The population density in Nilópolis is over 17,400 inhabitants per square kilometer, making it the most densely populated city in Brazil. With an area of just 19 square kilometers, this tiny municipality in Rio de Janeiro state is packed to the brim. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as the city is served by a mix of municipal and regional bus companies. However, Nilópolis is renowned for its Beija-Flor samba school, one of the most successful in the annual Carnival parade. For those who don't mind the crowds and red tape, Nilópolis could be an energetic, culturally vibrant place to call home.
