepted in Brazil. Dollars or any other currencies are NOT accepted, but it is really easy to find places to exchange money.





2. Is it safe to drink tap water in Brazil?

Maybe in some cities like São Paulo or Porto Alegre, so I wouldn't recommend it. however it is okay to ask for ice in restaurants ;)





3. What are the main national festivals and holidays?

Carnaval, New Years, Christmas, Easter.




4. What is the main language spoken in Brazil?

Portuguese is the main and only official language in the country. Only 5% of the citizens speak some english.
