Is the word lindo the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

No.

While the dictionary definition, spelling, and grammar of the word are identical in both variants, there is a difference in typical usage and pronunciation.

In Brazil, "lindo" is frequently used as a generic, high-frequency intensifier to describe anything pleasant, such as good news, a kind gesture, or a nice situation (e.g., "How lovely/nice!"). In Portugal, while "lindo" is used for physical beauty, the word "giro" is much more common to express that same sense of "nice," "cute," or "pleasant" regarding objects or situations. Additionally, the pronunciation differs significantly: in many Brazilian dialects, the "d" is palatalized (sounding like the "j" in "jeep"), and the vowels are more open; in Portugal, the "d" remains dental, and the vowels are much more closed and reduced.
