Porto Alegre is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul — Brazil's southernmost state — and one of Brazil's wealthiest cities, home to approximately 1.5 million city residents and 4.3 million in the metro area. It shares Brasília Time (BRT, UTC-3). Porto Alegre has a distinctly European character shaped by massive German and Italian immigration in the 19th century — the state hosts the largest German-descended community outside Germany, and the city's culture, architecture, and cuisine reflect this heritage. In April–May 2024, Porto Alegre suffered the worst flooding disaster in Rio Grande do Sul's history — catastrophic rains inundated over 90% of the state's municipalities, killing over 150 people and displacing 600,000. The disaster was widely attributed to climate change's intensifying rainfall patterns. The city is home to Grêmio and Internacional — two of Brazil's most passionate football clubs whose rivalry (Gre-Nal) is one of South America's fiercest derbies.
