Tips for travelling in Brazil

1. Brazil is a vast country with thrilling attractions running its length and breadth. If you have a busy travel itinerary, consider booking domestic travel and Brazil flights with Expedia to make journeys quicker and easier and give you more time for sightseeing.
2. If you need to get cash, make sure to withdraw it before 10 pm, as that’s when most Brazilian ATMs shut down for the night.
3. Brush up on a few Portuguese phrases. Unlike many South American countries, Brazil was colonised centuries ago by Portugal, not Spain, and the language spoken is Portuguese, not Spanish. It’s a good idea to have a few expressions ready to be polite and in case you encounter someone who doesn’t speak English.
