Yes, there are many differences. The wikipedia website is more precise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_Portuguese): [...] The differences between European Portuguese and standard Brazilian Portuguese are comparable to those one might find when comparing British and American English. The Brazilian formal written standard, which is defined by law and international agreements with other Portuguese-speaking countries, is actually very similar to the European one; but there are nevertheless many differences in spelling, lexicon, and grammar. European and Brazilian writers also have markedly different preferences when choosing between supposedly equivalent words or constructs. [...] The lexicon section also shows some differences examples.
