Beautiful city! :happy:

Wow.. the best thread from vitória!! :banana:

nice...and surprising.

perfect island

Stunning!!

I love my city!!!! Amazing pictures...:)

nice modern city, looks somehow strange to european, in a positive way;)

The surroundings makes that city pretty special!

Damn, it is really beautiful!!!

I love the mountains how much of Brazil is mountain terrain?

Vitória is one of the most beautiful cities in Brazil!

nice pics! I love the bridge (I dont know the name)!

^^
You can call the bridge as 3ª ponte or the official name, Ponte Deputado Castelo de Mendonça!

My beautiful city! :D

It is so beautiful !

vitória means victory in english

beautiful city!

This why I like coming to this site, because I get to view and learn cities I never knew about. It's also interesting that Brazil has so many unique cities, it's kind of a shame that in the states when you mention Brazil, the first thing people mention is Rio and almost nothing else

fantastic!

the best pics ever!!thanks.

Beautiful pictures. :)

Brazil has so many beautiful cities...

Great photo's im so lucky to live there for 6 months! Leaving within a month :)

^^

Cool! if you can make a thread and take pictures about your experiences and post in the brazilian forum, or maybe here in the international, i'm sure people will enjoy. :)

You're right. And believe me, despite of what can be said in this forum, Brazil is not so in love with Rio as foreigners may think! In fact, sometimes it looks like Brazil has turned it back to that city and it's too much easy going population. Cariocas thinks sometimes that they are the essence of Brazilian soul:lol::lol::lol: God! How they are wrong!:bash::bash:

Belas fotos:D! gustei de la catedral gotica:D!! e muito bela:P! felicidades! bella cidade!!! muy muy bella!

I seem to remember you don't like Sao Paulo either! You don't like any other part of Brazil but Brasilia?

Wow never even heard of this city, but I really like it. Much better than Brasilia :) .

I see Vitória as a smaller Rio. The hills, the bridge... And it's also a nice city to live and visit ( turism is not so expensive comparing to Rio, SP and Salvador I guess ).

Wow never even heard of this city, but I really like it. Much better than Brasilia :) .

Brasilia is very "plastic". :s

I agree with you.

Have you ever heard something about "Lençois Maranhenses"?

It is the paradise on the earth. Please, see the pics.
Google it.
