There are dangers no matter where you are in the world. All you need is... common sense! If you look for trouble, you'll find it. If you are unfamiliar with a city, don't go wandering around alone. Find out which areas are potentially troublesome from people that have visited there or who live there. Just keep your wits about you and you'll be fine. Leave a Comment

I have lived here in São Paulo for 10 years, and never had any problems whatsoever. It is very easy to exagerate these things.
Having said that, the crime rate is high so it is better to remember you are not in Europe. Outside of busy areas, for sure do not go walking at night and do not display your expensive camera / watch / etc. when you are out and about. Leave a Comment

I was warned about wandering around the Centro where thieves abound, but nothing untowards happened to me. Maybe because I dressed down and tried to look like a local. The most common trick is the mustard-on-your clothes trick. An unsuspecting tourist gets distracted and the thieves run away with your belongings. Leave a Comment

There is 2 things you can do to avoid pickpocket in Sao Paulo. One is bring your bazooka with you and have yourself a self-defense trainning from SWAT or you can walk during daylight and dont go to the red light district or buy drugs on the nearest hippie.

In a big city like Sao Paulo it is easy to find some place to hide from the pouring rain,so not a warning really unless you dont like heawy downpours,an umbrella is not so good at stopping you getting wet so be warned..
But one of this days I will not hide and just get soaking wet,always wanted to do this. Leave a Comment
