Things to Do in Sao Paulo

São Paulo’s colonial past is well covered, but it does show through in this interesting square. Find your bearings using the giant floor compass, and then take in the Neo-Gothic Catedral Metropolitana.

Find this well-equipped museum on the city’s most famous street – the Avenida Paulista. Interesting temporary exhibitions revolve next to a permanent collection that includes works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet, Renoir and Dali.

The Parque do Ibirapuera is São Paulo’s foremost green space. It offers a large Sports Center, a contemporary art museum, a planetarium, bike circuits, walking circuits, and much, much more. Ideal for letting a chilled hour or two turn into a chilled day…

The Mercado Central is famous for two reasons; its building and its food. The market is housed in a massive Neo-Gothic hall with impressive stained-glass windows. The food is just as phenomenal – a wide array of fresh produce that can be purchased cheaply and enjoyed on the spot!

Its time to get your legs moving to the rhythm of samba! Three steps in every (musical) bar, three drinks in every (public) bar, and you’ll be a samba sensation in no time.
