About this activity

Explore São Paulo's defining landmarks, neighbourhoods, and art scene on a personalised 8-hour private tour with optional hotel or airport pickup. From modernist architecture and world-class museums to historic downtown and vibrant street art, this itinerary captures both the cosmopolitan and cultural soul of Brazil's largest city.

Come with us to discover the most iconic corners of Sao Paulo. Along the way, see huge skyscrapers, historical buildings, viewpoints, monuments and a lot of world-class art.

After pick-up at your hotel, we get through the neighborhoods of Brooklin and Itaim, where we see huge office blocks and luxurious hotels.

See the cable-stayed bridge, have a stop at the popular Ibirapuera Park, climb up to the terrace of the MAC museum to enjoy a unique panoramic view of the city.

Then we drive along the iconic May 23 ave. towards the Japanese neighborhood. Afterward, stop at the Sé Cathedral and continue on getting across the downtown passing by several historical buildings with a 40-min break at the Municipal Market. We then visit the Jardins neighborhood, Oscar Freire St, and the Batman’s alley full of colorful graffitis.

Our next stop is at the multicultural Paulista Ave.
