In the first of wall, you have to take care. You should know, that Sao Paulo is on the second pleace of the violence in the world. In Sao Paulo , there is a plenty of absolutly great pleaces, but if I can offer some special to you, it would be a big park almost in the centr of Sao Paulo.It ´s name is Ibira Puera. From this pleace you can see all the dominantas of this huge city.
I have been there to visit some concert of clasic music.
Please don´t forget to visit, a Avenida Paulista... it ´s main street in Sao Paulo, and it´s very simillar to
New York´s streets. I´m missing the people of Brasil. My friends. I have been there for one year, and I found there my new familly. The other thing is the 'night life' . There are a lot of pleaces, where you can have a really good fun. And ofcourse if you don´t like the 'night life' you can go to the beache, to Guaruja which is very near from Sao Paulo....
PETAR
by janaina
It's a great experience but you have to plan the trip very carefully,be informed about the local rules,if you never visited the place before,look for visitation details with some experienced guy before set off.
This is how the vilage outside looks like..
How to use the buses
by Jasoninlondon
Sao Paulo buses are very useful for getting around. When you get on you can ask the driver if the bus goes to or past the place you are interested in.
You do not pay the driver. One third down the inside of the bus a person sits collecting the money for the fare. It is a fixed fair regardless of how far you are going. Once you have paid you pass through the small turnstyle and take a seat.
If you are nervous about where to get off ask the ticket person to tell you. They are normally very good and will tell you when you are at the stop you need.
GOOD MORNING SAO PAULO
by RafaelTheSecond about BELLA PAULISTA
Bakeries in Brazil are very common..and just like Portugal, the owners are portuguese. But bakeries in Sao paulo can be very charming! They have a large selection of food and many brazilian delites.
When I go to São paulo and one of my last visits, Marcone and his mother were with me.
Paulistas are demianding people so this bakery, that we call PADARIA are one of the best in Avenida Paulista Area! BELLA PAULISTA offers a delicious breakfast..some of the hotels in the area has great prices and fantastic locations, but they do not offer breaakfast. And I strongly recommend you to visit this PADARIA!!! It is simly fantastic!!!
Mercado Municipal - Central market
by Lady_Disdain
Fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, nuts, spices, oil and wine - there's a bit of everything to do with food in the Central Market. From gourmet cooks to housewives, all sorts of people visit the market to shop and chat.
Walk aroud the different sectors and enjoy the sights!
Apart from all the food and ingredients, both local and imported, the building itself is beautiful and has wonderful stained glass windows portraing the different origins of food products and how the were obtained (in a highly idealized fashion!) in the early XX century.
After looking around, head to the loft area to have a nice cold beer and snacks made from the products sold below.
