São Paulo an Alpha World City

São Paulo is the largest city in South America and the third most
populous of the world, with more than 10 million inhabitants. It
is the economical capital of Brazil and a very busy place. It is also
the richest in culture, parks and museums.

São Paulo is centered around the Praça da Sé, where there is a

stone mark symbolizing the “point zero” of the city. The subway
system is cheap and efficient but it covers only a few areas of the
city, although extensions are being made. The most interesting
neighborhoods and places to visit include Jardins, Itaim and The
Ibirapuera Park.

The main tourist attractions in the city include the different

neighborhoods with their special Italian, Japanese or Arabic
influence. They have their own characteristic atmosphere and it
is a lot of fun to walk around, go to one of the many small
restaurants or have a drink somewhere.

Brazilians say that Paulistanos (São Paulo locals) live to work and to eat which is certainly true.
Food in São Paulo is the best in the country. You can find it from a variety of restaurants from the
simplest delivery place to the fine expensive ones.

São Paulo is also very much a party town. You can get stuck in the traffic in the middle of the night
when party animals return from their hunt.

Automotive traffic in São Paulo is complicated, especially in main routes all along the weekdays
and gets worse at rush hours (from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. ). On the weekend
traffic is good with some impediments in places where there are bars, shopping centers or other
public attractions.
