São Paulo

Cultural Capital

3-5 nights recommendedApril to November (dry season, cooler temperatures)Plan this chapter →

The largest city in the Southern Hemisphere: a sprawling, chaotic, magnificent metropolis whose restaurant scene rivals Tokyo and New York. São Paulo rewards those who dig past the surface: world-class art museums, a Japanese quarter larger than any outside Japan, a cocktail culture that rivals London, and neighbourhoods that reinvent themselves weekly.

We also arrange MASP on Avenida Paulista, tables at D.O.M., and the murals of Beco do Batman, arriving via Guarulhos (GRU).
