Nova Venécia, Brazil

Living in this small Brazilian town is a far cry from the bright lights of Rio. With a population of just 47,624, Nova Venécia is a sleepy municipality in the state of Espírito Santo, sitting at a modest 65 meters above sea level. The city was founded in 1888 by Italian immigrants from the Veneto region, and the bureaucratic legacy of that colonial history remains a persistent headache.

While the town has produced a few notable footballers, including Richarlison who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, there's little else to draw newcomers beyond the quiet rural charms. Unless you're seeking a tranquil escape from the stresses of modern life, Nova Venécia is unlikely to be the Brazilian destination for you.
