Muito melhor que Guarujá...!!!! Não sabia que Camboriu tinha só 70 e poucos mil habitantes....isso deve dar a Camboriu o primeiro lugar no Brasil para high-rises/ hab

BC is the 4th best city to live in Brazil, many old people choose to live over there and BC is the home for many Argentinians who came from the crisis. It has a very pleasant climate and it has everything someone wants: good nightlife (ppl go from Blumenau to BC sometimes on the weekends in their nightclubs), good restuarants, good bars, a good shopping mall and a mc donald's! ahahha

I have some pics of BC too:

eu votei dez... mas cah entre nós em portugues pros gringos naum entenderem... Camboriu tem um mar realmente poluido... e uma praia e avenida beira mar muito finas... com predios taum altos taum perto da praia, as 2 da tarde jah naum tem mais sol, soh sombra na praia.


Prefiro mil vezes as prais q ficam perto de Camboriu: Itapema, Bombas e Bombinhas.

that's a dense and a hell of a lot scrapers for 73,000 inhabitants. but on the other hand, there's nothing interesting scrapers, nothing that stand out. so i vote 6.5/10

The problem in BC is that it receives too many tourists. I mean, it's a 70,000 inh. city from April to November and a 1,000,000 city from December to March (on Summer) and well, now you can imagine the big deal they have with TRAFFIC JAMS. You cannot go outside by car, you have to do everything by foot, and it's not a TINY city.

I think they should build a subway line in BC :D

The beaches nearby have a similar or worse problem. I usually spend my vacations in Itapema, which is very close to it and once I had to go to Bombinhas (3 beaches south, about 15km) and we took 2 hours to go and 1h30min to come back :)

AcesHigh: Itapema também tá lotando e ficando meio sujo.

9/10

prefiro mesmo eh ir pra Garopaba e praias ao redor (Guarda, Rosa, Ferrugem, etc). São lindas e alem disso são mais perto do RS.

Yes defenetly Camboriu should be the brazilian city with more hi-rise per inhabitants.

PS. Most of the buildings are 20 and more, and I think that the tallest shoud have some 35 floors (but I'm not sure about the tallest).

Pior é que é verdade, a cidade é ótima com uma vida noturna intensa ( no verão), mas as praias são muito sujas, da ultima vez que fui lá meu primo sai com catarão na cabeça e eu não ficaria assustado se não fosse outra coisa marrom (vcs sabem).

Bem mais o ideal "era" usar BC como ponto de partida, digo se hospedar lá para poder curtir a noite sossegado e de dia ir de carro para as outras praias mais próximas, porém toda essa região centro e norte de SC já tá ficando muito cheia.
Bombinhas que era minha praia favorita naquela região, hoje tá quase impossivel chegar lá de carro, da ultima vez (janeiro passado) gastei 1h30min para fazer 1,5km no centro de Bombinhas, bem no final daquela "avenida", perto das lojinhas.


Bom mais acho que aqui estamos votando pelo skyline então é isso ai.

Não só Itapema mais toda aquela região, até Itapoá (não sei se voces conhecem fica em SC quase na divisa com PR), era um fim de mundo a 5 anos hoje já ta ficando lotada.

é que vai TODO mundo da região do Vale do Itajaí pra lá, TODO mundo, a cidade morre, não fica ninguém aqui em Blumenau, fora todo mundo que vem de São Paulo, Curitiba e vem MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUITA gente do RS, aí satura!

Itapema era tranqüilo até +- 1999, era cheio, mas dava pra andar de carro, mas agora tá insuportável, e o problema de Bombinhas é que, pra chegar até lá voce tem que entrar em Porto belo (Perequê). Não tem acesso pela 101, tem que construir um acesso pra lá URGENTE, não dá mais assim como tá!

The tallest is standing in the second row, having 42 storeys. ;)

10 points, as it is a mere village, but the skyline is that of a big city! 1.035 buildings!:D :eek2: :eek: :cool:

Eles deviam fazer que nem em Guaruja , construir um emissário submarino...lembro que as praias do Guaruja eram nojentas de tao poluidas, agora elas tão bem limpas

42 storeys not bad for a city with 73k, I didn't think it was all that much.

:okay:

i don't like high density of skyscrapers especially on the coast.

Thick dense jungle......I like!! Has some height, but needs a bit more depth and focus to it, and please some more beautiful buildings.

i think that all those people who voted 3 are out of their minds or are from Benidorm, Spain :)

dense city with lots of buildings .. i like it

The height is nothing special, but the density is good. 6/10

LBlumenau, com essas fotos tuas acho que nenhum gringo vai dizer "poor architecture"

Very very dense, but architecture is boring and not tall enough. But considering the city's size, it is okay! ;)

I think the skyline's rel. tall for Brazil! I especially like the waterfront. 7/10

8. Good. Regards.

6,5/10

I think a good or bad design does not define a skyline, obviously a landmark like the Eiffel Tower the most recognizable skyline ago but for example the New York skyline basically consists of boxes.

in this case as very dense but not particularly different from other skylines, with some iconic building or a mountain would be nearly 10
