São Paulo is more than just a stopover city; as one of the largest cities in South America and Brazil itself with multiple airports, many pass through on their way to another destination. But São Paulo offers so much more including a vibrant, multicultural population, incredible food, fascinating museums, active nightlife, multiple soccer teams, and lots of culture.
Why São Paulo?
Home to 41 million people, São Paulo is one of the 10 most populated cities in the world and is even bigger than Rio de Janeiro. Take a look at what makes São Paulo so unique:
Known as the epicenter of South American trade, technology, and commerce, São Paulo is the destination of choice for tech companies and workers alike.
As the city grew in the 20th century, immigrants arrived in large numbers, contributing to the city’s current diversity.
São Paulo is believed to be the 14th most globalized city in the world, producing 12% of Brazil’s Gross Domestic Product and 15% of all of South America’s GDP.
In addition to a very big Japanese population, the city is also home to large Italian, Lebanese, Korean, and Bolivian communities.
This population diversity means that the gastronomic offerings are incredible; enjoy authentic Japanese and Lebanese food, to name a few.
Avenida Paulista has been the scene of many of the city’s major events, hosting both New Years Eve celebrations as well as political demonstrations and protests. Since 1891, the avenue has run through six neighborhoods and has a length of 2.7 km; nearly 1.5 million people walk daily along its wide sidewalks.
