About São Paulo

São Paulo is Brazil's largest city, a sprawling metropolis of art museums, street markets and immigrant neighbourhoods, famed for its food.

São Paulo spreads across a plateau about 750 metres above sea level, a sea of towers broken by patches of green. Avenida Paulista is the main boulevard, with the MASP art museum raised on two red concrete frames above a public square. Ibirapuera Park has curving buildings by Oscar Niemeyer, and the Pinacoteca in the old centre shows Brazilian art in a brick building beside the Jardim da Luz.

Top-ranked sights in São Paulo: Paulista Avenue (Avenida Paulista), Sao Paulo Municipal Theater (Theatro Municipal), Sé Cathedral (Catedral da Sé).
