Blumenau
Santa Catarina, Brazil
Municipality of Santa Catarina state, Brazil. It lies in southern Brazil, where winters are genuinely cold and summers are the high season.
Why visit: Rio's beaches and hills, São Paulo's restaurants and galleries, Salvador's Afro-Brazilian old town — each a different country's worth of city.
- ›Eat at a per-kilo lunch buffet — cheap, excellent and how Brazilians eat
- ›Use apps for taxis rather than hailing, especially after dark
- ›Carry a little cash and leave the rest at the hotel
- ›Ask locally which neighbourhoods to walk in at night; the answer changes by block
