This three-day itinerary is designed to give you a taste for the city's rich history, impressive architecture, diverse cuisine, and lively nightlife. Be ready for a sensory overload as we tour São Paulo's iconic attractions.
Day 1 - Exploring the Heart of São Paulo
Start your Brazilian adventure at Avenida Paulista, the city's bustling financial hub. Its tall skyscrapers, historic landmarks, and world-class museums set the perfect introduction to São Paulo's energetic vibe. Visit the MASP (Museu de Arte de São Paulo), boasting an impressive collection of Western art. In the evening, experience the city's gastronomy at a local churrascaria (barbecue place), for some mouth-watering Picanha, a must-try Brazilian steak.
Day 2 - A Day of Culture and Night of Samba
Day two takes us to the historic district of Liberdade. Known as São Paulo's Japan Town, we'll explore its wealth of Japanese shops, sushi restaurants, and cultural representations. Next, we head over to the city's famous Parque Ibirapuera, often compared to New York's Central Park. Spend your afternoon here, enjoying the variety of activities on offer. Then, brace yourself for a night of pulsating rhythms and dancing feet in the traditional samba clubs of Vila Madalena, which truly comes alive after dark.
Day 3 - Design, Shopping, and Beach Breeze
Our final day pivots around design and beach vibes. Start with a visit to Oscar Freire Street, the city's most luxurious shopping street, popular for its upscale retailers and chic café culture. In the afternoon, we'll take a short drive to the coastal town of Santos. Enjoy the sea breeze, visit the coffee museums at the Old Port, and relax on the beach, reflecting on your São Paulo adventure. Yesterday we danced to the samba, and today we listen to the waves - such is the allure of São Paulo!
