São Paulo, Capital of the State of São Paulo, is a highly sought after city, more than 15 million tourists/year, especially for business tourism, but that doesn't mean that visitors can't spend some time really walking around. The capital of São Paulo offers extremely diversified attractions, many unknown even by the inhabitants themselves. Surprise with an excellent local tourist route.
To begin with, there is nothing like seeing the grandeur of San Pablo from above. The world of buildings that surround the region gives an idea of the immensity of the city. Viewpoints on top of skyscrapers offer unusual angles to those just walking along the sidewalks. Located on the banks of the Ibirapuera, it gives a more colorful view of the city. The same goes for the terrace of the Hotel Unique, where a bar offers good drinks washed down with the beautiful view of the park. And if you have time to spare, be sure to see the surprising landscape at the top of the Cantareira Núcleo Pedra Grande Park next to the Forest Garden, where nature takes over the scene and São Paulo seems small in front of so much green.
When you put your feet on the ground, begin your visit to São Paulo, with its 12 million inhabitants, through the historic center. The entire itinerary can be covered on foot and you will have the opportunity to see where the largest city in Brazil was born. To get to know the cradle of the capital of São Paulo, there is nothing like starting the tour at the Pateo del Collegio, where the city was founded. From there, it is possible to visit the City Museum (where house number 1, the Solar de la Marquesa de Santos, the Callejón del Pinto and the House of the Image are located), the Cathedral of the Cathedral, the Monastery of San Benito, the Theater The Martinelli building, the Copan, the Municipal Market, the CCBB, the Bovespa, the Viaducto del Té and several other buildings that stand out for their historical and architectural importance
A little outside the center, but no less important, the Light Station is also a mandatory stop. Be sure to tour the neighborhood and visit the Museum of Sacred Art, the Pinacoteca and the Sala São Paulo, as well as the beautiful Libertad neighborhood, where São Paulo finds oriental culture.
By itself, Avenida Paulista is already a great tourist spot and you can spend several days there without repeating the program. In the almost 3 km of the Avenue, it is possible to see many museums - among them, the São Paulo Art Museum (MASP), the Fiesp – Ruth Cardoso Cultural Center, the Itaú Cultural and the Casa das Rosas. Enjoy walking leisurely and enjoying the local cafes, restaurants and bars. Nearby, it is still possible to visit the popular Rua Augusta, the elegant Oscar Freire and the Football Museum.
Just like Paulista Avenue, Ibirapuera Park encompasses several cultural attractions. The main ones are: Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM-SP), Afro Brazil Museum, Bienal Foundation; Ibirapuera Auditorium and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC-USP). Outside the park, right at the entrance, the grandiose Monument to the Flags is also a constant stopping point for tourists. When visiting SP, be sure to check the local agenda to see what activities are planned for the park. He always has a good surprise in store.
