São Paulo

Sao Paulo is the world’sfourth largest city and the economic center of Brazil and Latin America. Founded in 1554 by the Jesuits, it is presently a metropolis of 20 million people and one of the ten richest cities on the planet. As a veritable “melting pot”, Sao Paulo is home to a number of different communities including Portuguese, African, German, English, French and Korean, not to mention the huge Italian population, making it the third largest Italian city outside of Italy. It is also possesses the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.

A must stop for businessmen, it is also a city of art and culture, avant garde in fashion, design and contemporary art and architecture. A law passed in 2007 forbids all outdoor advertising. The city has 2,578 skyscrapers, highways that converge above the hills and architectural masterpieces like the Copan building by Oscar Niemeyer whose statues can be admired in the city’s parks.

The Ibirapuera, is the equivalent of London’s Hyde Park, with its wide lanes, lakes and tropical trees. Its Japanese pavilion, planetarium, Museum of Modern Art and 20,000 seat stadium make the park a microcosm of Brazil where local residents await the slightest ray of sun to picnic, go bicycling, roller blading or simply enjoy an afternoon siesta.
