Colorful Brazil, that's true - but very often it is also called "Impassable Brazil". Especially in Brazilian cities like São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, it is often difficult to make your way without support.
While the sights in Rio de Janeiro are still well known, you have to take a closer look in São Paulo. We have given you a short ranking of what awaits you in this city at second glance best parks and Shopping centers, the pulsating heart of Brazilian everyday life.
City map digital or in print?
If you are planning your stay in São Paulo or walking around the place, you will need good maps, ideally with the sights marked. Of course there are a variety of apps for iOS and Android, which can also be used offline. But somehow this doesn't capture the entire overview. In addition, you are constantly busy facing the sunlight to see anything and then the battery runs out...
That's why we still find an old fashioned map on paper (the trees forgive us) as the best equipment.

Such a card is in the City tourist information available in critical locations. But finding these in São Paulo is not always easy. Most hotels offer free demolition plans at reception. But what if I want to inquire before arrival?
