It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through São Paulo, Brazil, with us.
Connecting two major districts in the south part of the city, Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge is a whopping 453 feet tall and 5,200 feet long, and draws many thanks to its unusual “X” shape. At night, the bridge lights up. Walk across its bridge deck and, at the holidays, admire its Christmas tree-like color effects. © Filipe Frazao | Dreamstime.com
Soccer (or futbal, if you’re in Brazil) fans must visit Pacaembu Stadium, frequently the host of the Big 4 football clubs of the State of São Paulo. Holding more than 40,000 visitors, the stadium has hosted World Cup matches and concerts. The stadium opened a museum in 2008 detailing the history of Brazilian football. © Alexandre Fagundes De Fagundes | Dreamstime.com
At São Paulo Museum of Art lies the largest and one of the more comprehensive collections of Western art found in Latin America. With more than 8,000 works of art, ranging from everything from early modern French and Italian artwork to Brazilian art to Egyptian and Greek antiquities, the museum covers various movements and eras in art history. Notable artists featured include Vincent Van Gogh, Boticelli, Cézanne, Goya and Hogarth. © Giancarlo Liguori | Dreamstime.com
Browse through aisles and stalls selling spices, fruits, vegetables, meats and other food products at Municipal Market of São Paulo, a large public market. In addition to fresh food items, the market is also best known for the stained glass surrounding it. Arranged in 32 panels, 72 stained-glass pieces adorn the market and, instead of religious depictions, show different areas of food production in the greater São Paulo region. © Alf Ribeiro | Dreamstime.com
See the city in all its glory from Ibirapuera Park, one of Latin America’s largest urban parks. With plenty of spots for leisure, walking and sightseeing, this park is great for visitors of all ages. The park also features museums and various English garden-inspired landscapes, perfect for kids to explore native flora. © F11photo | Dreamstime.com
To see some of the city’s best street art murals, head to Vila Madalena neighborhood, Beco do Batman and Beco do Aprendiz. Beco do Aprendiz became an open-air gallery in 2002, and visitors can walk the streets and alleyway to admire works from different graffiti artists. © Beriliu | Dreamstime.com
In city center, find beautiful examples of historic buildings from different eras in the city’s history. Mosteiro de São Bento, a church built in the late 16th century, is one of the best examples of Romanesque Revival architecture. Other historic sites include Catedral da Sé São Paulo, Altino Arantes Building and the great Monument to the Independence of Brazil. © Marcelo33158 | Dreamstime.com
