  • Voltage varies by city (127 V or 220 V) — check before plugging in; sockets are Type N.
  • Street crime is common in big cities: use app taxis, don't display phones on the street, and avoid beaches and favelas at night.

돈

거의 모든 곳에서 카드 결제. 카드는 거의 어디서나 사용 가능.

결제 네트워크: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners

Apple Pay — 사용 가능 · Google Pay — 사용 가능

환전하기 좋은 곳

  • Bank ATMs (Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Banco24Horas) — choose BRL
  • Licensed casas de câmbio in city centres/malls for USD/EUR cash

환전을 피할 곳

  • Airport exchange booths
  • Hotel exchange
  • Dynamic currency conversion

ATM: Foreign cards work at Banco24Horas and major bank ATMs; expect a per-withdrawal fee plus your bank's. Night-time (approx. 22:00–06:00) withdrawal limits are very low for security — use ATMs inside malls in daytime.

팁: Restaurants add a 10% service charge (serviço) — check the bill; no extra tip needed. Round up taxis; tip hotel porters a few reais.

  • Contactless and Pix (local instant payments) are everywhere; tourists generally pay by card.
  • Russian Mir cards don't work.
