São Paulo

No trip to Sao Paulo, Brazil’s southeastern capital, would be complete without exploring Ibirapuera Park. The sprawling urban green space with its monuments, museums, playgrounds, gardens, trails, lakes, and performance spaces is a recreational haven for paulistanos, as well as a showcase of modern architecture and culture.

The Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo is Sao Paulo’s oldest art museum and home to some of the most iconic Brazilian art. Founded in 1905, this revered institution is particularly renowned for its superb collection of 19th-century paintings and sculptures, as well as famous works by leading Brazilian Modernist artists.
