Random city generator Random city in Brazil
3,033 places in 26 states and the Federal District
Brazil gives the longest country list on the site: 3,033 places with 10,000 inhabitants or more, as recorded by GeoNames. 15 are above a million, led by São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and 333 reach 100,000. The other 2,700 are smaller towns, 1,305 of them under 20,000, from Iretama in Paraná to Dores de Campos in Minas Gerais.
The state of São Paulo has 374 places, Minas Gerais 370 and Bahia 332, so together they make up more than a third of all draws. São Paulo state also holds 83 of the big cities. In the north the numbers drop: Roraima has 13 places and Amapá 10. Brasília is the only entry for the Federal District. Set Region to the state you care about to keep the pick there.
Names keep their Portuguese spelling, with accents and tildes, as in São Luís, Maceió or Florianópolis.

Questions about random cities in Brazil
Are the municipalities or the city centres counted?
GeoNames records the town itself, usually the seat of a municipality. Its population can therefore be lower than the municipal figure you see on IBGE pages.
Why so many towns in the southeast?
That is where most Brazilians live. Every place has the same chance, so states with more towns appear more often. Pick a northern state under Region to see Amazonas or Tocantins.
Can I get just the state capitals?
There is no capital filter. With big cities on you keep 333 places, which includes every state capital, though plenty of other large cities too.
Is there a Portuguese version?
Yes, the Brazilian edition of the site has its own page for random Brazilian cities, with the same list and texts in Portuguese. Switch in the language menu.
