The mixture of architecture styles is breathtaking. From Mosteiro São Bento (where you can catch the gregorian chanting very early in the morning) to the cathedral Sé, passing through dozens of cultural centres, squares and local restaurants, it is a walk one should do to really understand the city.

It's an architecture masterpiece (some people may disagree), designed by the genius Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. Host of São Paulo Fashion Week and São Paulo's Biennale, among other important museums such as Oca, it's a delighted place if you want a bit of art and culture, practice sports or just take a break and relax on the green grass.

Going to a bakery to have a real meal is one of the most normal things to do as a local. And this one is always full not only for its location (it is very central) and opening hours, but also because their food is freaking good. My favorites are the sandwiches which are delicious and big, so if you don't eat that much, it's enough for two.

Vila Madalena is a huge open air shopping mall, where you can find from fashion to house utilities, cool furniture, buy organic food and even take a shopping break at the end of the day with a cold chope (the Brazilian famous draft beer) to relax. It's one of the best places in town to try it from one pub to another.

When it comes to food, some Brazilian hits can be found there - with a gourmet touch. You will find many dishes made out of "tapioca", probably the most Brazilian ingredient of all, such as "coxinha” and the “tapioca com baba de moça e pitanga negra congelada” desert. I won’t translate it, please go there and taste them on your on :)

From tech cosmetics to high couture, JK Shopping Mall shows that the Brazilian market is equal to the biggest fashion places such as Paris, New York, Milan or Tokyo. That all being said, it’s also an interesting site to see and to be seen, as well as to understand a little bit about how the local high society lives and behaves.

Besides always having good Brazilian food and cold beer, they also serve the famous “pastel” - and it’s a must try! Don’t bother ordering, once they have a new fresh batch coming from the kitchen the friendly waiters will walk around the tables offering them. An experience from the beginning to the end.

The chocolate here is of Belgian origin and they combine it with a wide range of ingredients that add a special touch to the flavour. The cozy and light coloured ambience invites you in and you are given the opportunity to see the candies, cakes and coffee being prepared before your eyes.

In addition to the reasons locals love it, during lunch time, there are two different dishes each day. The prices are reasonable and the coloured bottles with free filtered water on the tables give a jovial atmosphere to the place.

Opened in 1910, it's a classic that not everyone is aware of! It was (and still is) a meeting place for generations. Close to the busy Avenida Paulista, you'll have the feeling that it's a place stopped in time, in the best way possible.

Casa Mathilde is originally from 1850 and Portugal. Brought to Brazil with all the original recipes, their portuguese sweets are just the perfect bites to go with an afternoon coffee or sparkling water after lunch. Besides, if you sit at one of the tables, you can see from the mirror above the kitchen how they make all their sugary delicious goods

This small place is essentially Brazilian and the bread, cakes and other sweets are scrumptious. At lunch time, a buffet is served upstairs. Easy to get there, between Brigadeiro and Paraíso subway stations, among many other interesting attractions.
