The park also has 3 outstanding art museums MAC, MAM and Afro-Brazil Museum with their great art that played a big role in the deserved winning election of the park

Monument to the Bandeiras

Museum of Contemporary Art - MAC USP Ibirapuera

Don't miss out on an incredible 360º view covering a large part of the city of São Paulo from MAC, which faces Ibirapuera Park

Liberdade Street Market

The Liberdade neighbourhood is the Japanese area. It's where every weekend takes place the Art, Craft and Culture Fair. Neighbourhood lighting poles catch tourists’ attention and characterise the region for thier beautiful Japanese-style lamps

Catedral da Se de Sao Paulo

Visit the Sé Cathedral which was inspired by medieval European churches. The imposing construction marks the centre of São Paulo (the ground zero of the city is at Sé Square), a very busy area

Pateo do Collegio

Historic São Paulo founding site and museum of the city. With the intention to teach and catechise the natives, the Jesuits built the first school and began what 4 centuries later would become the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere

Mosteiro De Sao Bento

The San Benedictine Monastery is one of those sacred tips that also apply to people who are not religious. The building hosted Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to Brazil. Believers are attracted by the masses with Gregorian chants, and shop for bread, cakes, cookies and jams made by the monks themselves and whose recipes are secular

Matarazzo Building City Hall Of Sao Paulo

Inaugurated in 1939 to host one of the largest industrial conglomerates in Brazilian history, the Matarazzo Industries was designed by the favourite architect of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, the Italian Marcello Piacentini. Nowadays, this is the headquarters of the city administration

The Julio Prestes Cultural Center - Sala Sao Paulo

The Julio Prestes station is a historical building that is an actual train station. In addition, it's a concert house for the São Paulo Symphonic Orchestra

Estacao da Luz

Luz Station has played a big role in the history of Brazil. Over the past century, the station has become a gateway for millions of immigrants, from where they came by train after they arrived in Brazil at the port of Santos. The mass wave of immigrants upgraded the then-small town of São Paulo into an important metropolis in the 20th century

Municipal Market of São Paulo

One of the main attractions of the city and a mandatory stop for everyone visiting São Paulo. Do not miss out on the myriad of fruits, nuts, wines, cheeses, beers, food… A summary of Brasil can be found in it

Shopping 25 de Marco

With so much variety of products, it is possible to get lost on the famous 25 de Março St. It receives about 400 thousand people daily who go in search of the good prices of the 5,000 registered stores from tchotchkes and sewing supplies

Paulista Avenue

Walk through the fascinating Paulista Avenue. A place that is sure to impress you not only with its appearance, but also with its rich history that may seem common in the eyes of some, but in the company of an expert tour guide can be mind-blowing

Jardins District

Jardins neighbourhood is certainly one of the most elegant and significant neighbourhoods in the city of São Paulo. Many options for leisure, entertainment, culture, fancy shopping areas and boutiques, restaurants, hotel chains, etc.

Avenida Europa

Europa Ave. is a great place with dozens of imported car dealerships like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati & Bentley. It’s well worth the visit to it!

Paroquia Nossa Senhora do Brasil

Sistine Chapel-like church that has plenty of paintings on the ceiling, which is breathless. The church was inspired by Brazilian and Portuguese Baroque temples. The style is neo-colonial, very popular in São Paulo architecture from the 1920s and 1930s

Batman Alley

An area where virtually no surface is left untouched. This lengthy stretch of high-walled residences in Vila Madalena showcases some of the most impressive spray paint murals around. The constantly changing nature of the art form means there's sure to be something striking and new with each visit
