Hey, what's up????? :cool:

Last week I went with "boom" (brazilian forumer) to Porto Alegre and we took some pics there! Porto Alegre is placed in Rio Grande do Sul State, in the South of Brazil, and it's the 4th most important city in the country! Well, I hope you all enjoy and I would like to see some replies! :D ;)

Wow, wonderful, amazing!!

excellent pics of an excellent city.. ;)

beautiful!

:drool:

Beautiful photos. Porto Alegre seems like a much more livable city than the super cities of Brazil like Sao Paulo and Rio. It has a nice mix of the old and the new.

Thanks for your replies! :)

I LIKE PORTO ALEGRE!!! :) :) :) :) :) :runaway:

Beautiful pictures!

What type camera do you use PLS ?

woow beautiful city!!

sorry,but porto alegre is not the 4h most important city in brazil.

1-são paulo
2-rio de janeiro
3-brasília
4-belo horizonte
5-recife
6-porto alegre

^^

:lol:

Desde quando Recife é mais importante que Porto Alegre? Nada contra Recife, pelo contrário, mas pelo que eu saiba Porto Alegre mais a sua Região Metropolitana têm o 4o maior PIB do Brasil, além de localizarem no 4o Estado mais rico do país! Pra mim isso já basta! Bom, e Brasília "não conta"... É a capital do Brasil e os parâmetros são diferentes...

Wonderful pics!!! It makes me wish go visit tthe city :okay: !!

Are u crazy or ignorant? Just the GDP of Porto Alegre metropolitan area its bigger than the GDP of the whole state of Pernambuco.

And the GDP of Rio Grande do Sul its bigger than Pernambuco´s GDP combined with Bahia´s GDP...

Go find yourself a book and learn a lil bit...

Both of you aren not updated

I love Porto Alegre... it has culture, history and charm. on the other hand, curitiba that has no charm at all, completelly emergent, is way richer than porto alegre now a days. in terms of size... porto alegre is the 10th mos important

Sao Paulo
Rio de Janeiro
Salvador
Belo Horizonte
Fortaleza
Brasilia
Curitiba
Recife
Belem
Porto Alegre

muy bonita esta ciudad es muy monumental

Baaaaaah, não acredito que eu li isso...

Porto Alegre a 10a cidade mais importante do Brasil?! Sim, é a 10a MAIOR, mas isso NÃO faz dela a 10a mais importante! Outra coisa, Belém não é maior que Porto Alegre... Manaus que É... E Manaus é maior que Recife também... Curitiba pode ter maior PIB que Porto Alegre (não muito), mas a região metropolitana de Porto Alegre é muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuito mais rica... Tem um PIB que é quase o DOBRO do da região metropolitana de Curitiba... Seguindo esse teu raciocínio da população... Tu acredita piamente que São Gonçalo (RJ) é mais importante que Niterói...? Tás precisando te atualizar...

Concordo com o Farrapo, ser maior não significa ser mais importante, ou mais rica!!! Não tiro nada doque ele disse! E aliás, nesse ranking de maiores, demonstra bem isso, já que BH é menor que Salvador e mesmo assim é mais rica!!! :)

Tenham um bom dia e cuidem se!!!

Nice town!

:omg: Very beautiful! Looks very laidback and liveable. Plenty of sunshine. I love those old houses. Great pictures. Thank you very much sharing!! :okay:

Another fantastic Brazilian city, one more example of South America´s hidden urban jewels.

Wonderful city

This city is "a must" in Brasil :)

Wonderful place, really beautiful and hidden.

But he said the 4th most important, not the 4th bigger, so:
1. São Paulo
2. Rio de Janeiro
3. Belo Horizonte
4. Porto Alegre

Nice pics, BTW!!! :applause:

Sorry Muckie, but you are wrong. Curitiba is not WAY richer than Porto Alegre.
Porto Alegre GDP in 2002: R$ 13.079.160.000,00
Curitiba GDP in 2003: R$ 15.440.000.000,00
Porto Alegre pop 2005: 1.428.696
Curitiba pop 2005: 1.757.904
Porto Alegre GDP per capíta (GDP 2002, pop 2005): R$ 9154
Curitiba GDP per capita (GDP 2003, pop 2005): R$8783

So you see, even when you use Curitiba´s GDP from 2003, its GDP per capita is smaller than the GDP per capita of Porto Alegre using GDP from 2002 data!!!!

So, not only Curitiba is not richer than Porto Alegre, as also Porto Alegre has a metro area bigger than Curitiba, with 3.7 million people (4th largest in Brasil), and with many richer cities than Curitiba´s metro cities. If you take metros in account, Porto Alegre is WAY richer than Curitiba, both in total GDP as in GDP per capita.

So I guess you should really take in account the fact Porto Alegre metro area is the 4th largest in Brasil. And in economic and cultural importance, Porto Alegre lists higher than Recife, Curitiba, maybe even Salvador.

LOVELY!

Very nice shots.
The older part of the town looks really beautiful (pics 44-56).

Is there some kind of bus rapid transit in Porto Alegre like in Curitiba?

yup, there are several avenues with bus-only corridors.

Nice pics!

Wonderful !!! Spectacular city!!!

looks like the uruguay cities

Great pics. I will move this to the new Urban Showcase section.

^^ Great photos of my hometown! Congratulations for the photos! Can't wait to go back to Porto Alegre...december is coming though...

4-Curitiba-PR
5-Belo Horizonte-MG
6-Porto Alegre-RS
7-Manaus-AM
8-Barueri-SP

Yeah, and Barueri is more important than Salvador, right? :nuts: Do you really think that? When you say that one city is more important than other, you can't analyse only its "PIB"... ;)

Aí só esta o pib da cidade principal, atualmente a maneira correta é pegar o Pib de toda a RM.

Now thats a good thread of this city!awesome,great pictures of POA!

Please stop arguing in portuguese, only we can understand it ...

The title should be something like that: The 4th most important metro in Brazil. Anyway, Porto Alegre is beautiful and I still havent visited it yet, but I will in September.

Awesome pictures there, it certainly looks very attractive and green! The older buildings look particularly beautiful.

É ridiculo voces ficarem discutindo 'quem é o mais importante' !! Meu Deus, que ignorancia, nao importa quem é mais importante, se é um ou se é outro. Somos todos um só país. Seja Porto Alegre, Curitiba ou qualquer outra, isso tudo é Brasil.


Pelo menos deveriam respeitar o tópico que tem belas fotos da linda Porto Alegre. Isso mostra o 'porque' da demora de enfim nos tornarmos uma naçao desenvolvida. A desunião do país..um estado querendo ser melhor que o outro, enquanto deveriamos querer ser melhores que outros paises..

So, they are writing in portuguese, but what they are writing is not important...

they are just discussing 'who is most important' ¬¬'

Beautiful, very nice photos from Porto Alegre :)

Very nice shots.

Is there some kind of bus rapid transit in Porto Alegre like in Curitiba?

Porto Alegre has the best bus system in whole Latinamerica.

beautiful city! hope one they build a highway between Montevideo and Porto Alegre :)

Great shoots from Porto Alegre!

It's truly the 4th most relevant city of Brazil. It's At least is the 4th largest metropolitan area in terms of population. If you consider GDP it would be 5th. It's a great city anyway.
