Recife

Located on the Gold Coast of Brazil (northeastern Brazil), Recife is a famous tourist destination for package tourists. Recife is also well known for the number of canals and bridges that crisscross this city. The city also has several good museums and churches. However, no visit to Recife is complete without a visit to the town’s old prison – to make your visit there more interesting, it’s now a shopping complex!
