About Sao Paulo
City overview
São Paulo is Brazil largest city, a highland megacity of business towers, immigrant food districts, museums, football, nightlife, and heavy traffic. Avenida Paulista, Centro, Vila Madalena, Pinheiros, Liberdade, Bela Vista, and Ibirapuera form a better first map than trying to treat the whole metropolis as one center.
Food & drink
São Paulo food is a city inventory: pizza, pastel, mortadella sandwiches, feijoada, coxinha, pão de queijo, sushi, ramen, Lebanese esfihas, and Italian cantina meals. Mercado Municipal, Liberdade, Bixiga, Pinheiros, Vila Madalena, and Paulista lunch counters show why food is the city strongest travel hook.
