    SP's largest city park. While it was not as expansive as Central Park in NYC or the English Garden in Munich, it is worth a visit as there are museums and sights throughout. The park is packed with runners in the morning, so it is a great option for you if you want to run. For the Christmas time, there is also a lit up Christmas tree that is accompanied by a water fountain show.

    The avenue is blocked on Sundays, but people are still free to stroll about. Along with a number of eateries and cafés. Some roofs are open late for beverages and delicious dinners. Need to leave. Treat wallets and ostentatious, showy cameras with caution.

    Lovely, well-kept workspace with lots of fascinating art.
    The kids would find the exhibit I visited to be quite engaging and sensory. Not to mention, the usual display is amazing.

    A very modern and clean stadium. I’m sure fans cheering in the stadium during a game would be electric. The bathrooms it seems are well managed also.

    This has a very authentic Japanese feel to an area other than Japan. There are plenty of great Japanese foods here as well as many other neat shops to check out.

    It is a must! If you are visiting Sao Paulo and you haven’t been to this museum yet, I believe you must visit it! It has visual arts for all tastes, any history period, and a lot of famous artists paintaings as well as more niche visual installations.

    I love visiting markets when traveling. This is definitely one of the best. The fruit selections are incredible. They are happy to give samples as well. We went upstairs and ate lunch, and it was one of the best meals we had in São Paulo. We were with a local, so I’m not sure how much English is spoken, but it’s really worth the visit.

    Amazing VIP package to come see Paul McCartney on tour. The Parque Mirante restaurant was great (despite the Vegan served food) it was delicious. Great view of the stage and sound check area. We were rained on during the sound check after the meal, but the show that night was amazing. At 81 years of age, Paul pulled off Helter Skelter, Live and Let Die, and many others for over 2 and half hours, switching between 4 stringed instruments and 2 pianos without taking a break, (and Biden can't even walk up stairs).

    Great museum, located inside the Estadio Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvahlo. Most of the museum includes text in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. The few items that aren’t translated into English I had no problem using google translate. There’s also an audio tour available. At the end of the museum are a bunch of interactive exhibits that the kids and adults will love. Some of the items inside include a history Pele’s career and several of his jersey’s. Lots of pictures of Marta Vieira da Silva too. I enjoyed the columns by years… showing significant events that occurred not just in soccer during each decade.

    I would definitely recommend this museum not just for the soccer but for Brazilian history too.
