About Sao Paulo, Brazil

 

São Paulo is the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the largest combined city areas in the world. It is a dynamic late bloomer, having been heavily overshadowed by Rio de Janeiro not only during the colonial era but also throughout the 19th century.  

 

Jardins is a charming and safe neighborhood in the central-west zone of São Paulo, and is known for:

  • Tree-lined streets and beautiful architecture 
  • It's proximity to Avenida Paulista with its shops, fine-art museums and subway line access.
  • Many cultural & tourist spots nearby 
  • High end restaurants 
  • Luxury shopping (especially on Rua Oscar Freire)

You’ll find everything you need close by — from cozy hotels to pharmacies, shops, and lovely spots to enjoy.

Highly Recommended: Visit Ibirapuera park (10 minute car ride from the Venue)
