If your team isn't playing in Sao Paulo you might well feel like skipping it, as at first glance there is little reason to stop and check out Latin Americas biggest sprawling metropolis.
Sao Paulo is just that BIG! A crazy city with very little to see and do if you are just looking to tick off some tourist attractions but as an experience its one that is well worth having.
A lot of English fans may consider basing themselves in Rio and flying (1 hour flight) or bussing (7 hours) in and out of Sao Paulo for the game.
Sao Paulo is an experience all in itself, a cultural melting pot driven by money and business, that gives it an edge that's for sure, but if you do scratch the surface you will find art, culture and nightlife all worth experiencing. So plan a night out!
When I told my friends in I was planning on staying in Sao Paulo for a week they of course asked "why" but I can say after extending my stay to 10 days I hardly scratched the surface of what this city's has to offer and I am sad to leave.
Sao Paulo has everything:
Art
Culture
Architecture
Night Life
Great Food!!
Plus of Course Brazil's Football Museum.

Hi Simon
ReplyDeleteIs the airport far from Sao Paulo? One flight option I'm looking at would mean I have all day to kill before getting my connection.
Ideally, I'd like to dump my bags at the airport and come into the city for a few hours if that is an option.
Hi Rob,
ReplyDeleteThe Airport is aprox a 40min bus Journey from the city centre depending on traffic and the airport bus cost R36 (real0 approx 10pounds each way.... You can get dropped at Republica (centre) or Paulister the Main business street in Sao Paulo ... There is a Free walking tour starting at Republica depending on what day and time you arrive that might be a good idea
