With a population of 436,155, Niterói is hardly a sleepy suburb. This once-capital city now plays second fiddle to its brasher neighbor Rio de Janeiro, but don't let that fool you - the bureaucracy here is a persistent headache. Still, the tropical climate and stunning beaches offer a refuge from the chaos, and the city boasts the highest Human Development Index in the state. Whether Niterói is the right fit depends on your tolerance for red tape and your appreciation for seaside tranquility.
