Off the “beaten path”, the Cidade Baixa area in Porto Alegre is an unexpected little “Bohemia” in southern Brasil. An original section of the city and home to a major university, the neighborhood has cleverly combined history, art, and culture. Without the annoying tourist façade, the area reflects the lifestyle of young and old Brasilians with an abundance of bars, restaurants, and services. Street markets, plenty of green spaces, and smiles everywhere make the place feel genuine. Better yet, there wasn’t the usual army of “Bohemians” hustling folk. Maybe Greenwich Village 50 years ago? I could live there.
What Next?
