If you’re looking for gorgeous beaches, wonderful people, and mouth-watering food, then Sao Paulo is the city for you. Located along the south-east coast of Brazil, Sao Paulo is a colorful city bustling with life, history, and culture. Join one of the Free Tours in Sao Paulo and get to the heart of this vibrant city with a reliable local guide. There are a variety of Free Walking Tours in Sao Paulo covering different areas throughout the metropolis. These tours are a great way for you to quickly learn about the city, its culture, and its history. Join one and see as many sights as you can in just a few hours. Highly recommended are the Sao Paulo City Tour, where you’ll discover how the city was founded; and the Free Tour of Vila Madalena where you’ll come across stunning street art and some of the best restaurants and bars Sao Paulo has to offer.

Take a Sao Paulo Free Walking Tour and come face to face with a stunning array of architecture, from neoclassical and colonial gems to the modernist masterpieces that Brazil is famous for. Among the buildings not to be missed are the Municipal Theater, Farol Santander, Sao Bento Monastery, and the Martinelli Building. For modernist architecture, head to the Museum of Art and Centro Cultural, as well as one of the most emblematic buildings in Sao Paulo, Copan Building, one of Oscar Niemeyer’s modernist triumphs that you can find in the city. Another sight to be relished is the Metropolitan Cathedral. This superstructure houses stain-glass windows, marble, Italian artefacts, and even the tombs of bishops and archbishops. On a tour of Vila Madalena, you will encounter and learn about everyday life in Sao Paulo, including a stroll down the infamous Batman Alley, where you will find a staggering collection of vibrant graffiti.

Sao Paulo has a wealth of delicious food, but it is the humble sandwich that rules in this city. Pay a visit to the Municipal Market and try the belly busting ‘mortadella’ sandwich or the ever-busy Estadao Diner for a mouth-watering ‘pernil’ sandwich. These are not for vegetarians sadly but there are veggie options available in the city. After a hefty meal a trip to Ibirapuera Park should be in order. The park features an extensive green area in the middle of the city, much like Central Park in New York. The park was opened in celebration of Sao Paulo’s 400th anniversary in 1954.  Within the borders of the park, you will find the Museum of Modern Art and the Afro Brazilian Museum, both designed by Brazil’s most famous modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer. For a laid-break break from this huge city head to the Feira da Liberdade for a lovely morning perusing handicrafts.
