Recife is a very large city and it also has a lot of old monuments to be visitied, but even better is the close Olinda. There are nice beaches in town in Recife and it can be very hot since it is in the North-East of Brazil. A nice place to stay, not too expensive, around $30 for a double, is the Hotel Central in Rua Manuel Borba 209. This is a colonial building. There are a lot of local bands of music in Recife, and some of them became famous in all Brazil, for example Nacao Zumbi, where Chico Science used to play before dying in a car accident. You should go to the Gracas district for some good nightlife, good music and cheap bars.
