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

Yes.

The word "paisagens" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation:

• Brazilian Portuguese: The vowels are generally more open, and unstressed vowels are pronounced more clearly. The "e" in paisagens is usually audible.
• Continental Portuguese: The vowels are more closed, and unstressed vowels are often reduced or nearly silent, resulting in a more "clipped" or consonant-heavy sound.
