I've heard the same about Nordic countries, and to be perfectly honest, it would be similar in many North American cities as well.

As a Brazilian living in a Nordic country and working in a different Nordic country, I can corroborate that the expectation from the locals here is that everything in planned in advance (with plenty of notice: 1 week or more); I can also corroborate that Brazilians in general do things spontaneously.
