Where to Travel in Brazil? Talk About Your Trip in Portuguese

Ask for a recommendation

Start with a direct question. You can use it with a Brazilian friend, teacher, or host:

• Que lugar você recomenda? — What place do you recommend?
• Qual lugar você mais gosta no Brasil? — What place do you like most in Brazil?
• Você já foi para lá? — Have you been there?

To make your question more specific, add para visitar (to visit) or name the kind of trip you have in mind.

Explain what kind of trip you want

These phrases help someone understand what you enjoy. The examples work as conversation practice; the best destination depends on each traveler’s interests and plans.

• Gosto de praia. — I like the beach.
• Prefiro conhecer cidades. — I prefer exploring cities.
• Quero conhecer a natureza. — I want to experience nature.
• Estou procurando um lugar tranquilo. — I’m looking for a quiet place.
• Quantos dias você recomenda? — How many days do you recommend?

Practice dialogue: choosing a destination

This original example combines the questions above. Try reading it once, then cover the English and follow the conversation in Portuguese.
