Recife Essentials

Recife's landscape is defined by its historic center, Recife Antigo, where the 17th-century Kahal-Zur-Israel synagogue and the Baroque Golden Chapel stand. Cultural heritage is preserved in the Paço do Frevo and Cais do Sertão museums. The city's artistic legacy is showcased through the works of Francisco Brennand at his ceramic workshop and the offshore Sculpture Park. Beyond the urban beaches of Boa Viagem, visitors can explore the Ricardo Brennand Institute’s vast collection of European weaponry and the São José Market’s traditional Pernambucan handicrafts.
