What to do in Recife?

Recife is one of the most exciting and vibrant cities in the northeast of Brazil; offering culture, history, entertainment, nightlife, beaches and a restaurant scene. Often called the ‘Venice of Brazil’, thanks to its many waterways, this picturesque city is a must for travellers in the region.

Start your visit with a wander around the old city, where you can see many of Recife’s top sights and landmarks; such as the Praca da Republica, Teatro Santa Isabel, Catedral de Sao Pedro dos Clerigos, and the Mercado do Sao Jose. Take in some culture at the Casa da Cultura (Culture House); a marketplace for local crafts plus a venue which hosts traditional music performances. You’ll find plenty of designer stores in Recife, and can indulge in some retail therapy at the RioMar Recife mall and shopping centre.

If you have the chance to explore further, take a taxi to the outskirts of the city where you can admire or purchase some of the amazing pottery at one of the local ceramic shops. Also in the area is the Instituto Ricardo Brennand, which is similarly worth a visit. A day trip to the neighbouring UNESCO-protected town of Olinda is another must - Here you can wander around the colourful houses and historical centre.

After all that sightseeing, there is no better way to relax than on the beach at Boa Viagem; you’ll find plenty of shops, restaurants and bars here. Don’t miss the massive street party which is Recife’s carnival - a better and less-touristy alternative to the Rio carnival.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
