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.

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.

Besides the unbelievable delicious and creative dishes and deserts, they also have a huge variety of "cachaça", the Brazilian famous beverage made of sugar cane (you may also know it from the "caipirinha" drinks) and a great selection of special beer. It's a very special place to try local food and have a whole experience for hours and hours.

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.

If you are a fan of sky bars, the view is actually gorgeous. Not too high though, but still amazing. Perfect for Summer or warm nights, bringing the feeling of being outdoors to its most. Enjoy a cocktail, some food and good talks watching life passing down there.

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.

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.
