Sunrise to sunset: the ultimate Sao Paulo experience

How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

A massive cosmopolitan melting pot of culture is your oyster, whether you want to feel Sampa's pulse along Paulista Avenue in the social heart of the city or stop and smell the orchids at a flower market off the tourist track, the day will revolve around you. You could marvel at the neo-Gothic masterpiece Catedral de Sé or see a statue honoring the bustling city's founders, cascading on a square drenched in centuries' history. After greeting little brother of the Empire State Building, break for a bite of a city-famous sandwich at buzzing market Mercadão, before seeing the Renaissance-styled Municipal Theatre. The Beco de Batman alley adorned with graffiti beckons next, then swing around to a fairy light-lit bistro in hip hood Vila Madalena for hip-twirling samba.
