Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest and most multicultural city, seems to be overlooked by many tourists, who usually prefer to visit the more famous Rio de Janeiro; However, this wealthy city towards the south of the country has plenty to offer, especially when it comes to culture and cuisine, thanks to its high-quality, diverse restaurants and profusion of important sights. The best way to discover Sao Paulo is by foot - visiting the Paulista Avenue, Ibirapuera Park, Japanese and Italian districts, or one of its many museums.
