Cities that offer their dwellers a Six weeks paid holiday!

The workplace is the toughest environment for many but in some countries, these workplaces provide certain added incentives to mellow down its harsh effects. In abroad there are many nations with extended working hours, so much so that their workplace become quite a nuisance for the private life of the workers. In some places, working hours more than 12 hours and in some 8 hours is the maximum time limit. However, apart from the tough working hours, these countries allow the workers to have annual holidays so that they could at least relax for a particular time and to not let the work take the best of them. The annual paid leave range from 10 days to 30 days a year. After working tireless hours and dedication, 10 days do not seem quite enough, but in cities where the employees are provided with more than 30 paid leaves they can manage to make plans for the vacation alone or with their families and friends. In this way, they can rejuvenate their energies and explore new horizons to divert their attention from their tiring routines and start afresh whenever they get back behind their desk.

Because those who are running their private businesses or the higher cadres of the private offices (like the managers and the executives), cannot afford to take this much free time due to their work pressure. The Brazilians are quite enthusiastic people so whenever they get some time off they love to pursue some travelling endeavours. Those who can afford long trips mostly head over to American metropolitans like New York or Miami but those who cannot afford to go far love to visit the beaches within Sao Paulo and in Rio or the neighboring farmhouses where they can relax and have some time out with their families.you can also buy flights to Brazil to enjoy the New Year celebration or get hold of a cheap holiday package in February to experience the famous Rio Carnival.
