A sunset cable car ride, a thundering waterfall, or exploring the world’s most important ecosystem by riverboat are just a handful of the lasting memories waiting to be made on a family vacation in Brazil.
Pepper that in with treats of pão de queijo (cheese bread) and brigadeiro (chocolate truffle) throughout the day, and you’ve got a trip that's perfect for kids of all ages. Here’s what you need to know about travel in Brazil with children.
Brazil is a fascinating country with an immense wealth of natural beauty and ecological interest for budding naturalists. If you have the kind of kids that will happily talk your head off about wildlife, they will love a trip to Brazil’s wilder regions.
On the other hand, if you’re just looking for a relaxing vacation to take a load off, Brazil’s got that too, with plenty of adrenaline pit stops mixed in to satisfy restless teenagers.
Brazil is also an incredibly welcoming culture when it comes to families, and children are widely accommodated in restaurants and other public spaces. You should have no issues rolling a stroller down the boulevard in Rio and most won’t bat an eye if you need to breastfeed while out and about.
It’s generally easy to find playgrounds and other entertainment for kids, not only in parks but also in supermarkets. Brazil even celebrates Children’s Day, a mid-April holiday with fun fairs and other parties taking place all over the country.
That said, all travelers should keep safety top of mind when traveling in Brazil, kids or no kids. The most common risk to travelers in Brazil is petty theft, so be sure to leave expensive jewelry at home and keep your phone and other electronics tucked away.
Brazil is a huge country and you’ll meet very few Brazilians who have traveled the length of the Atlantic coast and deep into the jungle and interior savannas, so there’s no need to try to see it all on one visit.
Beachside cities like Rio de Janeiro and Florianopolis are great choices for a trip to Brazil with kids, but if you have teenagers don’t discount a visit to inland São Paulo’s Beco do Batman, a street art mecca embedded in a funky, artsy neighborhood.
Whether your idea of an epic adventure is a trek through the jungle or snorkeling on a colorful reef, there’s plenty of natural beauty to explore and a huge regional diversity when it comes to climates and ecosystems.
Beyond the dense rainforest canopies, you can also find mountains of sand in northeastern states like Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte — these dunes are usually never far from gorgeous and family-friendly beach resorts.

In the historic streets of Trieste, an often overlooked town on Italy’s Istria peninsula, there is an aroma of coffee in the air. Dating back to the early 18th century, when the tax on coffee beans arriving at its port was waived, the city has had a deep association with coffee and was the main entry point for coffee beans into Europe. In the historic centre, visitors can still find some of the original coffee houses, modelled on those found in Vienna at the time and, each year, the city hosts the Trieste Coffee Festival.

I’m not sure what I expected, but it wasn’t this. Pictures barely do it justice. I was passing through West Texas, having already visited the nearby White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks, and figured this would be the easiest time to visit Big Bend National Park. I’d heard from a fellow traveler that it was his favorite park, and he’d been to all of them. With that in mind, I purposely limited how much I’d see of the park before I arrived. I wanted to be surprised, and boy was I.
A diverse crop of new ships will set sail in 2024, including intimate yacht-style vessels to never-before-seen mega ships from luxury players like Silversea and Cunard. There will be plenty of bells and whistles expected of these brands, including restaurants from top chefs, but also a few features new to the industry (think glass domes on the hull). Some are sister ships to those already on the waters, but with enough points of difference to feel like something entirely new—including the soon-to-be-sailing largest ship in the world, from Royal Caribbean, of course.
