There are congresses, fairs, conventions, international shows, big parties, social get together, and so on, making up a total of 250 events per day, or 90 thousand per year. 400 thousand square meters per day to hold fairs, exhibitions and conventions. Luxury hotels, boutique hotels, two dozen large sized convention centers – among them the Anhembi Park, the largest in Latin America – restaurants with special areas, museums, everything to lend an unforgettable touch to your event. 75% of the major fairs in the country The largest economic center on the continent São Paulo has, on the average, a business fair every three days and is headquarters for 75% of the major fairs in the country. Salão do Automóvel, Couromoda, Francal, Hospitalar, Automec, Fenatec, Telexpo, Expofarma and Fenit are only a few of the references for excellent opportunities and business. This market turns over R$2.4 billion per year – R$700 million in space rental, R$700 million in service equipment and R$1 billion in travel, accommodations and transportation. 400 thousand m² of well-equipped, charming top-notch spaces A diversity of centers for fairs and congresses, the largest hotel park in the country with 46 thousand rooms, and charming, top-notch spaces. There are more than 15% of the gross domestic product (GDP) is concentrated in São Paulo, and 6% of the population of Brazil. Headquarters for some of the largest global corporations, it offers a full infrastructure of technology and services. One of the cities with the largest business tourism turnover on the planet, for each US$100 of wealth generated in the country, more than US$10 of it are produced here. The per capita income in the capital is 70% higher than that of Brazilians in general. That is, the purchasing power of its residents makes the city a great market for every type of event. Major happenings are the norm The only city in Latin America to receive the Formula 1 Grand Prix (GP), São Paulo also hosts the São ©2 8 Varied Cuisine Reflecting Pool at the Elis Regina Space Silvestre Race on December 31 st and the biggest GLBT Parade in the world. After promoting one of the major New Years Eve celebrations on the planet, the city begins the year with Couromoda (Leather Fashion), a fair with more than 65 thousand professionals from around the world, while it is getting the first edition of SP Fashion Week ready, which takes place again in July. The first of the Americas According to the International Congress & Convention Association – ICCA, which does the ranking of the major centers and events in the world, the city of São Paulo is the major destination for international events in the Americas. Besides figuring among the Top 20 destinations for events in the world, São Paulo won out over destinations like Madrid, Sidney, Athena and Vancouver. Business destination for Latin America São Paulo is one of the 5 best destinations in Latin America for doing business, according to an annual study carried out by América Economia Intelligence, a research unit of the América Economia communications company. The survey resulted in a ranking of the 42 best cities in the region for business, taking into account potential for innovation, capacity for generating new enterprises, telecommunications, security, quality and cost of life. International hotel chains Do you know a boutique hotel? Do you want a spa inside your hotel? An option close to your office, a performance space, a shopping mall? There are always quality accommodations next to the city’s main attractions. The most modern hotel center in the country is in São Paulo. Major international chains such as Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Accor, Meliá and Radisson vie for customers alongside exclusive options such as Fasano, Emiliano or Unique, sophisticated and personalized boutique hotels. There are 410 hotels with a total of 46,047 rooms or HUs. Efficient transportation network The São Paulo capital has a subway which is considered one of the most modern and comfortable in the world, as well as 32 thousand taxis and more than 200 helipads – that serve a fleet of 450 helicopters, the second largest in the world. © Photos: 1-Rodrigo Petterson 2-Heudes RÉgis/ABRASEL 3-Spreading parque anhembi The two busiest airports For air traffic, the city of São Paulo is benefited by two of the busiest airports in the country: the São Paulo International Airport in Guarulhos, and the Congonhas Airport. For smaller planes and helicopters, there is the Campo de Marte. More than 40 cities from 23 other countries are linked regularly by commercial flights. At the Congonhas Airport, recently modernized and remodeled to serve the growing demand, there are links with 70 locations in nearly all the Brazilian states. State-of-the-art services One of the most dynamic features of the city is its service sector, in areas such as telecommunications, digital data transmission, banks, the financial system, research and development, business consultancy and business management, as well as in activities related to high technology. Wireless connection (wifi) has become a reality in hotspots at the Congonhas and Guarulhos airports, hotels, bars, book stores, cybercafes and business centers. Vanguard and knowledge center Hold your event in SP ©3 Characteristics of the city Differentials Resistance A tuned-in city, São Paulo has always been in the vanguard of major cultural movements that have changed Brazilian behavior and customs. In higher education, the University of São Paulo (USP) figures among the best 100 public universities in the world and in the annual ranking of the British newspaper The Times as first in South America. Also, there is in the city a wide range of short courses, lectures, seminars, literary discussions and a vast array of universities and cultural centers with training that runs from handicrafts to technology. In the circuit of major world metropolises According to Travel + Leisure magazine, one of the most respected worldwide travel publications, the city “is more a capital of the world than of Latin America, thanks to its mosaic of cultures and lifestyles.” São Paulo had a feature article as a creative city, where “fashion is fashion, food is the headline and art lands in new territory.” Among its distinctions are architecture, gastronomy and art. São Paulo also landed on the pages of the New York Times with an article that featured its sophistication and good taste and placed it definitively in the circuit of major world metropolises. 9 Hold your event in SP ©1 CHARACTERISTICS OF SÃO PAULO Differentials Resistance Marginal Pinheiros D iffe r entials Why make São Paulo the high point of your incentive program? S ão Paulo is a universe of options in just one place. Where else in Brazil can you find restaurants that never close, the liveliest nightlife, Broadway musicals and boutique hotels? This is why there are many reasons to choose São Paulo as your destination for a recreational or business trip or even for awarding an incentive program. Few cities in the world are so interesting for so many at the same time. Culture is our thing The cultural scene of São Paulo is full and rich in activities. The best of the world of the arts is here. With more than 600 plays per year, the city recently received international productions such as Phantom of the Opera, Cirque du Soleil, Cats, The Beauty and the Beast, Chicago and Miss Saigon. Major cultural events happen all year round. Among them are the traditional biennial architecture, art and book shows. And the Virada Cultural – 24 hours of art and culture in every corner of the city, with large stages in the streets and hundreds of simultaneous events in movie theaters, museums, theaters and cultural centers, open until dawn. The capital also welcomes Anima Mundi, the International Film Exhibition and offers one of the biggest Carnival celebrations in the country. São Paulo means “show” 10 São Paulo is the biggest cultural hub in Latin America. National and international shows are common, held in large open-air arenas or in performance spaces in the city. Recent examples: Santana, U2, Pearl Jam, B.B. King, Roger Waters, Aerosmith, Jack Johnson, Lauryn Hill, Cold Play, Black Eyed Peas, Diana Krall, Stanley Jordan, Norah Jones, David Byrne, Chick Corea, Robert Cray, Lou Reed, Simply Red, Bryan Ferry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Jean Luc Ponty, as well as the return of Chico Buarque after eight years away from the stage. The City Ballet and OSESP are internationally known for the quality of their presentations. Our stages have already seen the New York City Ballet and many contemporary dance companies, such as Momix, the Martha Graham Dance Company and Pina Bausch. Cosmopolitan art Museums in the capital have diverse collections of national and international art. At Masp, a daring building with the largest clear span in the world, the collection includes works of Rafael, Botticceli and Titian, from the Italian school; Delacroix, Monet, Manet, Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Van Gogh, Matisse, Toulouse-Lautrec, Modigliani and Chagall, from the Paris school, as well as the major names in Brazilian art. São Paulo also has the only Museum of the Portuguese Language in the world, with sensory experiences. Brazilian art At the Pinacoteca, or State Art Museum, next to the Jardim da Luz, is a privileged collection of four thousand works of artists from the 19th century and contemporary works. At the Modern Art Museum (Mam) there is a collection of Brazilian art from 1950, with Tarsila do Amaral, Portinari and Di Cavalcanti, among dozens of masters who give a good overview of recent national artistic production. Next to Mam is the Biennial pavilion, which houses one of the three main art biennial shows in the world. Sacred Art and Frei Galvão The Museum of Sacred Art has an impressive collection of 800 pieces from the 16th century to the present, among them images of saints, candelabras and oratories. The museum is situated in the Luz Monastery, designed and inaugurated by Frei Galvão, or Saint Antônio de Sant’Anna Galvão, the first Brazilian saint. His famous pills are also distributed there. The Luz Monastery is in a region rich in symbols and Catholic churches – in the vicinity are Santo Expedito church, the São Bento Monastery and the Sé Cathedral – which comprise the newest Turismetrô (subway tour) route in the city. ©2 Nothing is more cosmopolitan than São Paulo gastronomy. The city makes your mouth water with 12.5 thousand restaurants, acclaimed chefs and star winning ambiences. At any time, German, Arab, Armenian, Chinese, Korean, Scandanavian, Spanish, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Jewish, Moroccan, Mexican, Portuguese, Thai and Russian dishes – a total of 52 nationalities – are on the tables. Not to mention the many styles of national cuisine – from feijoada to churrasco, from food from Minas Gerais to Bahia. There is one dish that particularly pleases those who live in or come to visit São Paulo: pizza. There’s even a Pizza Day – July 10. The “paulista” program Eating pizza, going to the Municipal Market (the Mercadão, or “big market”), sampling hefty codfish turnovers or baloney sandwiches are typical activities of paulistas and those who live in the city, as well as enjoying street market turnovers, espresso coffee, bakeries, Ibirapuera park, or happy hour with friends until rush hour thins out... “paulistanos” like parties, cultural events, hamburgers with milk shakes late at night, and going to shopping malls. Living in São Paulo is a style that visitors can share easily. After all, tourists today want to interact with the places they visit, be influenced by them, and take home unforgettable and enriching experiences in their luggage. Multifaceted and diverse Enriched by a mosaic of 70 nationalities and Brazilians from every state who built this great global metropolis with their own hands, there is no other city in Latin America where everyone lives together in such a harmonious way with so much diversity. To visit São Paulo is to be immersed in a universe of cultures, religions, flavors and everything that is the best in urban tourism. A worldly city that teaches the non-use of the word “discrimination,” São Paulo hosts the biggest GLBT parade in the world and has an infinity of diverse religions and creeds that share urban spaces in harmony. There are synagogues, mosques, orthodox churches, Buddhist temples and many others. A shopping paradise There aren’t as many shopping options in any other city in the country. São Paulo has 66 shopping malls where consumers can find everything, commercial streets and strongholds of sophisticated shopping such as the Rua Oscar Freire region in Jardins. For contrast, there is a popular shopping area unequalled in the country – 25 de março and vicinity, where everything is sold, from fabric and jewelry to electronic products. There are 59 streets with specialized commerce, with innumerable stores, which side by side, offer 51 types of specific products such as Brás and Bom Retiro (clothing), Santa Ifigênia (computers, etc.) and São Caetano (brides). São Paulo Fashion Week Sophistication The city has a great number of options for those who can and want to pay for comfort, luxury and sophistication. There are design hotels and designer shops with recently launched collections. Oscar Freire is one of the ten most luxurious streets in the world, according to the ranking of Excellence Mystery Shopping International consultancy. The AAA world can be found in São Paulo. From jewels to imported cars, from designer clothes to cosmetics and beverages. From sophisticated restaurants with famous chefs to the courses of one of the sports preferred by the elite around the world – golf. And “partying” was born here São Paulo is for every ethnic group. Clubs with Latin rhythms, electronic music, rock, pop, Brazilian, etc. For listening and dancing, live or from the DJs pick-ups. This nocturnal effervescence can also be found in hundreds of bars, for flirting, dating, dancing or hanging out with friends. You can try the best Brazilian and worldwide beers with appetizers that are a must. There are places that specialize in Brazilian cachaça, from which the caipirinha is derived for an innumerable number of options and mixes. For those who like to take on the night, paulistanos have exported a term that is accepted all over Brazil: “balada,” which means excitement, partying and fun that starts at 11 p.m. and goes on all night. Hold your event in SP Worldwide capital of gastronomy CHARACTERISTICS OF SÃO PAULO Differentials Resistance Fashion and trends São Paulo is a trendsetter. One example of this is the city’s fashion, part of the worldwide scenario. Brazil has entered into the calendar of fashion shows that includes Paris, New York, London and Milan, with São Paulo Fashion Week, which sets the dates for launching the collections of designers from all over Brazil. Currently, twice a year, SPFW shows the trends in Brazilian fashion to the entire world. Unique tourist attractions The city’s tourist attractions total 12.5 thousand restaurants, 410 hotels, 257 movie theaters, 87 museums, 152 theaters and performance spaces, 41 popular celebrations, 66 shopping malls, 59 specialized shopping streets divided into 51 segments, 53 natural parks and green areas, 39 cultural centers, 137 libraries and 4 theme parks, to name just a few. © Photos: 1-André Stéfano 2-jefferson pancieri 11 Hold your event in SP WTC CHARACTERISTICS OF SÃO PAULO Differentials Resistance Bold architecture Since boldness and innovation are the city’s signature, this is also seen in architectural projects that blend in with the scenery, such as the São Paulo Art Museum (MASP) by Italian architect Lina Bo Bardi, the Copan curve by Oscar Niemeyer, the Hotel Unique and the Tomie Ohtake Institute, by Ruy Ohtake, or the beautiful and traditional Martinelli Building, in whose penthouse a veritable suspended mansion rises up, designed to be Martinelli’s own house. São Paulo also preserves buildings from the Colonial Brazil era, such as the Marquesa de Santos Manor House, the Sertanista House and the Bandeirante House. It is also worthwhile to see traditional architecture in the European style, in buildings such as the Pinacoteca (State Art Museum) – its design is by one of the most illustrious residents of the capital at the apex of his career, Ramos de Azevedo, who also designed the Municipal Theater and the Casa das Rosas on Av. Paulista. Well-being and relaxation São Paulo is work and opportunity, yes. But it is also where the best urban spas in Brazil can be found which, with their massages, baths and esthetic and therapeutic treatments, offer extraordinary sensations of relaxation and well-being. They are “peaceful islands” in environments that combine aromas, colors and sounds. For partying or for relaxing, São Paulo has it all. 12 Excellence in health The city has become an international icon in important areas of medicine such as the treatment of heart disease and cancer, © Photo: Spreading wtc among other highly complex fields, as well as having an extensive network of diagnostic services. Many have already discovered this and the number of people who visit the capital to take advantage of its excellent health centers is growing. Many use their business trips as an opportunity to bring their health up to snuff, or to take care of their appearance. After all, if Brazil is considered the major world hub for plastic surgery, having surpassed the United States, according to data from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, São Paulo is the main Brazilian center and a worldwide icon in this area. There are dozens of specialized medical clinics, a good part of them internationally recognized, that attract a large number of visitors who come to the capital exclusively to care for their appearance and esthetic. Beaches and mountains in one hour Other attractions can also be found around the São Paulo capital. At about 70 kilometers, or less than an hour by car, is the Santos beach, with one of the most important ports in Latin America. Next to it is Guarujá, a beach often frequented by paulistanos on weekends and holidays. The best known beaches are those in the municipality of São Sebastião, such as Maresias, as well as those of Ubatuba, such as Itamambuca. Ilhabela, a beautiful and well-preserved island, is a few minutes by raft from the center of São Sebastião. Another city full of charm is Campos do Jordão, in the mountains, where the attractions are its winter and its sophistication. Parties and exciting hot spots enliven the city in the winter, especially from June to August. to be b u sted Resistance? Still? S ome facts or myths about São Paulo may be cited as reasons not to hold events or bring groups to the city. Obviously, like any big city, São Paulo has problems. But not one of them can stop the visitor from making the most of what the city has to offer. Here are a few arguments to help overcome the myths. Is the city polluted? Pollution is actually a big problem for residents of large cities. But not for visitors. Has any tourist ever not gone to New York, Cairo or Santiago, which are among the most polluted cities in the world, because of the condition of their air? Besides this, if you’re worried about your health, São Paulo is the ideal place, because it’s the largest medical center in Latin America, with hospital complexes and internationally renowned professionals. Shouldn’t major cities have beaches? For those who think that being a major destination for incentives, leisure and entertainment means there have to be beaches, remember that Paris and Milan don’t have any. The best in the world of art and performances is found in the paulista capital. Shows with major international and national musical names, a variety of plays and acclaimed films. The city houses 257 movie theaters, 152 theaters, 39 cultural centers and 87 museum. Do you think it’s a “hard” city? São Paulo today is a city that seduces more and more the imagination of those who visit it. The occupancy levels of its hotels has surpassed 65% per year – an historic mark. It has been confirmed that culture is a major value to be added to business tourism. It’s not by chance that the paulista capital has become the 3rd main leisure destination in the country, according to the Institute of Economic Research Foundation (FIPE). Besides this, research done by Reader’s Digest Selections in 2006 of visitors to 35 major cities in the world and published in the British newspaper The Times, considered São Paulo the most courteous city in Latin America and the 5th most courteous in the world. Do the residents just work? Of course not. Remember that the best hubs of entertainment, gastronomy, culture and leisure are born in worldwide financial centers. The economic potential of large cities is also reflected in their investment in spaces to combat stress, such as theaters, shopping malls and even urban spas. The high purchasing power of the population attracts new things to the entertainment sector. If there is something new abroad, it arrives quickly in São Paulo. Is there a lot of traffic in the city? Heavy traffic is a characteristic of large metropolises. São Paulo has the best subway system in Brazil, which is also among the cleanest and safest in the world. With the subway it’s very easy to avoid traffic. It has stops at many of the main attractions in the city. The hotel complex of São Paulo, with nearly 50 thousand rooms, makes it possible for visitors to stay near their favorite attractions and interests. What about safety? In São Paulo, violence rates are higher in the outskirts of the city. According to the Seade Foundation (State Data Analysis System), the Consolação region, for example, reported only one murder in 2005. The region includes neighborhoods such as Higienópolis, which has one of the most sophisticated shopping malls in the city, and the Pacaembu, where the stadium of the same name is located. The rate is equal to an average of 1.96 murders per 100 thousand inhabitants, around the same number as Paris. Hold your event in SP M yths CHARACTERISTICS OF SÃO PAULO Differentials Resistance Is São Paulo too big? São Paulo’s 1,530 square kilometers is almost a world unto itself. But this doesn’t mean that visitors necessarily have to explore the whole city. On each trip, it’s possible to stay in a hotel near places of interest, and taking the metro helps to “shrink” the city. Do you think paulistanos are cold? A city that was formed by waves of foreign immigrants such as Italians, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabs and Japanese, as well as migrants from various regions of Brazil can’t be an unfriendly city. It is open to new residents and to tourists as well. It’s a city that has traditional celebrations of its various colonies and also has bars for its various ethnic groups and all styles of shops. São Paulo Turismo supports your event In partnership with the São Paulo Convention & Visitors Bureau, SPTuris supports the preparation of briefs on the city of São Paulo to solicit candidature as headquarters for national and international events, as well as helping to carry out site inspections. The official tourism agency of the city also provides an image bank, electronic maps, videos, promotional texts and a marketing e-mail template that can be used in creating various types of publicity (print or electronic) for personalized group events and programs. Additionally, SPTuris publicizes the event on the São Paulo City Calendar on the internet, if it is of interest to the promoter, and provides electronic tools with the contents of the Program São Paulo Stay Another Day, which is an incentive for prolonging the stay of business visitors in the city.

Pág. 19 15 GET TO KNOW SP ©1 history ACCESS Pateo do Collegio GASTRONOMY ART /CULTURE 16 h i s t o r y Piratininga became São Paulo: today the school is a metropolis T he Jesuit priests José de Anchieta and Manoel da Nóbrega climbed the “Serra do Mar”, in the ides of 1553, looking for a safe place to settle and indoctrinate the Indians. When they reached the plateau of Piratininga, they had found the ideal spot. It had “a cool and temperate climate, like Spain” and was “a very healthy land, fresh and with good waters.” On a small hill, on the banks of the Tamanduateí and Anhangabaú rivers, the religious men built a school. There, they celebrated a mass. This was on January 25th, 1554, a date which has come to mark the official founding of São Paulo. Nearly five centuries later, the settlement of Piratininga had become a city of 11 million inhabitants. The only thing remaining from those times is the foundation of the building made by the priests and Indians at the Pateo do Collegio. More than 157 years would pass before Piratininga would become a city and change its name. It was called São Paulo, a decision approved by the king of de Portugal, then the colonizer of Brazil. At that time, São Paulo was still just a starting point for the “bandeiras”, expeditions that cut through the interior of Brazil for the purpose of finding precious minerals and imprisoning Indians. In 1815, the city became the capital of the Province of São Paulo. Seven years later, it was the stage for the Cry of Independence, an episode in which the prince regent at the time, D. Pedro, declared that Brazil would no longer be a colony of Portugal. Today, the place where this occurred houses the Paulista Museum, also known as the Museum of Ipiranga. São Paulo became an important economic center only at the end of the 19th century, with the expansion of coffee cultivation. Immigrants arrived from the four corners of the world to work on the farms, and later in the city’s growing industrial park. Starting from the middle of the 20th century, migrants from various Brazilian locations also landed in the city to increase the work force. The recent arrivals imprinted their characteristics, which still remain in the city. São Paulo has neighborhoods where oriental, Italian and Northeastern traits are still present. Traditional celebrations and typical cuisine from various countries and Brazilian states are already cultural expressions absorbed by the city. São Paulo is not only a symbol of ethnic diversity and diversity of beliefs, but also of sexual orientations and urban tribes. Still today, the São Paulo capital welcomes with open arms people from all parts of the country and the world. Copan and Itália buildings stand out in the downtown N A C C E S S W Privileged Location S ão Paulo is the best arrival point in Brazil for visitors from any part of the world or the country. The city has nearly 500 flights daily, which are linked to 75 national and international locations. All the main airports in Brazil and at least 23 countries have direct flights to the São Paulo capital. Greater São Paulo has three airports, two of them international: Congonhas, in the South Side, and Guarulhos, located in the neighboring city of the same name. São Paulo has the largest fleet of helicopters in Latin America, which guarantees that renting and finding locations to land this type of aircraft is easy in the city. Urban air traffic safety is guaranteed by a control system, the only one of its type in the world. And it’s not only air access that makes São Paulo a privileged location. The city also has three intercity bus terminals. The main one, Tietê, has lines serving all of Brazil and also serves countries in the South Cone such as Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. São Paulo also has ten highways linking the city to the coast, the interior of the state and other neighboring states. The city offers an efficient collective and urban transportation system. There are 56 subway stations, 19 bus terminals, 10 thousand city buses and 32 thousand taxis. Mild temperature São Paulo’s climate is altitude tropical, characterized by an average yearly temperature of between 19º C (66 F.) and 27º C.(80 F.). In the summer, days can start out sunny and end with rain. In the fall, the temperature is mild, with an average of 23ºC (73 F.).

The city guarantees unforgettable gastronomic experiences to its visitors. The subject is taken very seriously by paulistanos, who recognize with pride that its food sector is one of the city’s tourism attractions. There are options for all tastes and budgets. São Paulo doesn’t have one typical dish, but various. Variety is essential. There are restaurants with renowned chefs, with exotic and traditional and vegetarian cuisine, and fast food. After all, the city was established by immigrants from various places on the planet and also has the contributions of migrants from the four corners of the country. There are more than 50 different types of cuisine. There are Far Eastern restaurants, such as those with Korean, Chinese and Japanese cuisine, traditional ones, such as French and Italian, and even exotic ones, such as those with Mongolian specialties. And, among the 12,500 restaurants spread out across the city, there are options from haute cuisine to quick dishes. But it’s not only the bars and restaurants that carry on the tradition. There are catering services and buffets as well, which are surprising in terms of their flexibility and variety, with very special dinners, cocktail parties for more than a thousand people and special coffee breaks. In terms of gastronomy, São Paulo leaves nothing to be desired in any matter, mainly in the quality of services provided. Pizza, despite being of Italian origin, is an essential dish on the paulistano menu. This is because the city’s pizza chefs have re-interpreted the dish. There are more pizzerias in the city than in all of Italy. In São Paulo people eat pizza with thin or thick crust, with filling in the crust edges, with various toppings, square pizza, pizza by the meter, expensive and inexpensive pizzas. Another typical dish is sushi. This Japanese dish has become a favorite of paulistanos. The rice balls are served in the traditional way, a la carte or in rodizio format: for a fixed price, you can eat as much as you want. And not just sushi: there are also other specialties in the more than 500 Japanese restaurants in greater São Paulo. But paulistanos don’t live just on Argentinean parrillas (barbecue), Arabic esfihas (turnovers), Spanish paellas, Mexican tacos and German eisnbeins. Cuisine from every corner of Brazil is also found in São Paulo. Whether it’s a Bahaian acarajé (bean-shrimp croquette) or a Gaucho barbecue, typical Brazilian gastronomy has a guaranteed place. If the gastronomical experience is essential to get to know a city, this is even more the case with São Paulo. Here, quality, competitive prices and top-of-the-line services join hands. Diversity and variety are the trademarks of cultural programming S ão Paulo is home to the most important cultural events in the country. There are film festivals, shows, fashion runway shows and exhibitions. In addition to large sized events, the city’s ongoing cultural scenario is exhilarating. In the more than 250 movie theaters, 150 theaters and performance spaces, 87 museums as well as various cultural centers, there is varied programming all year long.
