Spin and land on a random city or town in Brazil. Pick a state, such as Bahia or Pará, or leave it to chance. Free, no sign-up.
Getting a random location in Brazil
The tool starts on In a country: Brazil. Each spin lands on a Brazilian city or town of 5,000 people or more, from a list of 4,315 across the 26 states and the Federal District.
To stay in one state, switch to In a state and pick it. Brazil stays picked.
Minas Gerais and São Paulo come up most
Every town has the same chance, so Minas Gerais (605 towns) and São Paulo (499) come up most, then Bahia (413). The big Amazon states have few towns for their size: Amazonas has 64, Roraima 15.
For an even spread, use In a state with Any state. Each spin picks one of the 27 first, then a town in it, so Acre comes up as often as São Paulo.
Random Brazilian towns in bulk
Set "How many places?" to any number up to 500. One spin lists Brazilian towns with their state and coordinates and pins each on the map.
Copy the list or download it as CSV, GeoJSON or plain text for a mapping project, a sample or test data.
Ideas for a random place in Brazil
Pick a coastal state, such as Ceará or Santa Catarina, and spin for a beach town to visit. Check it in Google Maps first.
In class, spin 5 towns and have students place each in its region: North, Northeast, Centre-West, Southeast or South.
For anywhere else on Earth, use the Random Location Generator.
Frequently asked questions
Does it include the Amazon?
Yes. Amazonas has 64 towns in the list and Pará 145. Many river villages have fewer than 5,000 people, so they are not in it.
Are accents kept in town names?
Yes. Names keep their Portuguese spelling, such as São Paulo, Maringá and Chuí.
Is Brasília included?
Yes, in the Federal District, which the list holds as its own state with 29 places.
Does it reach the ends of the country?
Yes. Chuí in Rio Grande do Sul is the most southern town in the list, and Uiramutã in Roraima the most northern.
Is a town the same as a municipality?
No. A town here is a place of 5,000 people or more. A large municipality can hold several towns in the list.
