City guide · Brazil
São Paulo is a vast inland metropolis whose visitor sights are spread among the historic centre, Avenida Paulista, Liberdade, Ibirapuera and specialised neighbourhoods. The city guide groups attractions by district and marks nearby Metro access because distance and major roads shape every itinerary. Use central clusters for architecture and markets, Paulista for museums, and Ibirapuera as its own park-and-museum block rather than crossing the city between isolated stops.

The historic centre clusters around Sé, Pátio do Colégio, the Municipal Theatre and the markets. Avenida Paulista and nearby Jardins form a separate museum, architecture and dining corridor. Liberdade lies south of the centre, while Ibirapuera Park sits farther southwest. Pinheiros and Vila Madalena add galleries and evening activity. Attractions described as São Paulo destinations can still be far apart, so district names are essential planning information.

Metro and metropolitan rail are the practical backbone for long cross-city journeys, with buses covering gaps between stations. The official city guide identifies attractions within roughly 1.5 kilometres of a Metro station, but that can still be a substantial walk. Build each day around one or two connected districts, check the current transit map, and use a bus or taxi when large avenues or distance make walking inefficient.
