Where to stay in Recife: Best areas for travelers

• Centro: Whether you're planning to stay for a few nights or a lot longer, this area is a very popular place to base yourself. Spend your days wandering around local attractions like Porto Cult and your nights catching up on Zs at one of the hotels here. The Pousada das Galinhas, the Anchor Flat Resort, Beira Mar, 02 km From the Town of Porto de Galinhas, 06 People and the Estação do Sol Praia Hotel are some traveler favorites.

• Boa Viagem: Some travelers come to this neighborhood for the day, some stay a week. For an excellent night's rest, you needn't look further than the Bugan Recife Hotel by Atlantica, the Vela Branca Praia Hotel and the Hotel Enseada Boa Viagem. When it comes time to start exploring the neighborhood, don't miss Dona Lindu Park, Recife Shopping Center and Boa Viagem Square.

• Olinda: Organizing a family vacation can be tricky — but this neighborhood makes it easier. Check the gang in to the Hotel Samburá, the Hotel Costeiro or the Hotel 5 Sois. Once the kids are awake and eager for some fun, take them to Mirabilandia Amusement Park and Coqueiral Park.

• Jaboatao dos Guararapes: If your main goal is to check off as many sights as you can on your vacation, this neighborhood has your name written all over it. Make Candeias Beach your first stop before heading on over to Piedade Beach and Guararapes Shopping. When your legs are exhausted from all that walking, kick your shoes off and climb into a cozy bed at the Scenarium Hotel, the Hotel e Motel dos Prazeres or the Hotel Anahi.

• Pina: Whether you plan to stay for one night or a week in the city, this neighborhood is a superb choice. During the day, check out popular attractions, like Pina Beach, Shopping Rio Mar and Barreto Junior Theater. When the sun sets, kick back and relax in a comfortable hotel like the Hotel Luzeiros Recife, the Marante Executive Hotel or the ibis Recife Boa Viagem.
