Sao Luis
The city of São Luís was recently declared Brazilian Capital of Culture for 2009 by the International Bureau of Capitals of Culture (IBOCC). It was selected by a jury composed of representatives from the Brazilian Culture and Tourism Ministries, from previous cultural capitals and from the bureau itself.
São Luís is among the select list of places in Brazil to have been declared a World Heritage Site. It was awarded this title in 1997 thanks to the excellently preserved European architecture in its historic centre. As well as its architecture, the traditional culture expressed in the Bumba-Meu-Boi festival and in the dance and music of the Tambor-de-Crioula make the city a unique destination..
