Review:
Porto Alegre is the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, located in the southern region of Brazil near Aparados da Serra National Park. Visitors can stroll along the stalls and stands of Brique da Redenção, located in the Bom Fino neighborhood, to shop for art, crafts, and handmade goodies to bring home with them as a unique souvenir, or go for a walk in one of Porto Alegre’s beautiful parks, like Parque Moinhos de Vento, which features a waterfall, a lake, and a windmill. The city is very easily walkable, and once all that walking has worked up an appetite, visitors will be pleased to discover that Porto Alegre is home to some fantastic restaurants, where guests can enjoy some traditional gaucho barbecue or a cup of chimarrão yerba mate.
