Sao Paulo, the mega city

Sao Paulo is farrago, incessant activity, masses of concrete that rise from the overnight, factories sprouting from the earth, people and more people going to and from work. It is no wonder: in Sao Paulo 15 million people live. This mega city has grown in a way that was absorbing the surrounding villages, incorporating the village, so that the poets say adventurers can wander for miles jumping from roof to roof ...

If Rio de Janeiro is the tourist city in Brazil, Sao Paulo, the main metropolis of the Americas and one of the most populated in the world, is the financial center. Such dimensions make urban Sao Paulo, founded four centuries and a half, a chaotic tangle of skyscrapers and cars, with great contrasts ago. Also, as a financial city, it is common to receive many daily visitors for business reasons. Thus, in the city center a wide selection of hotels in Sao Paulo specially designed for business unfolds.

San Paulo is Brazil's modern city par excellence. Pollution, record sounds, street advertising, graffiti (how come with spray there?) chaos of cars, pedestrians, hawkers and indefinable characters, everything imaginable business and an asymmetrical layout ... Downtown Sao Paulo is characterized as the place of the city with more color and history.

Ibirapuera Park 
In a large, congested city, the Ibirapuera Park is a gift. Literally, the city government offered up to the city in 1954 to celebrate its fourth anniversary. Of the more than thirty public parks in Sao Paulo, Ibirapuera is the biggest and most interesting. There are some hotels in Sao Paulo located just opposite the park, where an unforgettable view of the city is reached.

Sao Paulo shopping 
No map, it is easy to get lost in San Paulo. So if you shop around town and want to know the most traditional culture São Paulo, we highly recommend a visit to agendarse Municipal Market (Monday-Saturday, Rua da Cantareira 306). Opened in 1933, the architecture is typical of the boom years of coffee cultivation, with ceilings over ten feet tall and large stained glass motif agriculture.
