Travelling to Brazil for the World Cup 2014

The World Cup is always a good time for a bit of a geography lesson. So, who exactly are the host cities this time? Well, Rio de Janeiro needs no introduction. It’s a world-renowned beach city packed with entertainment.
São Paulo is the birthplace of Brazilian football and the biggest city in the country. Ultra-modern Brasilia is an architectural masterpiece and World Heritage site.
Belo Horizonte may not be as well-known but it’s also one of Brazil’s major cities and a perfect combination of green and urban landscape.
At 1.8 million inhabitants, Curitiba is smaller than many Brazilian cities but no less cosmopolitan thanks to the multi-cultural population. Fortaleza and Recife’s beaches make them some of the country’s major tourist destinations. Manaus isn’t ocean-side but it’s one of the most amazing places to get a stunning view of the Amazon River.
Natal is known as the city of the sun because of its amazing weather. They have many as 300 sunny days per year – quite a nice break from England!
