10 Best Big Cities to live in Brazil! 

Very good list, congrats! We’re having a milder winter in Curitiba this year, and the city gets really charming during the colder months. Come visit us this year again!

Hello from England! Your videos are very helpful for planning a move to Brazil

Great video. Thanks

I like your list. But yes I would consider the suburb in the city or a nearby town. The summer beach season is full on and soo hot. Good for a young person but a retiree, hmm. Vitoria in winter is much more interesting than the summer (for me). Curitiba is not as cold in winter as I first thought but it is humid. Brasilia has very low humidity which I found uncomfortable. Good airport connections though. Maringa is very hot in summer, very nice in winter. Franca is an interesting one. But none of these is my favorite :)).

Hey Nordic.. here is my help list over 100k inhabitants :) heheeh thanks for the video!! 1 - São José dos Campos (best City) 2 - Florianópolis (best Capital) 3 - Indaiatuba 4 - Curitiba 5 - Sorocaba 6 - João Pessoa 7 - Vitória 8 - Brasília 9 - Niterói 10 - Campina Grande

Hi, i was thinking about move to Brazil and whenever i did research about quality of life there, somehow it always gravitated toward one city in the interior of Sao Paulo, and that city is Piracicaba, near Campinas. It's similar to Jundiai regarding the quality of life and crime, but it's also cheaper. I think you should definitely check it out!

Very good List indeed , I would just swap Jundiaí or Blumenau for São José dos Campos also in Sao Paulo Outskirts, which from my perpective is THE BEST BIG CITY to live in Brazil... the reasons: 1 -> São José dos Campos is the first Inteligent city in Brazil, has maybe biggest technological spot in whole latin America; 2-> Headquartes of Jhonson & Jhonson, Panasonic, Embraer, etc... 3-> Murder rates (6,5) below 10 murders per 100thousand inhabitants, which is very good for brazilian standards and very low robery rates; 4-> PERFECT location (1hour drive from GRU airport, the largest International airport in S.America),; 5-> 1 hour 20min. drive to the (Mantiqueira Mountains Range, Monte Verde, Campos do Jordão etc); 6-> 1 hour 10min to North Coast Sea of Sao Paulo (Caraguá, Ilhabela, Ubatuba, Paraty RJ) 7-> Relatively big expat comunity 8 -> Infraestructure (Some of best roads in Brazil (Carvalho Pinto, Tamoios); 9-> Between São Paulo and Rio; 10-> Very Modern and clean city, high income population, high number of doctors per inhabitant, loads of green areas; I would take out Jundai? -> Too close to Sao Paulo Capital, you keep the having the caos feeling of Sao Paulo..heheheh I would take out Blumenau -> Bad location, poor logistics infraestructure (roads to reach are very simple), backwards minded oriented people (of course not all of them, but many)

I have already lived in Blumenau and Florianópolis are good cities, by way of the tourists the cost of living is expensive, but good cities, maybe I put on the list Belo Horizonte and Goiânia

You did a good job with this ranking, but I believe that Joinville is a large city with a better quality of life compared to Franca and, especially, compared to João Pessoa.

Jundiaí, Maringa and Franca. NO WAY. For a foreigner that wants sun and beaches, Florianópolis. For a colder city, Curitiba, and for the perfect small city, Gramado.

I would not agree with Blumenau. There is only one small park in the city, called Ramiro Ruediger. In the summer its too hot. The mountains around are the cause of that. The city is very loud (cars) and to go hiking you need a car and a whole day..

In my opinion, this cities like: Jundiaí, Indaiatuba, Vinhedo, Itú, Campinas are the best places to live in Brazil. Near the beches, near the montains, best Universities, best jobs, near São Paulo, near Vira Copos airport etc. Safety nunbers beter than USA and Canada Cities.

Any city is good if you have money, thats the truth 😂 Obviously there's problematic cities like Rio or Salvador, that I wouldn't recommend moving.

Correction: infraestruture in Belo Horizonte is terríble, much worse than São Paulo, Paraná etc. The roads, Parks, metro, bus Lines, services are very bad. No comparison with State of São Paulo and Paraná cities. Economy is much worse. Guarulhos is much safer than here. Im from Guarulhos SP and now Im living in BH.😢

I'm Brazilian, unfortunately the cities was good cities in the past,now is home of drugs addicts,homeless in every neighborhood of the city, it's a pity, Brazil is a wonderful country,but in this moment with this bad government etc,that is not good idea to move to Brazil,must of Brazilian are leaving Brazil..

Big cities or middle cities the only big was Belo Horizonte.
