What you’ll do

Get acquainted with the rhythm of larger-than-life São Paulo on a half-day adventure along its buzzing streets, like its social center Paulista Avenue, adorned with landmarks and skyscrapers. Framed by palm trees and flanked by gothic towers awaits the Catedral de Sé, perched on a hive of local activity, near neoclassical Palácio da Justiça and a postcard-pretty law school. See where a city park sometimes turns into a stage for protests in the fountain-filled Vale do Anhangabaú, before heading downtown to see the largest building in the city, and to take note of a fried coxinha hotspot to try later. End the day soaking up the quirky street art of hip neighborhood Vila Madalena or discover a little corner of Japan along the lantern-hung streets of São Paulo
