Highlights

I invite you to join me on this self guided audio tour into the heart of downtown São Paulo. Not only will I show you a number of the city's beautiful landmarks, but you will also gain insight into the evolution of the city. From being a mosquito-infested village to the economic powerhouse it is today! My name is Andrew Creelman, I'm a tour guide and author of two best selling books about life in São Paulo. If you are under the impression that this concrete jungle has little to offer in the way of interest...allow me to surprise you!

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).
