Wow!  Nice stuff!  I have always wanted to visit Rio de Janerio and Sao Paulo in one trip sometime! However, I have yet to visit the South America yet.  Rio does look like a nice tourist spot, I have heard and now seen a lot of it.  The tropical  weather there is almost the opposite as here in snowy Canada... I may have to take a winter getaway and travel there sometime.  Thanks for sharing!

Holy crap! Never knew Rio was so cosmopolitan. It's located in such a scenic background. This is a view of Rio I have never seen before, as the public is usually just shown images of Rio from Copacabana beach, Sugarloaf, and the favelas.

Ahh Rio is Rio, what a delicious city for resting, for walking on the beach and having a good time.

If is there an Ipanema Beach pictures over there,  please take a look at the girls wlaking there.

I love Rio, I wish I could visit it. Maybe someday.

[Camaron 1]

Thank you for the info & pictures ilikehotdogsalot, I never knew Rio de Janeiro meant "January River". I have never been to Brazil before, but I hope to visit one day.

[sc4portugal 10]

Very nice I also always wanted to visit Rio d' Janeiro and São Paulo

In Portugese:Muito bonito, eu também sempre quis visitar o Rio de Janeiro e o São Paulo

Edit: 70 no centro! (70 in the centre!)

Hey guys, I know this started off as just Rio de Janeiro, but Gutoo has taken some amazing pictures of Lisbon, Portugal that I really wanted to show you guys. Portugal ruled Brazil until 1808 so I thought it was important to show you the European Nation's capital.

[RushHourFreak 1]

Thanks for sharing those awesome Lisbon photos. Very pretty. I have to go there

A very interesting thread, since is not a "vs" one, it compares the two great Portuguese-language cities. And I think each one has its own magic spell.

Well, I know Rio de Janeiro a bit and it really deserves to be named *a cidade maravilhosa*... at least in beauty it beets S

[Mike the Mayor 51]

I've been to Rio de Janeiro many times and down to the town of Angra dos Reis and Bracui. I haven't, however, been to Lisbon. Lisbon is beautiful. I must go some time.

*It's on the Moon.....* Great pics of Rio and Lisbon,congrats

[Camaron 1]

Lisbon is one European city I have failed to visit, though like Rio de Janeiro I hope to go one day. Thank you for posting more images ilikehotdogsalot, I never knew Lisbon had a suspension bridge in its bay.

[Wolf_pt 7]

It's not a bay, it's a Estuary =) if you whant to see more Lisbon pics: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=323

[ExiL3 10]

Even though Rio is a beautiful City, I am MUCH more interested in the much bigger city Sao Paulo! It is what, the third biggest city or so in the world (by metro pop.) but there isn't much info about it. If you have any cool pictures of Sao Paulo, that would be cool!

take care,

[Rocco Litencourt 7]

eu moro no rio XD o/

Mas não moro nessa parte =/

muitos turistas não sabem da outra parte do rio: o subúrbio

a violência é mais controlada na "Zona Sul", a região que mais tem $$ e $$$ famílias =/

mas sério, vocês não sabiam que Rio de Janeiro significava Rio de Janeiro? XDD

--------------

je habite dans le rio xD o/

mais je n'habite pas dans cette arrondissement =/

plus turistes ne sais de l'outre région de le rio: le banlieue

le violence est plus controle dans "Zona Sul", le région que plus a $$ et $$$ familles, et en le rest de le Rio non...  =/

PS.: Zona Sul est une arrondissement

PPS.:Vous ne sais que Rio de Janeiro means January River? XDDD

All of the Latin America cities you posted almost completely differ from Mexico, because I was in Mexico about a week ago. The wealth overall seems to be much better in Rio de Janeiro than in Mexico according to the buildings.
