Activity itinerary

Museu do Ipiranga
  • 10m
On Ipiranga slope, next to Ipiranga stream, Dom Pedro I declared Brazil independence from Portugal, in 1822. The museum was built close to where the historic Independence event took place in 1822. Other than the architecture of the museum, the area has Independence Park that features huge french-style gardens inspired in Versailles in France. The museum is not open until Abril 2022, but it's worth visiting the garden and historic site.
Liberdade street market (Pass by)
The Liberdade area is the Japanese area. It's where every weekend takes place the Art, Craft and Culture Fair. Area lighting poles catch tourists attention and characterise the region for its beautiful Japanese style lamps.
Catedral da Se de Sao Paulo
  • 15m
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 (Pass by)
Historic São Paulo founding site and museum of the city. With the intention to teach and catechize 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 (Pass by)
The San Benedictine Monastery is one of those sacred tips that also applies 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 with breads, cakes, cookies and jams made by the monks themselves and whose recipes are secular.
Edificio Martinelli (Pass by)
The first skyscraper in Latin America. The construction generated much controversy, because until then there was no building of such great height. Currently, the building is one of the main architectural symbols of Brazil.
Matarazzo Building City Hall Of Sao Paulo (Pass by)
Inaugurated in 1939 to host one of the largest industrial conglomerates in Brazilian history, the Matarazzo Industries". Designed by the favourite architect of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, the Italian Marcello Piacentini. Nowadays, this is the headquarters of the city administration.
Viaduto Do Cha (Pass by)
One of the postcards of São Paulo, the tea viaduct was the first in the city of São Paulo. It bears this name because of the extensive tea plantation nearby.
Museum Theatro Municipal of Sao Paulo (Pass by)
Considered a postcard of São Paulo, the Municipal Theatre is one of the most important historical places in town due to several important cultural events that took place in its facilities like the Week of Modern Art of 1922.
Municipal Market of Sao Paulo
  • 40m
São Paulo Municipal Market is one of the main attractions of the city and a mandatory stop for everyone visit São Paulo. Do not miss out on the myriad of fruits, nuts, wines, cheeses, beers, food etc.. A summary of Brasil can be found in it.
Shopping 25 de Marco (Pass by)

Paulista Avenue
  • 15m
Walk through the fascinating Paulista avenue. A place that is sure to impress you not only with its appearance, but also with its much 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 (Pass by)
Jardins area is certainly one of the most elegant and significant areas in the city of São Paulo. Many options for leisure, entertainment, culture, fancy shopping area and boutiques, restaurants, hotel chains, etc…
Rua Oscar Freire Shopping Street (Pass by)
"High-end Boutiques" Oscar Freire St. and its surroundings are known for their luxury stores, but it is very wrong to think that everything there is expensive. In fact, stores concentrate more status than exorbitant prices. Because they are, in general, the largest stores in the chains, they end up receiving stranded products with discounts.
Paróquia Nossa Senhora do Brasil
  • 10m
Sistine-chapel like church that has plenty of paintings on the ceiling that is breathless. The church was inspired in Brazilian and Portuguese baroque temples. The style is neo-colonial, very popular in São Paulo architecture from the 1920s and 1930s.

Anyone visiting the Ibirapuera Park cannot miss this monument in honour of the early settlers, which is one of the most famous postal cards in São Paulo.
Batman Alley
  • 30m
Visit the heart of the street art in São Paulo, Batman’s alley is 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.
