Great vibe, good beach and awesome weather.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Recife was not what I expected. Run down streets/lots of pot holes. Filthy city, stagnant water canals full of trash, old dumped furniture and rats!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Airport FYI - Arrive to your gate early. The flight before mine left 10 minutes early stranding several people who thought they still had time to board. My flight also left 10 minutes early.

3/5 - Okay

Lionel

Nice beach town. However on certain areas like Boa Viagem are nice. However, the city infrastructure is poor.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

It is my favorite city in Brasil and I’ve been to several. Lots of things to do and it’s very clean and modern with an old historic area. The Ricardo Brennand museum is amazing. I recommend it.

4/5 - Good

Ron

Great cultural and crafts city. It has great food, music and friendly people. It's wise to not flash jewelry or valuables and try to travel in groups, especially after dark. If careful, any visitor should have a memorable experience.
