São Paulo is one of few places where the past and present are seamlessly interwoven. The city has witnessed events from Brazilian Independence to political and cultural revolutions and pro-democracy protests. It is also home to hundreds of cinemas, museums, theatres, cultural heritage sites, parks, performance halls, amusement and theme parks, restaurants, bars, hotels, event spaces, street fairs, shopping centres and specialized retail districts.
Each year about ten million visitors come to do business, go shopping or simply enjoy the city’s world class culture. Here, they experience an around-the-clock metropolis and a lifestyle that mixes work and pleasure like they were two sides of the same coin. Capital city of a state the size of the United Kingdom, with a population similar to Spain’s, and generating almost half of Brazil’s economic output, São Paulo has become Brazil’s foremost tourism destination.
