Visiting
Sao Paolo was a bit intimidating. We weren't really sure what to expect prior to visiting
South America's largest city, however, we found that in that midst of the crowds and chaos there were cool pockets filled with parks, street art, and an abundance of restaurants. For this video, we also had two of our Brazilian friends join us and they were able to provide a unique window into the city. This travel guide will showcase 20 things to do in
Sao Paulo, Brazil:

20
Things to do in
São Paulo, Brazil Travel Guide and Top Attractions Video
Transcript:
Within the park grounds you’ll find the Afro-Brasil Museum, which is a contemporary museum that looks at
African culture and influence in
Brazilian society. And not too far from there, you’ll come across the Museum of Modern Art.
Batman Alley is located in
Vila Madalena and it has become a popular tourist and Instagram spot.
Apparently the place gets its name because the first piece of graffiti to go up was one of Batman back in the
1980s.
If you’re a football lover, this is a place you won’t want to miss.
Being the foodies that we are, we couldn’t skip the Municipal
Market. Here you can find exotic fruits, fresh vegetables, meats, spices and even restaurants. We went there right around the lunch hour to try the famed mortadella sandwich.
From there, we visited
Sao Paulo Cathedral. We only learned this after our visit, but there’s a crypt you can visit.
Next up we headed to the neighbourhood of Liberdade, which has the largest
Japanese community in the world outside of
Japan. We decided to hit up a sushi buffet for some food!
That evening we met up with our Brazilian friends, who took us out for a night on the town.
That morning we visited Pinacoteca do Estado, which is a cool art museum that focuses on works by Brazilian artist or works with Brazilian subject matter.
After that we headed over to Parque da Luz. This park is right next to the museum and it has a lot of interesting sculptures scattered about.
Sao Paulo’s
Teatro Municipal first opened in
1911. The
Martinelli building is 30 stories high and it was the first skyscraper in South America.
And that’s a quick look at how we spent 2 days in Sao Paulo. We hope you enjoyed this guide and that it gave you some ideas on how to tackle South America’s largest city. As always, if you have any other suggestions of fun things to do in Sao Paulo, feel free to share those with us in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in
Brazil video series showcasing
