About Porto Alegre
Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, is a southern Brazilian city on the shore of the Guaíba, with gaúcho culture, barbecue and lakeside sunsets.
Porto Alegre is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, in the far south of Brazil, built on hills along the broad Guaíba, a lake-like waterway where several rivers meet. The Mercado Público, a nineteenth-century covered market, anchors the centre, and the Usina do Gasômetro, a former power station beside the water, has become an arts centre whose terrace is a favourite spot at sunset.
