São Paulo is a national reference in history, business, culture, and tourism. Due to internal migration from other states and immigration from several countries in its early days, São Paulo is the most cosmopolitan city in Brazil.
São Paulo, colloquially known as Sampa, is one of these cities that never sleep. There is always something going on. From plays and cultural exhibits to bars and restaurants that are open at all hours of the day and night, visitors have no problem finding something to do. The city, which has the same name as the state, has countless movie theaters, cultural centers, museums, historic buildings, parks, theaters, and art galleries.
Nightlife in São Paulo is frenetic, creative, and democratic. It’s a genuine portrait of the city, which has already been described by a CNN columnist as one of the ten best places in the world for parties, fun, and nightlife. With its high-end international restaurants and sophisticated regional dishes by renowned Brazilian chefs, the city is also known as the Latin American capital of fine cuisine.
There are countless cultural attractions in the city. A mandatory stop is the São Paulo Art Museum (MASP), added to the National Heritage List by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN). The Museum is currently the most important art museum in the Southern Hemisphere, with a collection that contains approximately 10,000 pieces, including African, American, Asian, Brazilian, and European Art. Another breathtaking place in the city is the São Paulo Picture Gallery (Pinacoteca de São Paulo), a rich visual arts museum.
