One of the largest urban...
by Manoel_Dias
One of the largest urban centers in the world, São Paulo is Brazil’s major industrial center, but there are leisure attractions, too. The City Park and Zoo, the Ibirapuera Park and the Planetarium are worth visiting. Another must is the unique snake farm of Butantã institute. The local authorities draw up a calendar of interesting events throughout the year that are of specific interest. For gourmets, São Paulo’s superb cuisine is a revelation. Ethnic restaurants cater to the most demanding and discerning palates.
Sao Paulo Jardim Botanico
by bearworm
Spend the afternoon at the botanical garden. Nice plan layout with a wilderness area, so you can see what Sao Paulo would look like if it was not covered in concrete.
Take the Blue Line 1 subway to the end (Jabaquara), then jump in a cab. It's next to the zoo.
Bad public transport.
by Shibiru
It's a very big city and to get from one point to the other, you'll probably need some transport. Walking there isn't very nice, because of the big quantity of cars,buses and so...buses come and go...and u don't know exactly when. The public transport is mostly populated with the poorest people..or just those who don't have cars...so you also have to be careful...what to wear,what to take with u etc....the subway is very nice and modern, but it's small...and u can't get to all the places with it. You could rent a car, but you should know the streets and take much care...it's a caos...too many cars and also those motoboys that come from all sides and u can't always see them. Taxis are a good choice, because they aren't to expensive...but remember: don't get a car at 6o'clock in the morning and afternoon...'cause these are rush hours...oh...and at lunch time too.
Pitanga - in Vila Madalena
by kiwigal_1 about Pitanga
This place was such a cute little Brazilian local eatery that my Brazilian friends took me to. It is located inside a house which has been brightly painted inside and has lots of interesting photos, paintings and ceramics hanging on the walls and ferns and other plants hanging from the ceilings. The food was delicious and abundant The food is a buffet style with all sorts to choose from including the Brazilian Feijoada dish. There were salads, ***ake mushrooms, snow peas, bachalau (sp!), pernil, mignon and then for desert I ordered a hot brownie with chocolate fudge sauce and ice cream which was great! They serve non alcoholic drinks (usual fizzy drinks plus interesting natural fruit juices) and alcoholic drinks. My friend drank a capirinha with lunch :)
