Museum

Art museum
The Pinacoteca de São Paulo stands as a testament to Brazil's rich artistic heritage, making it one of the country's oldest and most significant art museums. Nestled in a stunning neoclassical structure originally designed for the School of Arts and Crafts, this museum showcases an impressive collection that ranges from 19th-century Brazilian paintings and sculptures to contemporary works. Its history is intertwined with various historical events, including conflicts in the early 20th century, which adds depth to its narrative.
Beautiful art museum! Museum has 3 levels, there is also a balcony on the front and back of the building on the 3rd level that has a nice view of the street and in the back a nice view of the park. I would make sure that if you are outside in the street don’t stay for long or take your phone out at all. There are many many homeless people in the area that steal from people regularly.
Brandon H — Google review
Definitely worth paying R30 for this museum as it has so many exhibitions and they were all amazing! The exhibitions were also in English and made it so much easier for us to enjoy! The ticket also includes the contemporary art in another building. We ended up spending over 2 hours here but could’ve easily spend half a day here. Highly recommend this to everyone!
James P — Google review
I enjoyed this art museum. It has a nice mix of old art and contemporary art. The only artist I actually knew about before visiting is a Rodin statue. But it was fun to learn more about Brazilian artists. I was hoping to visit some other art museums but all the other museums were closed on Monday...But the Pinacoteca was open! They get an extra star just for being open on the day I was in town. The gardens around the museum are beautiful and peaceful. But the restaurant had a long line so I did not get to eat there.

Paul C — Google review
One of the most beautiful museums I've been to. They have a great selection of pieces, with differing mediums, the space is clean and comfortable. The main entry goes thru a sunroom with super high glass ceilings, currently showing pieces done with wood, so you can smell the sap being warned by the sun. The staff was friendly and kind, very helpful and attentive. Bathrooms were clean. The pieces being showcased are very well selected, I think. And the infrastructure is beautiful.

Not tourist friendly. Staff can’t speak any word English. On the site there is a price at 40, but on arrival they double it. When we wanted to order online the website did not work. Then the cashier Said we could not enter because it will rain soon. After multiple times asking we could go in, but lost apxm one hour at entrance! Locker costs 25Rs

We went to stay two nights and left after lunch on the first day. The place looks nothing like the photos on the website. It was dirty, blankets from last century, food served was dry and very little variety. The way it was served was with a lack of interest as was the general feeling of all the park. A real pity for our 10 year olds birthday surprise
Christopher M — Google review
The food seemed reasonable to me. Espatinhos, mini pizzas, and pastéis were all R$7 and were as good quality as you would find in any Festa Junina. The pastel was even big. The baru was particularly good. The park was very cute. It was obvious they paid attention to the small details. The rides were a lot of fun, especially the Nitro-x and the other ride right next to it (that one was maybe even better!) We spent about 7 hours there and didn't even do everything. It could be worth it to stay the night at the Posada and spend the whole weekend there.

Mercado Municipal de São Paulo

Mentioned on

Market
Shopping
The Mercado Municipal Paulistano, also known as Mercadao, is a historic market located in the old city center of Centro. Built in the 1930s, this magnificent market hall features skylights and stained-glass windows and is bustling with vendors offering rare fruits, vegetables, dairy produce, meat, fish, and more.
Interesting experience and many options to try and choose from. Just know that when they offer you samples, you will end up buying stuff and they don’t give you the price until they already wrapped and bagged things. You’ll end up paying 60 USD for 4 piece of fruit, which you can find in typical stores for 10 dollars.
Parihan R — Google review
This is a well-organized and clean market that offers a wide range of goods—from preserved meats, fresh fish, and spices to nuts and other local products. While it seems to have become more of a tourist attraction than a place locals frequent for daily shopping, it’s still worth a visit. The second floor has sit-down restaurants, making it a good spot to take a break and enjoy a proper meal. Prices are reasonable overall. One of the highlights here is the famous mortadella sandwich—a must-try if you’re visiting for the first time. Overall, a nice place to explore local flavors and pick up a few souvenirs or snacks. Just expect a more tourist-oriented vibe.
Andrew G — Google review
Landed in São Paulo after a red eye so we needed to stay awake so we could sleep tonight…dropped off bags, showered, and headed to the market, one of my absolute favorite places in SP! Our driver took great care of us as he guided us to a friend working a fruit stall where we ate our fill in samples of some of the best tasting fruit you’ll ever try…Dragon Fruit, Passion Fruit, Yellow Avocado, Jack Fruit, Strawberries wrapped in dates, zero filter on that 🍊orange slice it was amazing! Got some dehydrated provolone discs and cubes of Parmesan…could spend hours in this market…a must stop when you come up São Paulo 🙌🏽
Eugene J — Google review
An incredible place to discover local and international exotic fruits and vegetables, meat vendors, pubs, bars, restaurants and much much more. A lively and bustling vibe. The only precaution, rather don't walk to this destination. Take a bus, taxi or Uber which takes you directly to this market.
Ele V — Google review
We came here close to the closing time but we still manage to grant our sandwich. The main reason we came to this market was to try this sandwich and it did not disappoint. The market itself has a lot of stalls, with nuts, fish, fruit, cheese and charcuterie and places to sit down and eat and drink. It's a nice stop if you are in the area.
Ana C — Google review
Not quite authentic. Lots of replication of stalls and restaurants. But it was a great mix of fruit, meats, seafood, wine bars, and restaurants. It's very clean and has a great energy. Maybe avoid the folks offering free samples but do try the cod pastel and the mortadela sandwiches. It just sit down for a glass of wine.
Gabriel B — Google review
Amazing place to shop for meat, cheese, olives, peanuts, sweets, fruit and also includes large restaurants that you can get the Mortadella Sandwich. Boca’s was the best place for Pastels (they actually fill them full and are overflowing with meat. The Maine sandwich shop (called Maine) was the best for Mortadellas. Be aware that the sales in this market are very aggressive and pushy. They will practically cut fruit and put it in your mouth as samples. The restaurants will practically hold your hand to seat you so that you order food. Didn’t bother me and all you need to do is stand your ground. One American to another 🇺🇸 😉
Sammy S — Google review
Be careful! The place is beautiful and historic, but the fruit vendors take advantage of tourists. I was asking about the price of the fruit, they gave me several to try, and then they charged me a lot of money for just a few pieces. Since they were "local" fruits, I thought the price would be a bit more expensive, but it turned out they were ripping people off. DON'T TRUST THEM. It was a horrible experience to not feel safe. I wasn't bargaining or denying to pay the correct price and yet they took advantage. My worst experience in SP.

Paulista: The Heartbeat of São Paulo The most famous avenue in São Paulo vibrant, lively, and full of energy all day long. It’s lined with offices, cafés, museums, and street performers. Landmarks like MASP, Japan House, and Casa das Rosas are must-sees. On Sundays, the avenue closes to traffic and turns into a street festival of music, dance, and art. Even on weekdays, it never loses its rhythm. Between the tall buildings, you’ll also notice people living in tents a quiet reminder of the city’s social contrasts.

Largest park in the city, it has nice roads for running and walking along with bicycle lines. It has a lake with River with plenty of grass areas to just sit and relax. We enjoyed it in a sunny day on Sunday and lots of people go to exercise and work out. Lots of local people just enjoying with their families Park has plenty of small stores to get snacks, water and natural coconut water which is great, however did not see a larger restaurant to get meals, just mobile spots for quick grab and go. There are public bathroom but can get crowded Green areas and well maintained although they could be better, trees are mostly tropical. There is a museum, planetary and Japanese site but did not go to those.

This park is right in the center of the city—almost like São Paulo’s own version of New York’s Central Park. It’s a very large green area with beautiful walking paths, lakes, cafés, and several museums. There are always many people around enjoying the space: jogging, biking, relaxing, or having picnics. We loved the atmosphere and how lively yet peaceful it felt. A perfect spot to spend time outdoors in the heart of the city.

I was able to visit the temple last Sunday with friends, and I must say that it was such a stellar place! It is not hard to navigate, everything can be found rather easily. The lake they have there is lovely, having fish and turtles that were easy to see. We saw some colourful birds, and the bridge over the lake was a cool feature. There are vivid, colourful landscapes to be seen. The statues remind you that you are not in an ordinary place. The temple itself and its surroundings are nothing like the architecture we see in this country, so it draws your eyes to the roofs, walls, doors, finishings and more. There were people ready to provide useful information. There was some sort of celebration going on, and it was interesting to see. This is definitely a great place to visit even if you are not a religious individual, as the temple is absolutely stunning!

(Translated by Google) Did you know? 1 - On streets with little shade, the asphalt wears out up to 30% more due to the sun's rays. 2 - Tree-lined streets require less artificial cooling, which reduces electricity costs. 3 - By planting only native species from the Atlantic Forest, the city gains more flowering trees, helping to attract more birds. 4 - The city government reuses all pruning material to produce its own fertilizer through composting. This is used in gardens, squares and parks, and is rich in all the nutrients essential for the health of plants. There are more than 5 km of gardens on the waterfront of the city of Santos. It is the largest continuous garden in the world. Always well-kept, with several trees, shrubs and a wide variety of flowers. The waterfront gardens are the city's postcard. In the gardens, you can also find several busts and monuments that make up the history of Santos and the world. Even in winter, with the leaves lying on the ground, while the cleaning battalion is in action to remove all the leaves from the beautiful trees that provide wonderful shade. The gardens are beautiful. Take the opportunity to see several birds singing and flying in the city's beautiful gardens. The Baixada Santista region has more than 270 species of birds. On the waterfront, you will find images of 100 species of birds in the gardens. You can see them all over the city, in the canals, on the streets, in the Orchid Gardens, in the Botanical Garden, etc., but now you can also learn more about these creatures that bring us so much joy. Photographer and Biologist Leonardo Casadei has created a Field Guide - Birds of the Atlantic Forest Coast, which you can purchase on Instagram or Facebook or simply get the information for free. New trees are always being planted throughout the city of Santos. On my YouTube channel, I have several videos of Santos @anibalcarrion5913 (Original) Você sabia? 1 - Em ruas onde há pouco sombreamento , ocorre um desgaste até 30 % maior do asfalto por causa dos raios solares. 2 - Ruas arborizadas têm menor necessidade de refrigeração artificial, o que reduz o gasto com energia elétrica. 3 - Ao plantar apenas espécies nativas da Mata Atlântica, a cidade ganha árvores mais floridas, ajudando a atrair mais pássaros. 4 - A prefeitura reaproveita todo o material da poda para produzir o seu próprio adubo por meio da compostagem. Ele é utilizado nos jardins, praças e parques, sendo rico em todos os nutrientes essenciais para a saúde dos vegetais. São mais de 5 km de jardins na orla da cidade de Santos. É o maior jardim contínuo do mundo. Sempre bem cuidado, com diversas árvores, arbustos e uma grande variedade de flores. Os jardins da orla é o cartão postal da cidade. Nos jardins também você pode encontrar vários bustos e monumentos que fazem a historia santista e mundial. Mesmo no inverno, com as folhas caídas no chão, enquanto o batalhão da limpeza está em ação para retirar todas as folhas das lindas árvores que dão uma sobra maravilhosa. Os jardins são lindos. Aproveite para ver diversos pássaros a cantar e voar no lindo jardim da cidade. A região da Baixada Santista, tem mais de 270 espécies de pássaros. Na orla, você vai encontrar imagens de 100 espécies de aves nos jardins. Você pode ver por toda a Cidade, nos canais, nas ruas, no Orquidários, no Jardim Botânico, enfim, mas agora você pode também saber mais sobre estes seres que nos trazem tantas alegrias.

PETAR - Alto Ribeira State and Tourist Park is a 357-square-kilometer state park located in the Atlantic forest, boasting over 350 caves, waterfalls, and rivers. It is often referred to as Brazil's 'Cave Capital' due to its 450 cataloged caves. The park features four well-equipped visitor centers providing information on cave trips, guides, and campgrounds.
Park is breathtaking, astonishingly lush and magical. Hardly find words to describe it! More than 300 caves and waterfalls are everywhere, people are also really friendly. No doubt it is a international travelers hotspot!

This natural park can offer you a great opportunity to have a deep contact with the nature in different ways! Here you can enjoy a lot of caves with different styles and difficulties, hiking all day long over different directions, even the river in a calm place become a natural pool. For entrance, you should pay a small fee (20 Brazilian Reais, approximately 4 dollars - Sep 2022), and you can free parking in the entrance area. Important: to access the caves, you need hire an official guide from this region to go together to you and/or your group

It is a beautiful place. However, one has to have a guide, they tend to serve you primitive attractions (like listening to music in cave) and enforce a number of regulations that neither increase safety nor pleasure (like crossing the river wearing shoes and walking later in wet shoes). Really unpleasent experience. I recommend finding another park to explore Mata Arlantica.
Piotr W — Google review
The caves here are phenomenal and merit more foreign visitors. Some of the caves are huge, others smaller. One is actually a tunnel exiting elsewhere from where there is a lovely 2km trek back. You need to hire an accredited guide beforehand to go with you, or else you will be turned away (as I saw with another car when we arrived). And believe me - you need a guide for your own safety as the caves extend hundreds of meters inside and you'd be in complete darkness if it were not for the guide's knowledge and our helmet torches (supplied by the guide tour agency). My guide was great, Luis from Monotours, with whom I spoke Portuguese. I also used my mobile/cell phone flashlight to better illuminate the stones we often stepped or scrambled over.

Museu Oscar Niemeyer, also known as the "Eyes Museum," is a futuristic architectural marvel designed by renowned Brazilian architect Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho. Opened in 2002, it is the largest museum in Latin America and features 12 rooms showcasing contemporary art, design, and architecture. The building itself resembles a giant eye and is perched on a massive yellow pillar, creating an awe-inspiring sight for visitors.
Amazing museum dedicated to one of the most famous architects you will ever come across in Brazil. The museum is very well done and has sufficient reading material as well as displays. Some of the art is interactive and some of it is historical artifacts. There is a lot of modern art and some art from people from Curitiba. The parts of the museum that showcase Niemeyer’s accomplishments are particularly cool, especially if you’ve traveled around and seen some of his works.

Amusement park
Beto Carrero World is the largest theme park in Latin America, located in Penha. It offers a mix of thrilling entertainment with themed thrill rides, live cabaret shows, and a zoo. The park is known for its variety of attractions suitable for the whole family. Additionally, Penha boasts beautiful beaches and delicious seafood cuisine, making it an ideal destination for a fun-filled vacation.
A great place for a vacation. Beto Carrero stands out to me because this is one of the first amusement parks that I visited outside my home country. The park has a wide variety of food to choose from though I won't recommend having them if you are in there for rides which gets crazy. I did the following rides, Spin: Perhaps one of the easiest rides. I enjoyed it and maybe you would too. Roller Coaster: This one was crazy. I could barely keep my eyes open throughout the ride though my girlfriend enjoyed the ride. She wants to go for it again tomorrow. Madagascar circus: This was brilliant. I loved it, my girlfriend loved it, the kids loved it and everyone loved it. Though I didn't understand Portuguese, I still could make out what was going on in the circus. River adventure: This made me the happiest because I was relaxed throughout the ride and thankfully it didn't try to kill me. Overall, I am very content with the adventure park. It is beautifully decorated with colours and has those majestic rides that give you an instant adrenaline rush. I am planning to go back tomorrow again to secure the rides I missed on Day 1. I will post another review shortly.

As a theme park junkie, BCW provides a magical atmosphere for adrenaline seekers and family outings! The Fire Whip is a best in class inverted coaster and the Madagascar river boat is a never ending water maze of fun. You’ll enjoy the Beto Carrero theme through the entire park - plus it’s clean, and the ride lines weren’t too long (we visited on a Monday). The best part is that the staff were friendly and all aspects were firing on all cylinders - all rides and food open! Whip it good!
Jordan Y — Google review
It is really nice place to visit with your kids and let your inner child go crazy with them. Somedays It is full occupied with the school kids trips. The staff need to be on top of crowd management during these busy times with school trips. Better rent stroller ( for kids) or scooter for old people or for yourself in case can't walk enough ( it's huge place to walk around for the shows and attractions). Advice you can rent items outside instead of inside the parque as the prices are way higher
Namaste F — Google review
Amazing park with tons to do for every age and taste! The only catch is: I recommend buying ONLINE AHEAD of time, as the day they wanted to charge us 3x the price but after letting them know we’d not pay that, the manager checked and they were able to give us a discount but it still cost twice as much. Overall great day between shows and rides, ending with fireworks and every one back. Would go back and get tickets/food choices prior to arriving. Ps. Parking is paid extra and they do allow you to enter with backpacks and water ;)
Thuany O — Google review
If I could go back in time, I’d never step foot in this park again. We’re not guests there we’re walking wallets. You guys keep milking us like cows, trying to squeeze every last penny out of us, and we would pay if we were happy , but we were on 100% disappointment . In these photos, you can see a screenshot showing the duration of one of the rides. We waited 45 minutes “Fast Pass” To go for a 40 seconds ride , and you call this “entertainment.” ?? The ride ended before I could even blink, and before you catch your breath, the employee is already rushing you out so the next 600 guests can be pushed in. Absolute garbage. In one of the videos, you can actually see people fighting, angry, shouting, completely frustrated. And that’s where the whole idea of an amusement park disappears. People shouldn’t be angry in a place meant for joy. The woman in that video didn’t even have what it called “Fast Pass” she’d been waiting for three hours. To get a ride for her kids, Meanwhile, your teenage employees move slowly, and couldn’t care less about the people. My advice to the management: Set a limit for yourselves. All this chaos happens because you accept as many guests as you can possibly fit , just to squeeze out a few more millions in the profit margin . Have some decency and put a cap, especially during high season, so people can actually enjoy and leave happy. And please, stop hiring only teenagers. Hire mature, trained adults who can actually handle problems when they arise. My advice to visitors: Avoid this place during high season. If you must go, try March or April , it might be slightly better. Be warned: everything inside is overpriced. Food, drinks, snacks , everything. Popcorn costs +R$30, a basic meal is R$50+, and there are endless extra fees. Don’t think buying the ticket is all you’ll spend , for two adults, expect at least R$300 for entry, another R$200 for the “Fast Pass,” plus 200 drinks and water. In general I won’t come back there again.

Praia das Laranjeiras

Beach
Nature & Parks
Praia das Laranjeiras is a popular beach in Balneario Camboriu, offering clear waters and a range of water sports activities. The area boasts nearby restaurants and a pier, making it convenient for visitors to enjoy the beach and its surroundings. Accessible via the thrilling cable ride from Uniprais Park, this crescent-shaped paradise provides a tranquil setting for sunbathing and swimming.
I don't need to tell you this beach is amazing. But I do recommend visiting between sept- nov and from about april to Jun. The crowds in the summer are miserable. You will find some decent warm days in the winter to enjoy the beach as well. Wonderful restaurants and shops around too.

The teleférico ticket gets you to the top of the park, where you can stay and enjoy the trails in the Atlantic Forest or enjoy snacks or meals before continuing down to the beach of Laranjeiras where there are many restaurants and beautiful calm waves. Chairs and umbrellas are for rent if you wish to stay awhile. The ticket also gets you back where you can stay at the top for more time or continue on back to Balneário Camboriú. We started our voyage at around 10:00 and got back by 1:00.

Cristo Luz

Mentioned on 
29 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
Cristo Luz is a 33-meter-tall monument located in Balneario Camboriu, resembling the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro but with unique features such as Jesus wearing a broad-brimmed hat. At night, the statue is illuminated with colorful lights that change periodically, casting a spotlight on the city.
We arrived just a bit after 4:00PM when it opened to have a magnificent view of the city and the Christ statue up close. We stuck around and had a few drinks while we waited for the illumination, first the face at 6:30 and then the body alternating among all of the colors at 7:00. It was a lovely evening. There is a restaurant there also but we went elsewhere.

Cristo Luz was beautiful we were here in family. It has a restorant, an event area with live shows, outside Cristo has a lightshows and couple viewpoints to the city, with very stuning views specially by night. We made a Youtube video in our channel @LuchitoYVale

Cristo Luz is one of the most iconic attractions in Balneário Camboriú and absolutely worth visiting! The view from the top is spectacular you can see the entire city, the beach, and the coastline lit up at night, which makes it a truly unforgettable experience. The statue itself is beautiful, especially when illuminated with different colors that change throughout the evening, creating a magical atmosphere. The place is well maintained, organized, and easy to reach. There’s also a restaurant and a viewing area where you can relax, take photos, and enjoy the scenery. The staff is friendly and everything feels very safe and welcoming. Visiting at sunset or after dark is the best time the combination of the lights, music, and panoramic views is breathtaking. It’s definitely one of those must-see attractions that capture the charm and energy of Balneário Camboriú. Highly recommended for tourists and locals

Great view, easy to access, free parking with very quick shuttle bus to the top. Not much walking required for elderly and easy access with pram except for very top of Cristo. I went early and there was hardly anyone there but I think later on there's more of a party vibe happening and the restaurants open. Worth visiting as a tourist.

A nice place to visit and see a beautiful view from both cities, Camboriú and Balneário Camboriú. However, you have to pay to access this place. The parking lot is good - you won't have any problems with it.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo Pomerode is a conservation-focused zoo that houses approximately 220 species of native and exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles. Visitors can purchase entrance tickets for an intimate experience with the well-cared-for animals. The zoo offers a diverse range of animals from South America and Brazil, providing a unique opportunity to see species not commonly found elsewhere. The lush surroundings and friendly staff contribute to a perfect zoo experience.
I would definitely go again! The place is clean, the animals are taken well cared; you can see that by the size of the places where they are kept and we were able to see the workers feeding, cleaning... I would suggest going later in the afternoon or early morning because of the hot weather.

We visited here in July 2023, it was fantastic. The animals looked happy and healthy. You get a very intimate experience and view of them all. I got to see a few animals from South America and Brazil that I hadn't seen before, or knew existed. There are lots of lovely trees around the zoo itself, the staff were exceptionally kind and friendly. A perfect zoo experience! I was also offered a teacher's discount (I am a school teacher in New Zealand), if I provided proof/ID, so educators - be sure to bring your ID with you!

Vila Germânica Park

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Beer hall
Vila Germânica Park is a Bavarian-style village featuring half-timbered buildings housing shops and eateries, including the renowned Bier Vila. The park hosts the city's most traditional festival, Oktoberfest, offering a chance to savor regional cuisine and experience the largest concentration of German-style buildings, along with shops, restaurants, and breweries. Additionally, during Christmas in Blumenau, the park becomes part of a festive program with illuminated streets and outdoor Christmas displays.
"Oktoberfest Blumenau is an incredible celebration of culture and tradition! The atmosphere is vibrant, with lively music, fantastic parades, and authentic German food and beer. The attention to detail in the costumes and decorations really adds to the experience. It's well-organized, and despite the large crowds, everything runs smoothly. Whether you're there for the music, the beer, or just to soak up the energy, it’s a festival that should not be missed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Germany in Brazil!"

We went for Oktoberfest so was great to visit. Well set up and decorated. Like a little German village dull of shops as well as the large hall where the live bands and dancing was held. Extremely busy on the Saturday, hard to walk and waited in line for food, beer or toilet for at least 20 minutes. Friday was better as less people. You can purchase the ticket across the road for the Oktoberfest before entering. Full german costume gets you half price entry. Food was average.

Nick D — Google review
The Americas have a completely wrong idea as to what makes a city livable. This is a place that boasts a sandy beach but waves that make swimming unfeasible. Proof of that is that 90% of the beachgoers are lying or sitting on the beach, but very few venture to go inside the sea and even fewer bother to swim. Add to that the mostly cloudy skies and the ever-present rain, and you've got the picture. Furthermore, there are no cafés to speak of as coffee culture in these parts of the world is practically nonexistent, and the restaurants are nothing to brag about. Finally ,the absence of any other form of entertainment makes this place an absolute tedium. Complete waste of my money. Give me the Mediterranean any time!
