Soak up Sao Paulo
Bring your appetite and your glad rags to Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, where the cuisine is tasty and the people gleaming. So gleaming, in fact, that you won’t even notice that Sao Paulo lacks Rio’s organic lustre, and will instead get swept up by this dauntingly comprehensive bustle of entertainment. ... Read more »
Museums are world-class in this cultural capital, from the Museum of Art to the Museum of the Portuguese Language. A million pizzas are eaten in Sao Paulo every day, and with places like Speranza it’s not hard to see why. Wander through Sampa for an equally sizeable taste of Sao Paulo life – the city has evolved into a heavily populated concrete monster since it was founded by Jesuits in 1554, but although the buildings are grey the people are exceptionally colourful.
SAO PAULO’S TOP 10
10. Parque do Carmo A massive city park. So massive it even has its own rainforest! |
5. Instituto Butantan Probably the only venom farm you’ll ever visit. A thousand snakes are milked for their poison then returned to simulated native habitats. |
9. Playcenter One of a number of amusement parks offering rides, food stalls and shows. |
4. Museo do Ipiranga Celebrating Brazil’s independence from Portugal, the Versailles-style gardens here can’t help but impress. |
8. Museo de Arte de Sao Paulo A fabulous collection of contemporary art, housed in an iconic piece of modern architecture. |
3. Theatro Municipal Ostentatious flourishes from virtually every architectural era are represented on the façade, while inside it is all marbled resplendence. |
7. Edificio Copan This massive residential skyscraper has become a symbol of the city. |
2. Jardim Zoologico Brazil’s largest zoo is home to 900 species, from the caged to the free ranging. |
6. Ibirapuera Park Another huge park, this one is filled with lakes, sports courts and even the Biennial Art building and a Japanese pavilion. |
1. Banespa Tower The observation deck on the 34th floor has fantastic views of the city, but requires a passport for entry. |
SAO PAULO EVENTS

Enjoy the smooth grooves at Sao Paulo Jockey Club in October for the Natura Nos Festival,which hosts Brazilian musos and some international acts.
The Sao Paulo International Film Festival in Octoberoffers the very best of the Brazilian film industry, and even shows a few films you won’t need a phrase book to understand.
Big-name bands hit the open-air stages at Sao Paulo Play Centre for Planeta Terra Festival in November.
WHEN TO GO
- Summer can be very humid, and although it’s the rainy season it still brings more crowds and higher prices.
- Everything’s cheaper from June to September. It’s colder than summer, but temperatures rarely drop below 11ºC (52ºF).
- Spring (March to May) is a great time to visit,when the city is warm and dry.
GETTING AROUND
- Transport in Sao Paulo can be hellish. Roads are ridiculously congested, so renting a car is not the best option.
- It’s best to stay below ground, and the subway system makes getting around the city very easy, clean, safe and efficient.
- Buses are reliable, but can be uncomfortably crowded at peak hour.
