Why Fly to São Paulo, Brazil?

Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) is Brazil’s largest and busiest international airport, served nonstop by American, Delta, United, LATAM, and Azul from multiple US cities. São Paulo’s position as South America’s financial hub makes GRU one of the most connected airports in the hemisphere. From São Paulo you can reach the extraordinary Iguaçu Falls (2h by air, or 17h by road to Foz do Iguaçu), the coffee region (4h by road), and Rio de Janeiro (1h by air).

MASP — Brazil’s Finest Art Museum
The Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) — a 1968 Lina Bo Bardi masterpiece of four enormous red concrete pillars suspending a glass box above Avenida Paulista’s underground plaza — houses Brazil’s finest collection of Western art: Raphael, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, and an extraordinary collection of Brazilian modernism.
São Paulo Food Scene — 15,000+ Restaurants
São Paulo’s restaurant scene is the Southern Hemisphere’s most extraordinary — more Japanese restaurants than Tokyo (the city has 1.5 million Japanese-Brazilians), more Italian-influenced trattorias than most Italian cities, and a contemporary Brazilian cuisine (Alex Atala’s D.O.M., consistently in the World’s 50 Best) that has redefined Amazonian ingredients for fine dining. The Mercadão (Municipal Market) and the Liberdade Sunday market are essential food experiences.
Ibirapuera Park — São Paulo’s Lungs
Ibirapuera Park — a 1.6km² urban park designed by Oscar Niemeyer (1954) containing the Museu Afro Brasil, the Museu de Arte Moderna, the Pavilhão da Bienal (São Paulo Biennial, the second-largest contemporary art event in the world), and an extraordinary system of Oscar Niemeyer-designed pavilions connected by a sinuous concrete canopy — is the city’s great public space.
Vila Madalena & Street Art — Beco do Batman
Vila Madalena — São Paulo’s most bohemian neighborhood of independent bars, art galleries, and the extraordinary Beco do Batman (Batman Alley), a narrow passageway of rotating large-scale murals by São Paulo’s world-renowned street art community — reflects the city’s extraordinary contemporary art culture, one of the world’s richest outside New York and London.
Avenida Paulista & Financial District
Avenida Paulista — São Paulo’s 2.8km central boulevard of skyscrapers, banks, cultural centers, and the extraordinary MASP — is the city’s great public axis, closed to cars on Sundays for a remarkable pedestrian festival of cyclists, musicians, market stalls, and the full cross-section of São Paulo’s extraordinary demographic diversity.
