Sao Paulo Trips & Tours

A booming city with world-class culinary creations, striking architecture & a love for the finer things in life.
The most populous city in both Brazil and the entire Southern Hemisphere, São Paulo is a mighty metropolis with plenty going on – and that’s putting it mildly. For one thing, in the last few decades it has emerged as one of the world’s great foodie cities, boasting multiple Michelin-starred restaurants and culinary wizardry. The city is also bursting with stupendous art and architecture and a visit to the São Paulo Museum of Art show them colliding in spectacular fashion. Also worth a visit is the Sala São Paulo, a former railway station turned symphony hall – the acoustics are world class. This sophisticated corner of Brazil doesn’t fall short in the shopping department either and Rua Oscar Freire street is the place to go, even if it’s just to gawk at the designer items and live it up like the Paulistanos do.

What to do in Sao Paulo

A bustling metropolis that shines like a new penny, Sao Paulo brings an extra dollop of fine dining, art and luxury to any Brazil trip. Begin with a stroll along the highly cultured Paulista Avenue, where museums and galleries offer a window into Brazil’s art scene. The shopping is also fantastic, whether you head for the Municipal Market or Rua Oscar Freire street. And of course, there is the cuisine – and in this city, there’s no end to the delights there are to find including a few Michelin stars.
