Introducing João Pessoa
The coastal city of João Pessoa is the capital of Paraíba and the third-oldest city in Brazil. It claims to have more trees than any other capital city, including an Atlantic rain forest preserve, and has a reputation for being friendly and safe (some would say boring). Tourism is developing gradually here, and the city is an increasingly popular destination for Brazilian families. The city center has a few interesting churches, and Praia de Tambaú is particularly clean and relaxed for an urban beach.
