Why we made this

Everyone tells women what to be afraid of. Almost nobody tells them what to actually do.

Search "is Brazil safe" and you get either breathless horror stories or brochure copy that pretends nothing ever happens. Neither helps you decide which neighbourhood to book, whether you need a visa, or what number to call at 2am.

These guides take the boring middle path: real risks, named honestly, paired with the specific habits that reduce them — so you can stop worrying and start planning the trip.

Specific

Streets, not vibes

"Stay in Ipanema, Copacabana or Botafogo. Don't base yourself in Lapa." Named neighbourhoods in every host city, with the reasoning.

Current

Written for 2027

Brazil's visa rules changed in 2025 and again in 2026. Advice written before that is actively wrong — and could get you denied boarding.

Practical

Do this, then this

Countdown timelines, packing lists, phrase tables and a match-day plan. Things you can act on today, not vague reassurance.

What you get

Five guides. Everything from the visa form to the walk home.

Delivered as printable PDFs so they work offline, on a plane, and when your phone has no signal.

The approach

Four pillars, taught the same way in every guide

Most crime affecting visitors is opportunistic. It responds extremely well to boring, repeatable habits — not to fear.

📍

Choose the right ground

Where you sleep, eat and walk matters more than anything else. Busy and lit beats beautiful and quiet.

📱

Be a hard target

No visible jewellery, phone out of sight, bag in front, decoy wallet, passport in the safe. Small habits, large effect.

🚗

Move deliberately

Ride after dark. Check the plate. Share your trip. Wait inside until the car arrives.

Know your outs

190 police. 192 ambulance. 180 women's helpline. Your consulate, your insurer, and a friend who knows your plan.

Where the football is

Eight host cities, four very different Brazils

The tournament runs from 24 June to 25 July 2027 — the first Women's World Cup ever held in South America. Every guide covers all eight.

Rio de Janeiro

Estádio do Maracanã

Beaches, the most visitor infrastructure, and a metro station at the stadium door.

São Paulo

Arena Itaquera

Brazil's biggest city and best food scene. Base near Avenida Paulista.

Salvador

Arena Fonte Nova

The Afro-Brazilian heart of the country. Stay in Barra or Rio Vermelho.

Brasília

Estádio Nacional

The modernist capital. Built for cars — budget for ride-hailing.

Belo Horizonte

Estádio Mineirão

Brazil's best bar culture and the comfort food of Minas Gerais.

Recife

Arena de Pernambuco

Coastal, musical, paired with historic Olinda. Mind the beach warnings.

Fortaleza

Arena Castelão

Long urban beaches and warm weather even in the Brazilian winter.

Porto Alegre

Estádio Beira-Rio

The coldest of the eight in June and July. Pack a proper coat.

Questions

Before you ask

Is it really free?

Yes. All five guides, no payment, no card details, no trial that converts. We ask for an email so we can send you the files and tell you if something important changes before you travel.

Is Brazil safe for women travelling alone?

Millions of women visit Brazil every year without incident, and it is one of the most welcoming countries in the world. It also has real, documented crime — mostly opportunistic theft, concentrated in specific places at specific times. It is not a destination for a first-ever solo trip, but it is very manageable with preparation. The guides tell you exactly what that preparation looks like rather than telling you to be careful and leaving it there.

Do I need a visa?

It depends on your passport. US, Canadian and Australian citizens have needed an e-Visa since April 2025, and that requirement is still in force — airlines won't board you without one. UK and EU passport holders are visa-exempt for stays up to 90 days. Guide 01 covers the full picture, the application steps and when to apply. Always confirm with your nearest Brazilian consulate before booking.

When exactly is the tournament?

24 June to 25 July 2027, across eight host cities: Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Recife, Fortaleza and Porto Alegre. It's the tenth edition of the Women's World Cup and the first ever held in South America.

Do I need to speak Portuguese?

No, but thirty words will change your trip. English is limited outside hotels and tourist areas, and Brazil speaks Portuguese, not Spanish. Guide 04 includes a phrase table built around real situations — ordering, directions, prices, and firmly ending an unwanted conversation.

What will you do with my email?

Send you the guides, and email you occasionally about travelling safely to Brazil 2027. We do not sell, rent or share your address. Unsubscribe with one click and we delete you from the list.

Are you affiliated with FIFA?

No. Safe Passage Brasil 2027 is an independent travel resource with no affiliation to FIFA, the CBF, or any government body. For tickets and official tournament information, go to FIFA directly.

One email. Five guides. Zero cost.

The best trips are the ones you planned properly.

Get everything you need to arrive in Brazil confident, legal and prepared — and to spend the month watching football instead of worrying.
