Why is São Paulo the best destination
for your events and business?
1 event every 6 minutes
That is the average number of events held in São Paulo
which, not without reason, is known as the city that never
stops. There are congresses, fairs, conventions, international
shows, big parties, social get together, and so on, making up
a total of 250 events per day, or 90 thousand per year.
400 thousand square meters per day to hold fairs, exhibitions and conventions. Luxury hotels, boutique hotels, two
dozen large sized convention centers – among them the
Anhembi Park, the largest in Latin America – restaurants
with special areas, museums, everything to lend an unforgettable touch to your event.
75% of the major fairs in the country
The largest economic center on the continent
São Paulo has, on the average, a business fair every three days
and is headquarters for 75% of the major fairs in the country.
Salão do Automóvel, Couromoda, Francal, Hospitalar, Automec, Fenatec, Telexpo, Expofarma and Fenit are only a few of
the references for excellent opportunities and business. This
market turns over R$2.4 billion per year – R$700 million in
space rental, R$700 million in service equipment and R$1 billion in travel, accommodations and transportation.
400 thousand m² of well-equipped,
charming top-notch spaces
A diversity of centers for fairs and congresses, the largest hotel park in the country with 46 thousand rooms,
and charming, top-notch spaces. There are more than
15% of the gross domestic product (GDP) is concentrated in
São Paulo, and 6% of the population of Brazil. Headquarters
for some of the largest global corporations, it offers a full
infrastructure of technology and services. One of the cities
with the largest business tourism turnover on the planet,
for each US$100 of wealth generated in the country, more
than US$10 of it are produced here. The per capita income
in the capital is 70% higher than that of Brazilians in general. That is, the purchasing power of its residents makes
the city a great market for every type of event.
Major happenings are the norm
The only city in Latin America to receive the Formula 1 Grand Prix (GP), São Paulo also hosts the São

Silvestre Race on December 31 st and the biggest
GLBT Parade in the world. After promoting one of the
major New Years Eve celebrations on the planet, the
city begins the year with Couromoda (Leather Fashion), a fair with more than 65 thousand professionals from around the world, while it is getting the first
edition of SP Fashion Week ready, which takes place
again in July.
The first of the Americas
According to the International Congress & Convention
Association – ICCA, which does the ranking of the major centers and events in the world, the city of São Paulo
is the major destination for international events in the
Americas. Besides figuring among the Top 20 destinations for events in the world, São Paulo won out over
destinations like Madrid, Sidney, Athena and Vancouver.
Business destination for Latin America
São Paulo is one of the 5 best destinations in Latin
America for doing business, according to an annual
study carried out by América Economia Intelligence,
a research unit of the América Economia communications company. The survey resulted in a ranking of the
42 best cities in the region for business, taking into account potential for innovation, capacity for generating
new enterprises, telecommunications, security, quality and cost of life.
International hotel chains
Do you know a boutique hotel? Do you want a spa inside your hotel? An option close to your office, a performance space, a shopping mall? There are always
quality accommodations next to the city’s main attractions. The most modern hotel center in the country is in São Paulo. Major international chains such as
Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Accor, Meliá and Radisson vie
for customers alongside exclusive options such as
Fasano, Emiliano or Unique, sophisticated and personalized boutique hotels. There are 410 hotels with
a total of 46,047 rooms or HUs.
Efficient transportation network
The São Paulo capital has a subway which is considered one of the most modern and comfortable in the
world, as well as 32 thousand taxis and more than 200
helipads – that serve a fleet of 450 helicopters, the
second largest in the world.

The two busiest airports
For air traffic, the city of São Paulo is benefited by two
of the busiest airports in the country: the São Paulo
International Airport in Guarulhos, and the Congonhas
Airport. For smaller planes and helicopters, there is
the Campo de Marte. More than 40 cities from 23 other
countries are linked regularly by commercial flights.
At the Congonhas Airport, recently modernized and remodeled to serve the growing demand, there are links
with 70 locations in nearly all the Brazilian states.
State-of-the-art services
One of the most dynamic features of the city is its
service sector, in areas such as telecommunications,
digital data transmission, banks, the financial system, research and development, business consultancy and business management, as well as in activities
related to high technology. Wireless connection (wifi) has become a reality in hotspots at the Congonhas
and Guarulhos airports, hotels, bars, book stores, cybercafes and business centers.

Differentials
Resistance
A tuned-in city, São Paulo has always been in the
vanguard of major cultural movements that have
changed Brazilian behavior and customs. In higher
education, the University of São Paulo (USP) figures
among the best 100 public universities in the world
and in the annual ranking of the British newspaper
The Times as first in South America. Also, there is
in the city a wide range of short courses, lectures,
seminars, literary discussions and a vast array of
universities and cultural centers with training that
runs from handicrafts to technology.
In the circuit of major world metropolises
According to Travel + Leisure magazine, one of the
most respected worldwide travel publications, the
city “is more a capital of the world than of Latin
America, thanks to its mosaic of cultures and lifestyles.” São Paulo had a feature article as a creative
city, where “fashion is fashion, food is the headline
and art lands in new territory.” Among its distinctions are architecture, gastronomy and art. São Paulo also landed on the pages of the New York Times
with an article that featured its sophistication and
good taste and placed it definitively in the circuit of
major world metropolises.

Why make São Paulo the high point
of your incentive program?
S
ão Paulo is a universe of options in just one place. Where else in Brazil can you find restaurants that never close, the
liveliest nightlife, Broadway musicals and boutique hotels? This is why there are many reasons to choose São Paulo
as your destination for a recreational or business trip or even for awarding an incentive program. Few cities in the world
are so interesting for so many at the same time.
Culture is our thing
The cultural scene of São Paulo is full and rich in activities. The best of the world of the arts is here. With more
than 600 plays per year, the city recently received international productions such as Phantom of the Opera, Cirque
du Soleil, Cats, The Beauty and the Beast, Chicago and
Miss Saigon. Major cultural events happen all year round.
Among them are the traditional biennial architecture, art
and book shows. And the Virada Cultural – 24 hours of art
and culture in every corner of the city, with large stages in
the streets and hundreds of simultaneous events in movie
theaters, museums, theaters and cultural centers, open
until dawn. The capital also welcomes Anima Mundi, the
International Film Exhibition and offers one of the biggest
Carnival celebrations in the country.
São Paulo means “show”
10
São Paulo is the biggest cultural hub in Latin America.
National and international shows are common, held in
large open-air arenas or in performance spaces in the city.
Recent examples: Santana, U2, Pearl Jam, B.B. King, Roger
Waters, Aerosmith, Jack Johnson, Lauryn Hill, Cold Play,
Black Eyed Peas, Diana Krall, Stanley Jordan, Norah Jones,
David Byrne, Chick Corea, Robert Cray, Lou Reed, Simply
Red, Bryan Ferry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Jean Luc
Ponty, as well as the return of Chico Buarque after eight
years away from the stage. The City Ballet and OSESP are
internationally known for the quality of their presentations.
Our stages have already seen the New York City Ballet and
many contemporary dance companies, such as Momix,
the Martha Graham Dance Company and Pina Bausch.
Cosmopolitan art
Museums in the capital have diverse collections of national and
international art. At Masp, a daring building with the largest clear
span in the world, the collection includes works of Rafael, Botticceli and Titian, from the Italian school; Delacroix, Monet, Manet,
Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Van Gogh, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec,
Modigliani and Chagall, from the Paris school, as well as the major
names in Brazilian art. São Paulo also has the only Museum of the
Portuguese Language in the world, with sensory experiences.
Brazilian art
At the Pinacoteca, or State Art Museum, next to the Jardim da
Luz, is a privileged collection of four thousand works of artists
from the 19th century and contemporary works. At the Modern
Art Museum (Mam) there is a collection of Brazilian art from
1950, with Tarsila do Amaral, Portinari and Di Cavalcanti, among
dozens of masters who give a good overview of recent national
artistic production. Next to Mam is the Biennial pavilion, which
houses one of the three main art biennial shows in the world.
Sacred Art and Frei Galvão
The Museum of Sacred Art has an impressive collection of
800 pieces from the 16th century to the present, among them
images of saints, candelabras and oratories. The museum is
situated in the Luz Monastery, designed and inaugurated by
Frei Galvão, or Saint Antônio de Sant’Anna Galvão, the first
Brazilian saint. His famous pills are also distributed there.
The Luz Monastery is in a region rich in symbols and Catholic
churches – in the vicinity are Santo Expedito church, the São
Bento Monastery and the Sé Cathedral – which comprise the
newest Turismetrô (subway tour) route in the city.

Nothing is more cosmopolitan than São Paulo gastronomy.
The city makes your mouth water with 12.5 thousand restaurants, acclaimed chefs and star winning ambiences. At
any time, German, Arab, Armenian, Chinese, Korean, Scandanavian, Spanish, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese,
Jewish, Moroccan, Mexican, Portuguese, Thai and Russian
dishes – a total of 52 nationalities – are on the tables. Not to
mention the many styles of national cuisine – from feijoada
to churrasco, from food from Minas Gerais to Bahia. There is
one dish that particularly pleases those who live in or come to
visit São Paulo: pizza. There’s even a Pizza Day – July 10.
The “paulista” program
Eating pizza, going to the Municipal Market (the Mercadão,
or “big market”), sampling hefty codfish turnovers or baloney
sandwiches are typical activities of paulistas and those who
live in the city, as well as enjoying street market turnovers,
espresso coffee, bakeries, Ibirapuera park, or happy hour with
friends until rush hour thins out... “paulistanos” like parties, cultural events, hamburgers with milk shakes late at night, and going to shopping malls. Living in São Paulo is a style that visitors
can share easily. After all, tourists today want to interact with
the places they visit, be influenced by them, and take home unforgettable and enriching experiences in their luggage.
Multifaceted and diverse
Enriched by a mosaic of 70 nationalities and Brazilians from
every state who built this great global metropolis with their own
hands, there is no other city in Latin America where everyone
lives together in such a harmonious way with so much diversity.
To visit São Paulo is to be immersed in a universe of cultures, religions, flavors and everything that is the best in urban tourism.
A worldly city that teaches the non-use of the word “discrimination,” São Paulo hosts the biggest GLBT parade in the world and
has an infinity of diverse religions and creeds that share urban
spaces in harmony. There are synagogues, mosques, orthodox
churches, Buddhist temples and many others.
A shopping paradise
There aren’t as many shopping options in any other city in the
country. São Paulo has 66 shopping malls where consumers can
find everything, commercial streets and strongholds of sophisticated shopping such as the Rua Oscar Freire region in Jardins. For
contrast, there is a popular shopping area unequalled in the country – 25 de março and vicinity, where everything is sold, from fabric
and jewelry to electronic products. There are 59 streets with specialized commerce, with innumerable stores, which side by side, offer
51 types of specific products such as Brás and Bom Retiro (clothing), Santa Ifigênia (computers, etc.) and São Caetano (brides).
São Paulo Fashion Week
Sophistication
The city has a great number of options for those who can
and want to pay for comfort, luxury and sophistication. There
are design hotels and designer shops with recently launched
collections. Oscar Freire is one of the ten most luxurious
streets in the world, according to the ranking of Excellence
Mystery Shopping International consultancy. The AAA world
can be found in São Paulo. From jewels to imported cars, from
designer clothes to cosmetics and beverages. From sophisticated restaurants with famous chefs to the courses of one of
the sports preferred by the elite around the world – golf.
And “partying” was born here
São Paulo is for every ethnic group. Clubs with Latin rhythms,
electronic music, rock, pop, Brazilian, etc. For listening and
dancing, live or from the DJs pick-ups. This nocturnal effervescence can also be found in hundreds of bars, for flirting, dating,
dancing or hanging out with friends. You can try the best Brazilian and worldwide beers with appetizers that are a must.
There are places that specialize in Brazilian cachaça, from
which the caipirinha is derived for an innumerable number
of options and mixes. For those who like to take on the night,
paulistanos have exported a term that is accepted all over
Brazil: “balada,” which means excitement, partying and fun
that starts at 11 p.m. and goes on all night.

Fashion and trends
São Paulo is a trendsetter. One example of this is the city’s
fashion, part of the worldwide scenario. Brazil has entered
into the calendar of fashion shows that includes Paris, New
York, London and Milan, with São Paulo Fashion Week, which
sets the dates for launching the collections of designers from
all over Brazil. Currently, twice a year, SPFW shows the trends
in Brazilian fashion to the entire world.
Unique tourist attractions

Bold architecture
Since boldness and innovation are the city’s signature,
this is also seen in architectural projects that blend in with
the scenery, such as the São Paulo Art Museum (MASP) by
Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi, the Copan curve by Oscar Niemeyer, the Hotel Unique and the Tomie Ohtake Institute, by
Ruy Ohtake, or the beautiful and traditional Martinelli Building, in whose penthouse a veritable suspended mansion
rises up, designed to be Martinelli’s own house. São Paulo
also preserves buildings from the Colonial Brazil era, such as
the Marquesa de Santos Manor House, the Sertanista House
and the Bandeirante House. It is also worthwhile to see traditional architecture in the European style, in buildings such as
the Pinacoteca (State Art Museum) – its design is by one of
the most illustrious residents of the capital at the apex of his
career, Ramos de Azevedo, who also designed the Municipal
Theater and the Casa das Rosas on Av. Paulista.
Well-being and relaxation
São Paulo is work and opportunity, yes. But it is also where
the best urban spas in Brazil can be found which, with their
massages, baths and esthetic and therapeutic treatments, offer
extraordinary sensations of relaxation and well-being. They are
“peaceful islands” in environments that combine aromas, colors
and sounds. For partying or for relaxing, São Paulo has it all.

Excellence in health
The city has become an international icon in important areas
of medicine such as the treatment of heart disease and cancer,

among other highly complex fields, as well as having an extensive network of diagnostic services. Many have already
discovered this and the number of people who visit the capital to take advantage of its excellent health centers is growing. Many use their business trips as an opportunity to bring
their health up to snuff, or to take care of their appearance.
After all, if Brazil is considered the major world hub for plastic surgery, having surpassed the United States, according to
data from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, São Paulo
is the main Brazilian center and a worldwide icon in this area.
There are dozens of specialized medical clinics, a good part of
them internationally recognized, that attract a large number
of visitors who come to the capital exclusively to care for their
appearance and esthetic.
Beaches and mountains in one hour
Other attractions can also be found around the São Paulo
capital. At about 70 kilometers, or less than an hour by car,
is the Santos beach, with one of the most important ports in
Latin America. Next to it is Guarujá, a beach often frequented
by paulistanos on weekends and holidays. The best known
beaches are those in the municipality of São Sebastião, such
as Maresias, as well as those of Ubatuba, such as Itamambuca. Ilhabela, a beautiful and well-preserved island, is a few
minutes by raft from the center of São Sebastião. Another
city full of charm is Campos do Jordão, in the mountains,
where the attractions are its winter and its sophistication.
Parties and exciting hot spots enliven the city in the winter,
especially from June to August.

Resistance? Still?
S
ome facts or myths about São Paulo may be cited as reasons not to hold events or bring groups to the city. Obviously, like
any big city, São Paulo has problems. But not one of them can stop the visitor from making the most of what the city has to
offer. Here are a few arguments to help overcome the myths.
Is the city polluted?
Pollution is actually a big problem for residents of large cities.
But not for visitors. Has any tourist ever not gone to New York,
Cairo or Santiago, which are among the most polluted cities in
the world, because of the condition of their air? Besides this, if
you’re worried about your health, São Paulo is the ideal place,
because it’s the largest medical center in Latin America, with
hospital complexes and internationally renowned professionals.
Shouldn’t major cities have beaches?
For those who think that being a major destination for
incentives, leisure and entertainment means there have to
be beaches, remember that Paris and Milan don’t have any.
The best in the world of art and performances is found in the
paulista capital. Shows with major international and national
musical names, a variety of plays and acclaimed films. The
city houses 257 movie theaters, 152 theaters, 39 cultural
centers and 87 museum.
Do you think it’s a “hard” city?
São Paulo today is a city that seduces more and more the
imagination of those who visit it. The occupancy levels of its hotels has surpassed 65% per year – an historic mark. It has been
confirmed that culture is a major value to be added to business
tourism. It’s not by chance that the paulista capital has become
the 3rd main leisure destination in the country, according to the
Institute of Economic Research Foundation (FIPE). Besides this,
research done by Reader’s Digest Selections in 2006 of visitors
to 35 major cities in the world and published in the British newspaper The Times, considered São Paulo the most courteous city
in Latin America and the 5th most courteous in the world.
Do the residents just work?
Of course not. Remember that the best hubs of entertainment, gastronomy, culture and leisure are born in worldwide
financial centers. The economic potential of large cities is also
reflected in their investment in spaces to combat stress, such
as theaters, shopping malls and even urban spas. The high
purchasing power of the population attracts new things to the
entertainment sector. If there is something new abroad, it arrives quickly in São Paulo.
Is there a lot of traffic in the city?
Heavy traffic is a characteristic of large metropolises. São
Paulo has the best subway system in Brazil, which is also
among the cleanest and safest in the world. With the subway it’s
very easy to avoid traffic. It has stops at many of the main attractions in the city. The hotel complex of São Paulo, with nearly
50 thousand rooms, makes it possible for visitors to stay near
their favorite attractions and interests.
What about safety?
In São Paulo, violence rates are higher in the outskirts of the city.
According to the Seade Foundation (State Data Analysis System),
the Consolação region, for example, reported only one murder in
2005. The region includes neighborhoods such as Higienópolis,
which has one of the most sophisticated shopping malls in the
city, and the Pacaembu, where the stadium of the same name is
located. The rate is equal to an average of 1.96 murders per 100
thousand inhabitants, around the same number as Paris.

Is São Paulo too big?
São Paulo’s 1,530 square kilometers is almost a world unto
itself. But this doesn’t mean that visitors necessarily have to
explore the whole city. On each trip, it’s possible to stay in a
hotel near places of interest, and taking the metro helps to
“shrink” the city.
Do you think paulistanos are cold?
A city that was formed by waves of foreign immigrants such
as Italians, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabs and Japanese, as well
as migrants from various regions of Brazil can’t be an unfriendly
city. It is open to new residents and to tourists as well. It’s a city
that has traditional celebrations of its various colonies and also
has bars for its various ethnic groups and all styles of shops.
São Paulo Turismo supports your event
In partnership with the São Paulo Convention & Visitors Bureau, SPTuris supports the preparation of briefs on the city of São
Paulo to solicit candidature as headquarters for national and international events, as well as helping to carry out site inspections. The official tourism agency of the city also provides an image bank, electronic maps, videos, promotional texts and a
marketing e-mail template that can be used in creating various types of publicity (print or electronic) for personalized group
events and programs. Additionally, SPTuris publicizes the event on the São Paulo City Calendar on the internet, if it is of interest
to the promoter, and provides electronic tools with the contents of the Program São Paulo Stay Another Day, which is an incentive for prolonging the stay of business visitors in the city. Consult us at [email protected]

São Paulo was founded by Jesuits, inhabited by Indians
and “bandeirantes”, and today is made up of people from

Piratininga became São Paulo:
today the school is a metropolis
T
he Jesuit priests José de Anchieta and Manoel da
Nóbrega climbed the “Serra do Mar”, in the ides of
1553, looking for a safe place to settle and indoctrinate
the Indians. When they reached the plateau of Piratininga, they had found the ideal spot. It had “a cool and
temperate climate, like Spain” and was “a very healthy
land, fresh and with good waters.”
On a small hill, on the banks of the Tamanduateí and Anhangabaú rivers, the religious men built a school. There, they
celebrated a mass. This was on January 25th, 1554, a date
which has come to mark the official founding of São Paulo.
Nearly five centuries later, the settlement of Piratininga
had become a city of 11 million inhabitants. The only thing
remaining from those times is the foundation of the building
made by the priests and Indians at the Pateo do Collegio.
More than 157 years would pass before Piratininga
would become a city and change its name. It was called
São Paulo, a decision approved by the king of de Portugal,
then the colonizer of Brazil. At that time, São Paulo was still
just a starting point for the “bandeiras”, expeditions that
cut through the interior of Brazil for the purpose of finding
precious minerals and imprisoning Indians.
In 1815, the city became the capital of the Province of São
Paulo. Seven years later, it was the stage for the Cry of Independence, an episode in which the prince regent at the time,
D. Pedro, declared that Brazil would no longer be a colony of
Portugal. Today, the place where this occurred houses the
Paulista Museum, also known as the Museum of Ipiranga.
São Paulo became an important economic center only at
the end of the 19th century, with the expansion of coffee
cultivation. Immigrants arrived from the four corners of the
world to work on the farms, and later in the city’s growing industrial park. Starting from the middle of the 20th century,
migrants from various Brazilian locations also landed in the
city to increase the work force. The recent arrivals imprinted their characteristics, which still remain in the city. São
Paulo has neighborhoods where oriental, Italian and Northeastern traits are still present. Traditional celebrations and
typical cuisine from various countries and Brazilian states
are already cultural expressions absorbed by the city. São
Paulo is not only a symbol of ethnic diversity and diversity
of beliefs, but also of sexual orientations and urban tribes.
Still today, the São Paulo capital welcomes with open arms
people from all parts of the country and the world.

Privileged
Location
S
ão Paulo is the best arrival point in Brazil for visitors from any part of the world or the country. The
city has nearly 500 flights daily, which are linked to
75 national and international locations. All the main
airports in Brazil and at least 23 countries have direct
flights to the São Paulo capital. Greater São Paulo has
three airports, two of them international: Congonhas, in
the South Side, and Guarulhos, located in the neighboring city of the same name.
São Paulo has the largest fleet of helicopters in Latin
America, which guarantees that renting and finding locations to land this type of aircraft is easy in the city.
Urban air traffic safety is guaranteed by a control system, the only one of its type in the world. And it’s not
only air access that makes São Paulo a privileged location. The city also has three intercity bus terminals. The
main one, Tietê, has lines serving all of Brazil and also
serves countries in the South Cone such as Uruguay,
Paraguay and Chile.
São Paulo also has ten highways linking the city to
the coast, the interior of the state and other neighboring states. The city offers an efficient collective and
urban transportation system. There are 56 subway stations, 19 bus terminals, 10 thousand city buses and 32
thousand taxis.
Mild temperature
São Paulo’s climate is altitude tropical, characterized by
an average yearly temperature of between 19º C (66 F.)
and 27º C.(80 F.). In the summer, days can start out sunny and end with rain. In the fall, the temperature is mild,
with an average of 23ºC (73 F.). Winter usually has sunny,
dry days with temperatures rarely below 15ºC (59 F.). In
spring, the climate is pleasantly warm and dry.

Cuisine is a paulistano heritage
S
18
ão Paulo is synonymous with eating well. The city
guarantees unforgettable gastronomic experiences
to its visitors. The subject is taken very seriously by paulistanos, who recognize with pride that its food sector is
one of the city’s tourism attractions. There are options for
all tastes and budgets.
São Paulo doesn’t have one typical dish, but various.
Variety is essential. There are restaurants with renowned
chefs, with exotic and traditional and vegetarian cuisine,
and fast food. After all, the city was established by immigrants from various places on the planet and also has
the contributions of migrants from the four corners of the
country. There are more than 50 different types of cuisine. There are Far Eastern restaurants, such as those
with Korean, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, traditional
ones, such as French and Italian, and even exotic ones,
such as those with Mongolian specialties. And, among
the 12,500 restaurants spread out across the city, there
are options from haute cuisine to quick dishes.
But it’s not only the bars and restaurants that carry
on the tradition. There are catering services and buffets
as well, which are surprising in terms of their flexibility
and variety, with very special dinners, cocktail parties for
more than a thousand people and special coffee breaks.
In terms of gastronomy, São Paulo leaves nothing to be
desired in any matter, mainly in the quality of services
provided. Pizza, despite being of Italian origin, is an essential dish on the paulistano menu. This is because the
city’s pizza chefs have re-interpreted the dish. There are
more pizzerias in the city than in all of Italy. In São Paulo
people eat pizza with thin or thick crust, with filling in the
crust edges, with various toppings, square pizza, pizza
by the meter, expensive and inexpensive pizzas. Another
typical dish is sushi. This Japanese dish has become a
favorite of paulistanos. The rice balls are served in the
traditional way, a la carte or in rodizio format: for a fixed
price, you can eat as much as you want. And not just sushi: there are also other specialties in the more than 500
Japanese restaurants in greater São Paulo. But paulistanos don’t live just on Argentinean parrillas (barbecue),
Arabic esfihas (turnovers), Spanish paellas, Mexican tacos and German eisnbeins. Cuisine from every corner of
Brazil is also found in São Paulo. Whether it’s a Bahaian
acarajé (bean-shrimp croquette) or a Gaucho barbecue,
typical Brazilian gastronomy has a guaranteed place.
If the gastronomical experience is essential to get to know
a city, this is even more the case with São Paulo. Here, quality,
competitive prices and top-of-the-line services join hands.
Diversity and variety are the trademarks of cultural programming
S
ão Paulo is home to the most important cultural events in
the country. There are film festivals, shows, fashion runway
shows and exhibitions. In addition to large sized events, the
city’s ongoing cultural scenario is exhilarating. In the more than
250 movie theaters, 150 theaters and performance spaces, 87
museums as well as various cultural centers, there is varied
programming all year long. To visit São Paulo is to immerse oneself in a universe of artistic expressions. Consult the official site
of the city of São Paulo for information about cultural programming (www.cidadedesaopaulo.com).

In São Paulo you can find works of art of every artistic trend: modernism, renaissance, impressionism, baroque. In some São Paulo museum, the visitor is bound
to find the trend or form he or she likes best: sculpture,
painting, installations, interventions, and so on. Art is
also in the streets. Graffitti, good-natured paintings on
walls, are the city’s trademark. Internationally known
artists, such as the Gêmeos, have works spread over
the walls of Cambuci. On Rua Guaicurus in Lapa, and
on Rua Belmiro Braga in Vila Madalena, there are other
works exhibited on the walls of houses.
The city’s theater scene is unique in Brazil. After all, there
are at least a hundred theaters. From Broadway musicals to
experimental plays, there’s a little of everything. The alternative circuit, around the Roosevelt Plaza, has been emerging
as a new hub for cultural events. São Paulo also has movie
theaters spread around the four corners of the city: in cultural centers, shopping malls, galleries, or on the street. But
two months are special for cinephiles. In April there’s the
International Documentary Festival, and in October it’s the
well-attended International Film Exhibition’s turn.

São Paulo is used to welcoming various international

also houses major events in various other sectors.
Among the best known are São Paulo Fashion Week,
Casa Cor (interior decoration exhibition) and the traditional biennials of architecture, art and books. The
newest of these events is the Virada Cultural, 24 hours
of art and culture. On that date, museums stay open
until dawn and there are street presentations of dance
and music groups.
Every year the paulistano Carnival makes its mark as one
of the most important cultural manifestations in the country. The city has its own Sambodromo, which guarantees
the best in comfort for spectators and also for those who
want to be in the parade. There are boxes and bleachers.
The main parades are held on Friday and Saturday of Carnival week. There are other folk and traditional celebrations,
such as the Italian San Vito in June, the Our Lady of Achiropita in August and San Gennaro in September, as well as
the Japanese Tanabata Matsuri, which takes place in July.

T
he north side is the entry portal to São Paulo for most
visitors who arrive in the city by bus. The Tietê Bus Terminal, one of the busiest in the world, is there. It serves
more than 600 locations all over Brazil and four countries:
Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Argentina.
Right next to the terminal is the State Archive, considered
a paradise for researchers of old documents. It offers a free
service for consulting newspapers and magazines, from the
oldest to the most current. The big attraction, however, are
the records of those investigated in the old Deops (Dept. of
Political and Social Order), available on microfilm.
For those who prefer to take it easy, the Freguesia do Ó
public square is ideal. With a church in the middle, it looks
like a rural plaza set down right in the middle of the São Paulo capital. It is encircled by bars and the traditional Festa do
Divino is held there in May. Those who prefer pagan celebrations
also have options in this region. Various rehearsal spaces of
samba schools from the capital are found in the north side:
Império da Casa Verde, Mocidade Alegre, Rosas de Ouro,
Unidos do Peruche and Unidos da Vila Maria.
The region is also lavish with green areas. The Horto Florestal and the Serra da Cantareira State Park are there. One
of the most interesting parks in the capital, Cantareira has
ecological trails, waterfalls and spots for picnics, as well as
small restaurants. Fun for a whole day.
The east side, on the other hand, has important relics from
the history of São Paulo. One of them is the São Miguel Chapel, in
the São Miguel Paulista neighborhood. It is the oldest church in
the city, dating from 1622, which replaced the small 1560 chapel that had been built by José de Anchieta. The chapel was remodeled in 1940 and became a cathedral, but it is still possible

to see the pounded adobe walls erected in the 17th century.
Another important historical relic of the city is also in the
east side. It is the Immigrant Memorial, in the Brás neighborhood. Built in 1887 to welcome recent arrivals from various
countries, the place still holds objects, photos and documents
from the time when it served as a shelter for immigrants, who
later moved on to the coffee plantations in the interior of the
state. In the digitalized archives in the museum, you can find
people who passed through the shelter. A steam engine train,
the type used to transport them, does brief tours.
The parks in the region are also an excellent leisure option, such as the Tietê Ecological Park and the Carmo Park. In
the latter, located in Itaquera, there is a recently inaugurated
planetarium with state of the art equipment. On weekends
and holidays there are special sessions for children under
age 8 (at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.) and for the public in general (at
12 a.m. and 4 p.m.). Next to the entrance of the planetarium
is the Sesc Itaquera which, like the Sesc Belenzinho, is a cultural center with good programs.

ext to São Paulo, only 27 kilometers from the center of
the city, is Embu das Artes. It lives up to its name. There
you can find dozens of painters’ and sculptors’ ateliers, antique dealers, art galleries and many handicraft, rustic furniture, bed, table and bath linen, decoration and carpet stores.
It’s an unforgettable tour, framed by buildings comprising the
historic legacy of the 18th century.
Walking through the streets of Embu on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, visitors will also encounter a large open
air fair. Good restaurants and the quality of the products sold
in the city make Embu das Artes one of the favorite routes of
paulistanos on the weekends.
Getting to Embu is very easy: it is located on the Régis
Bittencourt highway near km 288. More information and a
map of city are on the site www.embu.sp.gov.br.
Santana de Parnaíba, in its turn, is also a historic city, with
209 landmarked buildings. A little more than 35 kilometers
from the center of São Paulo, the city welcomes tourists on
the weekends. One of the main attractions is the Casa do Anhangüera Historical and Pedagogical Museum that tells the
story of the bandeirantes, the trailblazers who passed through
São Paulo in the beginning of Portuguese colonization. The city
offers tours that go along trails through the rural zone, passing
through stills. Information about the tours at: (11) 4154-5042
or on the site www.santanadeparnaiba.sp.gov.br.
Access is also very easy via the Castelo Branco Highway.
Take exit 26-B, heading toward Barueri. Then continue on the
Romeiros highway for 12 kilometers until you come to the
center of the city of Santana de Parnaíba.

Beach in Ilhabela
Beaches
São Paulo has one of the most beautiful coastlines in
Brazil because it still maintains natural reserves of the
Atlantic Forest, the humid forest that used to occupy the
entire Brazilian coast. The north region has beaches with
white sand and crystalline waters, such as the ones in
Ubatuba and São Sebastião. Ilhabela, the favorite island of
paulistanos, is ideal for practicing water sports. The main
beaches have an excellent hotel infrastructure, good restaurants and high quality shopping options. All of this just
a few hours by car from the São Paulo capital.

The Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and is located
in the heart of Ibirapuera Park. Popularly known as “Pavilhão da Bienal”, the building was especially conceived to shelter large-scale expositions. Built entirely in
concrete, steel and glass, the Pavilion is surrounded by the lush green of the
Park and is situated in the heart of São Paulo’s South side, in one of city’s most
upscale and easy-to-access areas. The architectural beauty and the privileged
location of the Biennial Pavilion make it an ideal place for high-visibility events
of the São Paulo events calendar. It is also the seat of some of Brazil’s foremost
shows of art, architecture and fashion. Located next to this Pavilion are the Lucas
Nogueira Garcez Pavilion (known as the “Oca”) and the Museum of Modern Art,
which houses art exhibits and general-interest expositions.

ew cities offer venues for large-scale conventions;
São Paulo has an infrastructure for just that. The
city’s various convention centers feature auditoriums
with capacities for over 500 people. These are extensive spaces that also offer state-of-the-art infrastructure of services and technology. Moreover, the
city also offers other requirements for major events:
skilled labor in wide-ranging areas such as simultaneous translation and bilingual receptionists, efficient
public transit system, and top-notch suppliers of the
widest array of materials. And this also includes small
events; in São Paulo, small-scale encounters take on
a sophisticated air thanks to the full spectrum of differentiated services available in the city.

Do you think
New York has
more events
than São Paulo?
You are wrong.
São Paulo: 1st place among the Americas in number of events.
São Paulo has achieved the 1st place in a very important ranking, the ICCA’s ranking – International Congress
& Convention Association. São Paulo was the city with the largest number of international events among the
Americas. This position is the result of the work of the Convention & Visitors Bureau with the important support
from São Paulo Tourism and Embratur. São Paulo has surpassed important cities such as Madrid, Sidney, New
York and Vancouver. São Paulo really is all of the best.
