Long overshadowed by rival city Rio de Janeiro, ugly sister São Paulo actually has many redeeming features. Too many visitors bypass the megalopolis, becoming familiar only with its airport whilst in transit elsewhere, but there are any reasons to venture outside the terminal, say luxury Brazilian travel experts Dehouche.
São Paulo is the world’s third largest city and South America’s largest and enjoys a cultural diversity you won’t find in other Brazilian cities. Boasting boutiques that are the envy of even New Yorkers, dynamic nightlife and some of the finest restaurants in Brazil; there are many reasons to reconsider São Paulo. Here Dehouche share some quirky facts you may not have known about Brazil’s concrete jungle.
1) Little Japan – São Paulo is an unmistakeably cosmopolitan city and as well as being home to the largest Japanese population outside of Japan itself, boasts large Italian and Middle Eastern communities, making it an exciting place to dine indeed. In addition to a wealth of international restaurants, an increasing number of São Paulo’s chefs are looking to traditional Brazilian dishes to provide new inspiration and producing inventive and original dishes. Sao Paulo is also home to perhaps the world’s only restaurant with a tree inside, ask Dehouche where to find it.
2) Sky traffic – Despite regulations to try and discourage residents (Paulistanos) from using their cars, São Paulo’s traffic is notorious. The city’s streets so regularly grind to a halt that Rio’s residents, those playful Cariocas, joke that the Paulistanos idea of fun is handing out business cards in traffic jams. One way of escaping the snarl ups is to take to the skies and with São Paulo home to many of Brazil’s (and the world’s) wealthiest it’s perhaps not surprising that São Paulo has the world’s largest fleet of private helicopters.
3) Economic capital - If São Paulo were a country in its own right it would be richer than Belgium, having an economy about the same size as that of New Zealand. Long established as the country’s economic capital, Sampa is home to numerous global corporations and skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. It’s also Brazil’s most expensive city and not a particularly forgiving place for those who don’t have any ‘grana’ to spend.
4) Four seasons in one day- Despite São Paulo’s proximity to Rio it does not share the former’s enviable climate; as well as becoming much colder in winter, São Paulo’s weather has a reputation for being unpredictable. Fortunately, unlike Rio, much of the entertainment takes place indoors.
Let Dehouche arrange your luxury boutique hotel and enjoy a whole host of insider tips on where to truly escape from it all on your honeymoon.
