Navigating a Brazilian city means knowing the names for places around town and how to describe where they are. In this deck, you will learn essential vocabulary for streets, everyday services, and public buildings, along with how to ask where they are located.

To talk about streets and squares in Brazilian Portuguese, use 'a rua' for street, 'a avenida' for avenue, and 'a praça' for public square. Notice that all three are feminine nouns.

For larger areas of a city, 'o bairro' is the neighbourhood or district, and 'o centro' means the city centre or downtown. When talking about where streets cross, 'a esquina' is the street corner, and a city block is 'o quarteirão'.
