Finally a gringo showing Porto Alegre. I am tired of everyone thinking brazil is only Rio. Very good review

As a Brazilian American, born in Porto Alegre, I want to express my gratitude to you for showing the gauchos' capital. The flood of 2024 damaged many areas of Porto Algre, but not our spirit. We will be back.Thank you very much.

So nice and, at the same time, so sad to see how Porto Alegre was before the floods that hit RS hard in May 2024. Some of the places shown in the video were severely damaged. Hopefully, everything could be rebuilt and even improved. The Gaucho people, Brazil, and everyone else deserve a joyful Port again.

"Brazilian cowboy swords"... That is the best definition ever for "espetos"😅 Thank you for this amazing video! Greetings from Porto Alegre :)

Bahhh, é muito tri ver um gringo elogiando a cidade que mais amo 😍🥰🥹💓

I think the majority of people watching this video are from Porto Alegre. Am I right tchê?

Glad you enjoyed your stay here bro. Come to the country side next time. We gauchos welcome you

Hi! Im from Poa (how we affectionately calls Porto Alegre) and Im so happy to a “gringo” wants to knows our city and enjoy it!! Especially after the flood… thanks to show for the world how incredible are our city! obs: Mario Quintana was a very popular artist after his death, he had a several health problems so he couldn’t go out and then his parents created a hotel to him - and to the people. His room was away from everything and everyone. His poetry is very beautiful and famous in our state until now.

Que bom q gostaram. Voltem sempre.

As a gaúcho, it's so awesome seeing people from another countries visiting our state. I'm glad that you experienced our churrasco and liked it and I really hope you got to experience pão de alho too. It has to be one of the best things to eat together with churrasco. And I can agree, Brazilian food is awesome. My favourite thing about it is how we take food from other cultures and improve it in our own way. And if you come back to Brazil, you should totally visit Palmeira das Missões and some countryside cities. They are the best.

Cool video! Porto Alegre is one of the best cities in Brazil Ive ever visited! People there were so polite and kind to my family and their food was stunning!

As a porto-alegrense (how we call the people born in Porto Alegre), I am very happy and grateful for you to have shared a little of our city and our culture! Brazil is a very vast country both territorially and culturally. Porto Alegre may not be the biggest or most known brazilian city but is a beautiful and enchanting city and I think that everyone who doesn't know the city should one day visit Porto Alegre! I'm happy that you enjoyed our city!

For me, as a citizen born and residing in Porto Alegre, I'm happy and congratulate you on the great video. On your next visit, I suggest you also visit the football stadiums and learn a bit about the history of our teams Sport Club Internacional and Gremio Football Porto Alegrense, which have great national and international achievements. There's also the Theatro São Pedro, the Parcão, the Guaíba Sunset, and also about the traditionalist culture (CTG).

I live in Porto Alegre and I love being here. Of course, Brazil is not perfect, but qualities and defects exist everywhere. The problem is that I see many people who have never set foot in our country saying things they don't know. Brazil is beautiful and we have always been known for being happy, talking a lot and hugging each other a lot. ❤

To be honest I'm very surprise because I've never seen a foreign review video about Porto Alegre. The way the barbecue restaurant served you was invented in my hometown.

Parque Farroupilha Magic is on weekends, when it gets totally full with people drinking... Err, mate, and talking, and the Redenção Fair with arts and stuff

I'm a native of Porto Alegre and I can say with confidence, you chose great places to showcase a little of our city. And I'm sure they didn't go hungry haha. Come back to Porto Alegre in September and get to know our Gaucho culture during Farroupilha Week. I bet you will like it and eat a lot of barbecue. Tks buddy.

You know what pushed me to subscribe? That goofy mind control bit! It was adorable! Thanks for showcasing my hometown :)

I love it how everywhere you go, you stop for a HUGE cup of coffee filled with whipped cream and chocolate... no wonder you enjoy every spot in Brazil.... 😅😅😅

I’m really glad you had a such good experience in our city. It was a shame you probably went to Parque Farroupilha in a week day. In Sundays is a very nice place to hang out with family and stroll around the Brique da Redenção fair

Honestly this feels like alternate reality watching this, I almost never see many foreigners here, I’m always around these places, and to see Americans here, with good energy and spirits, spending some time and reviewing the city was very fun, I really enjoyed it!

So happy to see tourists going to places in Brazil besides Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Brazil is much more than one single identity, and as a Gaucho, I salute you.

Really glad that you showed our state capital, its very important to us you showing our beloved city after the last flood, greetings from POA ❤‍🩹

My city!! I work just on the side of the Mercado Público! Great Video!

"Happy Harbour" is a much better translation for the name of the city 😅 0:04

Tks for coming and showing my city. I love to live here. I was born here and I wish the best for this incredible city.

wow ! really nice to see you speaking and showing more about my local city

so cool to see your perspective about my city. It is really rare to have foreigners visiting us, and I feel really great you could enjoy the "gaucho culture" =D

Everybody in Brazil bash our city, so thanks for visiting, nice video.

Great video, love from Porto Alegre!

Amazing video my friend. I was born and raised in Porto Alegre but now live in a nearby city called Canoas. I almost came to tears watching this because the Mercado Publico and all you showed at the beginning of the video were flooded by 1.8 meters of water in May 2024... The city, and all the Rio Grande do Sul suffer quite a bit, and the recovery is slow, but we're all doing our best, so one day you can come back, and maybe eat some "Xis Burger" here in Canoas as well :)

Thank you for visiting our city. You are always welcome.

It's really cool to have you here, I loved the video, I hope you enjoyed it, a hug from the Gaúcho people

i'm glad you liked it! as one of the citizens of Rio Grande do Sul (the state that Porto Alegre belongs), i really love how you appreciated a big part of our culture!

Thank you for this beautiful video. I'm from porto Alegre and I can finally show my city, sharing this video to my English husband ♥️. He has never been to Brazil.

Thank you for sharing about my City, I was borne and live here.

hey! next time try going to Redenção (Farophillia Park) on a weekend! i would recommend goind specially on a sunday, when there is the "Brique" - Lots of "street stores" with unique items! Also, you can drink a "Caldo de Cana" and eat a "Pastel", which is a very good and cultural combination!!! its so nice to watch your experience in our city :) hope u come back soon! Porto Alegre has a lot to offer- specially in sunny weekends!

Thank you so much for showing our culture and for doing a great video about the city where I live!!

This video was a great surprise! Thanks for showing Porto Alegre to the world. It is a great city to live in with one of the best food in the country. You have to come back next time to try the Italian food in a type of restaurant we call 'galeteria'. Mamma Mia, Pastaciutta and D'Italiani are some great examples. Also the pizzas, eating a 'rodízio', where they serve all flavors of pizza,. You would be in love, and shocked, swear! Congrats for the video, it was really amazing!

KZfaq is so cool! Simplesmente aparece o vídeo de um gringo no meu feed, visitando a minha cidade, conversando com um evangelista! Qual a probabilidade disso acontecer? LOL Parabéns pelo video, muito bem feito, mas ainda existem alguns lugares bem interessantes para se visitar em Porto Alegre! Voltem sempre!

The best day to go to Farroupilha Park is on Sunday, because there is a huge art fair. Thank you for showing the world our city ❤

Mate is disgusting? Automatically denied visas to enter Argentina, Uruguay... Excommunicated by the Pope if you are Catholics, , made enemies with Aragorn, from Lord of the Rings (actor lived in Argentina in his teens and loves mate) Ps: ever watched the series Ted Lasso on Apple TV? Reminded me of Ted Lasso, American, accidentally drinking English tea and saying "I always thought tea was horrible... I was right"

i got emotinal seeing you showing the city i was born and i've lived for my whole life, thank you

Such a nice video of our city, thank you! Also, for those who come to Porto Alegre, don't miss the sunsets by Ibere Camargo museum and the Pontal park, always surreal vibes mainly during weekends. I'd also recommend hanging out at districts such as Moinhos de Vento and Bom Fim, lots of amazing restaurants and coffee shops. Also Parcão (Moinhos de Vento park) is much safer than Redenção, but Redenção, on the other hand, gets super joyful and full of life during sunny weekends, definitely a better time to go there

Filmagens muito boas!! Parabéns!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻... Welcome to South Brazil, Porto Alegre City!!👍🏻👍🏻

Thx for come. You are welcome. ❤

Primeira vez que vejo algum gringo viajando pra cá, espero que voltem mais vezes ❤❤❤❤

living here all my life ive never seen the city through this perspective, i really like living here but it was never something crazy, you make me appreciate my hometown a little more, thanks

It's nice to live in Porto Alegre and to see your video! Just a quick note: the meat cut isn't "Alcatraz," it's just "Alcatra," which is also my favorite! We have a lot of mixed culture with Uruguay, so I recommend trying their barbecue as well-you won't regret it. The Casa de Cultura Mário Quintana used to be a hotel, and Mário Quintana was a famous Brazilian poet and journalist who lived there for several years. I would also suggest visiting the Gasômetro, the floating pub, and taking the White Swan trip. Gasômetro is an old power plant that has been converted into a museum and event space. There's an old tower that's approximately 100 meters high. The floating pub is a pub and restaurant built on the water next to Gasômetro. Just beside it, you'll find the port where you can board the White Swan and other boats for a trip on the Guaíba River. The trip isn't long, but it's amazing, especially on a sunny day, because you can see the islands and the famous sunset from the shore.

Thank you for your time to appreciate Brazil and hope you had the best experience we can offer

Thank you for visiting my city. You have another subscriber

You know who else has been there at the Mercado Público? Dua Lipa 😂 Nice seeing my city from your perspective, thanks for stopping by Sad it was cloudy, cause the sunset here is our main postcard, and seeing it from Casa de Cultura is a nice experience And "the central park" has another vibe on a sunny sunday, with lots of people, a fair, food and sometimes music P.s: loved Cali saying "obrigada" to the waiter, that's really brazilian of her, cause we say that a hundred times in a rodízio when they serve us something 😂

So nice to see someone talks about Porto Alegre like this. Nevertheless I came here from the future to tell you that this city that ou knew it is a completely different city after the flood. Here on my channel you will have a sincere report of a Porto Alegre citizen suffering the devastating flood that took place here

Uau, fiquei até emocionado e com vontade de chorar vendo minha cidade a qual tenho tanto orgulho ser tão reconhecida positivamente por um gringo. Que vídeo sensacional!!! Porto Alegre é demais!

Wow! I love knowing that people from outside Brazil are finally coming to explore more than just Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. I really love my country! I'm from Rio Grande do Sul and was born in Porto Alegre. I really enjoy it when our culture is appreciated. Thanks! And I hope you had fun here.

Very cool video, the state of Porto Alegre and southern Brazil received a lot of German colonization where you are from, welcome ❤

thank you for being in here and to show such beautiful sides of my city. POA is incredible and I hope it become as safe as it used to be.

As a boy that born in Porto Alegre, I can say that I happy that someone from another country visited my born city. And a curious thing is that my KZfaq photo has been taken in a hospital there.

As a brazilian and a gaucha who has lived in Porto Alegre for a few years, thank you for the most beuatiful translation of the city name! Sometimes we forget the meaning of the words used to name something! "The port of joy"!

I wasn't born in Poa, but I've been living in a city around for 15 years and I definitely love Porto Alegre and I thank you for showing this incredible city to the World. Happy that you and your beautiful family enjoyed.

@Yale Wall, thank you for show our City to the world. Unfortunately few months after your visit here, we have a massive flood in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. So many areas stays under water nearly to one month, In Porto Alegre a great part of their streets, houses, buildings and commerse was severely hit by the flood. I hope we can see you here again. You got a new subscriber.

He got it right about Schneider. As a born and raised Gaucha myself, it can't be beaten.

É uma honra ver a minha cidade representada ao exterior. Sejam sempre bem vindos!

Woooow Loved! I live here! ❤️❤️❤️

Honestamente, você deveria visitar porto Alegre em Setembro. Em setembro tem a semana farroupilha, aí sim vc ia conhecer mais da cultura gaúcha, e comer o verdadeiro churrasco do sul. Não sei quem foi q fez seu roteiro de viagem, mas faltou conhecer muita coisa. O vídeo ficou bom.

It's so nice to watch an international channel showing our city! Brazil is a country with a lot of traditions, but we most see Rio being resumed as the Brazilian culture. Unfortunately, many places that appeared in the video were severely damaged by the april flood, and seeing it before the water's break is just a nostalgic feeling. Thanks for sharing the world a little bit of our hometown! And yes, gaúchos have the best churrasco in the entire world ❤

What an incredible video! I hope you enjoyed our capital of Rio Grande do Sul, maybe next time you can go to "Gramado" (it is without a doubt another wonderful city in Brazil) Greetings from Guaíba!

I'm so happy to know that you liked Porto Alegre, I live here and after the floods things are slowly recovering! You will always be welcome here, thank you for the visibility♥️

loved the video!!! but you really should have gone to the park on the weekend. On saturday, there is a great farmers market and on sundays, there is a fair full of beautiful art and amazing food for you to try🥰 Also, since it is very crowded on weekends, it is much safer. I am really glad you liked my hometown, hope you guys come visit again❤️

You should definetely come back during September the 20th's week. You'd be absolutely flaggerblasted on how much the city just transforms for the Farroupilha Week

Thank you for visiting Porto Alegre. I love my city and I'm glad you enjoyed being here. Mario Quintana was a famous poet who lived at the Magestic hotel. The barbecue here is really better. Check back often

I`m glad that you could enjoy our city after of the biggest flood in the history of Brazil. You`re welcome to comeback ;)

It's really cool to see people from different nationalities visiting and showing the beauty of Porto Alegre to the world. I live near this city and Porto Alegre (AKA Poa) is my favorite city in Brazil without a shadow of a doubt

I'm glad you liked Scheinder barbecue, it's one of the best of the region. There is Primavera barbecue that is like 5 miles from Scheinder, which is also great. You were just 10 minutes from my home 😄

Thanks for sharing our city. 💪👏🫶🧉😉

Thanks a lot for this video! Sometimes I fell like running out of my "Port of Joy" in this very sad moment after the floods. But you guys make me remember how nice and intersting Porto Alegre is. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Great video, thanks for showing our city. You are always welcome!

I’m very happy to see how the way they like our city because the people from other countries think Brazil is only Carnaval. We are much more than this. At next time, please, come to Gramado at state of Rio Grande Do Sul

Adorei ver a minha cidade por essa perspectiva 🎉

thank you for showing our beautiful city and culture to the world!

I'm not from POA, but i live close and have been a couple times, all of them for cultural reasons since nearby cities don't get many concerts or museums at all. I can't believe you didn't visit Museu da PUC, it's a technology and science museum filled with interactive spaces made by the university, i've been 2/3 times with my school when younger and I wanna come back so bad! Glad you had fun!

i'm from the Quiero Café hometown, and my german teacher's family owned the place before it was there

I'm from Porto Alegre, I'm very happy that a foreigner comes to visit Rio Grande do Sul, you're very welcome!😁

Thanks for showing our city! Schneider is certainly one of the best barbecues we have here. Just to let you know, eating pineapple after meat is a great way to help your body diggest the protein. 😉

I'm from Porto Alegre. It's so weird to see someone touristing in the place where you live, like, it's something so common for me you know, it's nothing special, it's something that I've gotten really used to, but when you see someone looking and admiring it and seeing it for it's qualities, it's really crazy

Wow such Nice vídeo. Porto Alegre is a great place to know, full of culture, nice history and delicious food. Valeu, gringo🙏

Obrigado por visitar minha cidade ☺️

Hey! I really enjoyed watching your video about Porto Alegre. You went to so many cool places and if you come back i would recommend some more such as: Praça da Encol: unlike Parque Farroupilha, Encol is a very safe place it does not have soo many things to do but many of the locals love to go there! Parque Moinhos de Vento: This is not as safe as Encol, but it's a pretty big park with some history behind it and it's pretty close to some awesome restaurants and bookstores (they are as expensive as they are awesome lol) and the buildings in the area are really pretty. Also, it is close to another park with loads of history its name is "Caixa da Água" (i know.) but belive me it is so incredibly beautiful. If you want to explore more of the cuisine here i would recommend going to Padre Chagas, it is a street full of restaurants and there are loads of different options. Those ideas are in a part of the city that fortunatly was not so affected by the floodings. It saddens me to watch your video and be reminded of the good times everyone used to have in those places before it was flooded. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the city!

It's my home. Thank you. ❤

Fala meu amigo muito legal seu video sou de porto alegre e posso te dizer que gostei bastante da visão que tiveram da cidade , quanto ao parque farroupilha realmente em dias de semana não é la tao seguro nem tão frequantado mas no final de semana lota e tem varias feirinhas legais o bom é ir no sabado ou domingo ! valeu muito bom o video e até mais !!!!

Parque Farroupilha AKA Redenção is actually one of my favorite places here in Porto Alegre, but as others have already mentioned, you must visit it during weekends and on a sunny day. It's when the park's full of life and there are some really nice shops selling handicrafts. Come back soon. =)

Porto Alegre is the best city in the world, thank you for your visit

A lot of talented craft went into making this video! Great job!

A propaganda impulsionada pegou forte em Porto Alegre. Esse canal brotou na minha tela.

Porto is sooo beautyyy

Glad you enjoyed your stay!! It was really cool to see your perspective on our city. Come back whenever 🤗

Im from Porto Alegre and im very happy to watch this, i hope next time you go to Farroupilhas' Park (parque da redenção) you'll could try my brigadeiros on Fernandes Vieira Street on Taxi rank

Never seen any video of here in porto alegre, well now i found one

Tinha que ter ido em uma churrascaria roots, tipo a Giovanaz ou Santana kkkk

Thanks for sharing a litle some of the best in Brazil. I live in Porto Alegre and I know whole place so your video gives me a mental refreshment, showing how incredible our hometown is. Brasil has one of the best place to live in the world, our people are amazing, our food is incredible, our climate is amazing (exclude this recent thinks that happened). If one day we also have the best politicians, no one grab us. 😅 Thanks for your job.
