I truly had a memorable day here, filled with joy and discovery. The blend of sport, leisure, and art offered a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me feel nice. Don't miss the Biennale; it's a cool experience. Take a leisurely jog among the locals and relax by sipping fresh coconut milk straight from its shell—simple moments that can bring so much joy.
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.
It’s an absolute pleasure to walk in this park but keep in mind it’s huge. Plenty of cafes and shops to buy a fresh coconut or any other drinks, lots of bench’s to sit and relax or just watch people performing different instruments in the nature. I saw a lot of families spending time here with kids or having a meal. Definetly worth walking around

It represents a unique blend of green space and urban cultural life in the heart of São Paulo.
I have to say this is one of the best parks I've ever been to. From coconut water stands, to acai spots, and great running tracks. A great place for grounding in a concrete jungle.
Beautiful park with plenty to do. There are vendors selling coconuts everywhere, so it’s the perfect drink to enjoy while taking in the nature. Afro-Brazil Museum and Japan Pavilion are worth visiting. I felt perfectly safe walking around the park alone during the daytime.
It's a lovely and very big park. It's a must if you're visiting Sao Paulo, where you can jogging have a walk a picnic or visiting one of the lovely museums in the park. There's a lot to do here. It's a green gem in a very busy and industrial city.

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. Take a day to walk, listen, and observe. To understand São Paulo, start with Paulista. 🌿#PaulistaAvenue #SãoPaulo #TravelBrazil
Nice place to go and walk, shop or find a place to ir in São Paulo
A place of social live, specially on Sundays, then closed for cars and full of people. See and be taken notice off. No doubt on days with events. But here every Sunday or even every day is day of events. Don't miss MASP and Parque Trianon.
Alive and busy street with lot of high end shops
Super excellent walk it reminds me of the magnificent mile our Michigan Avenue in Chicago a little bit not full on just you know their variation of it here
One of São Paulo's most iconic and bustling streets, lined with impressive skyscrapers that house major banks, corporations, shops, and shopping centers. It is also home to MASP, the renowned Museum of Art with its distinctive architecture. On Sundays, the street comes alive with markets and countless stalls selling a variety of goods. Always lively and full of energy, this is a must-visit destination!

Slide 1 of 8
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.
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.
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 🙌🏽
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.
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.
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.
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 🇺🇸 😉
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.

Longtime museum featuring 19th-century Brazilian painting & sculpture, plus educational programs.
Slide 1 of 8
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.
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!
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.
I loved this gallery. The exhibits are diverse, well curated, and educational for those new to Brazilian artists. There’s a cafe and shop worthy of stops, too. Highly recommend!
Amaizing! The place is huge, recomend to spend several hours admiring all the art pieces. Very close to metro station, wakable distance
My favourite art museum in Sao Paulo! It's huge as well, reserve at least 2 hours to visit. The expositions change constantly, so it's always worth it to visit.
This is a fascinating house with many rooms of art by different artists. The ladscaping breathtaking and the day i was there live music and artistic acts. Right across the street from the famous Luz station
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.

Slide 1 of 8
The tour around the museum is short, bit it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a football fan. The history is quite something and there's a souvenir shop on the spot.
Great museum about all aspects of the sport, in all its varieties and historical significances. I think it's worth the visit even for people who don't particularly like the sport in itself. The museum explains the particular Brazilian culture of the football in the bairros. Women's football is also talked about a lot. At the end of the museum, you can make some attempts to score goals yourself. The store on the side is also very varied!
A really good football museum, but be aware that a lot of things aren't translated into English. It's also sustainable for kids so if you have a family you can have for sure a nice interactive experience. I gave 4/5 stars because the museum don't offer english translation and it could be crowded of children. But it's still really interesting and a really good set up.
The museum is an interesting place to visit for a few hours. There’s not much written in English, but you can download an audio guide using their free WiFi. Clearly it was great to learn how football was brought to the country by an English man! The exhibits are well constructed and informative. We also got lucky and watched a little football in the stadium that the museum sits in.
I went there twice, and both times I was not disappointed. When I went with my father he was really happy to have gone. Lots of things to see, the evolution of the game, the cleats, the ball, history of all of the clubs in Brazil. Cool activities to try. Plus you can purchase any jersey of any team you like and personalize the jersey. Fun thing to remember the visit.
Great place to visit if you like football & would like to learn about the history of the sport in Brazil. The museum has interactive games, videos & clips of fantastic moments of football. It’s worth a visit.
A cool experience. Lucky for us the day we visited it was free entry so can’t complain at all
It is an interesting museum about Brazilian football and worth visiting if you are a football fan.
Sé Metropolitan Cathedral

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Massive 20th-century cathedral with soaring gothic-style architecture & a Renaissance-style dome.
Slide 1 of 8
The Cathedral of was first started in 1589 in São Paulo Village. It has been demolished and rebuilt several times over the centuries. The current Cathedral was started in 1913 and completed in 1967. It's built with rare marble, granite, wood and stained glass. It has a dome shape entrance with a height of 92 meters. Better to visit with a guide.
It’s an impressive and beautiful landmark, worth visiting for its architecture and history. I recommend going with a local if possible as the surrounding area has a large homeless presence and I was approached by one person. That said, there was a visible police presence with about four police cars right in front of the cathedral which made me feel safer during the visit.
Sé Metropolitan Cathedral is definitely a spot worth checking out for anyone who loves to travel and explore historical landmarks. The front of the church is absolutely beautiful, it’s the kind of architecture that makes you pause and admire, especially if you're into photographing iconic places. It’s a must-visit for tourists and travel enthusiasts alike. That said, there are a couple of things that could really elevate the experience. The exterior colors have faded over time and the building would benefit from some maintenance to bring back its original charm. Inside, I found the lighting to be quite dim, which took away from the grandeur of the interior space. Aside from those issues, the rest of the experience is decent. If you’re in São Paulo and have an interest in churches or historical sites, it’s still worth a visit.
The cathedral itself is great, but there are a lot of homeless people around it. You should be mindful of the surroundings. The entrance to thr cathedral is free, which is also great.
The São Paulo Metropolitan Cathedral, also known as Catedral da Sé, is located right in the city center of São Paulo. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, it recently underwent significant restoration to preserve its stunning neo-Gothic architecture. We just walked by and spent a few minutes inside, and the interior is truly majestic—full of intricate details and beautiful stained glass windows. From a distance, the cathedral’s twin spires and large dome make for a magnificent sight. Entry is free, and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby.
An impressive cathedral with stunning design and artwork. When I visited on a Sunday, entry was free. There were plenty of police around for security, but the atmosphere still felt calm and relaxed.
Magnificent one of the most impressive cathedrals l have seen. The columns rival that of Westminster cathedral in London.
A neo-Gothic masterpiece in the heart of the city! This stunning cathedral boasts towering spires, intricate stained glass, and a massive organ. The crypt holds historic relics, and the plaza outside buzzes with street life. Free entry, but watch for pickpockets. A must-see for architecture and history lovers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

Iconic building housing one of Latin America's most important collections of renowned art.
Slide 1 of 8
The Museum of São Paulo is a great place to spend a few hours if you enjoy history and culture. The exhibits cover many aspects of Brazil’s past and present, but the highlight for me was the art on the second floor focused on racism. It is powerful, emotional, and thought-provoking—something everyone should see. The museum is well-organized, easy to walk through, and gives you a deeper understanding of the city and its people. Definitely worth a visit.
The long, Brutalist structure looms over Paulista Avenue, its weighty monumental form seemingly suspended on flaming-red concrete piers. More than just architecture, it’s an urban sculpture—bold, functional, and commanding. Beneath its vast undercroft, a public plaza unfolds, a space carved from the very air it hovers over. The top floor houses the museum’s permanent collection—where space and display become their own form of functional art. Hundreds of paintings—modern, avant-garde, contemporary, and classical—seem to float on crystal easels, creating an eerie, almost transcendental effect. This unconventional display allows viewers to see both the front and back of each piece, transforming them from static, two-dimensional works into dynamic, almost sculptural objects. It’s an experience that feels refreshingly out of the box. This museum is idiosyncratic and breathtaking at the same time. Highly recommended.
This might be the most exciting fine art museum I’ve ever seen — and not because of its extraordinary collection, but because of how the artworks are presented. Take a moment to read about why the architect chose to display them this way — it’s truly unique, and the experience stays with you long after you leave.
Third time here, always a great experience. Tons of art from different time periods and cool exhibitions, and I love how the permanent collection in the “original” museum on the top floor is staged in clear boxes. Worth going every day but especially when free on Tuesdays!!!
A great museum to visit in Sao Paulo. If you just have time only for one museum this should be the one. A stunning architectural structure by the modernist Italian born Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi finished in 1968. In the first and second floor the paintings are just hold by a very clever glass structure which makes them look like they are swing from above. The glass structure gives you also to see the back of the painting and enjoy the piece of art from every side. A very unique display and I must say the best way you can present paintings. A beautiful must see museum of Art which accommodates Picasso, Mattisse, Monet, El Greco, Velasquez, Rubens, Tintoretto, Max Ernst and many more.
It's nice museum and worth visiting, only I think they could put little bit more things there.
Histories of Ecology climate change exhibit in the shorter building and lovely paintings hanging in rows on level 2 in the taller building.
Perhaps the most iconic building of São Paulo, Lina Bo Bardi’s MASP was a total shock when it was constructed in the 1960’s. The unparalleled design mixes a suspended main body which frees up space for a public plaza which serves as well as the roof for two more floors that opens to the opposite side of Avenida Paulista. The iconic open space of the second floor’s gallery once again holds the Works of art in glass and concrete bases.

I was thoroughly impressed by this museum. I loved the ample amount of cheap parking, the huge outdoor area, the beautiful architecture of the buildings, the history of the place, etc. This place was very good for small children because they could move around much of the area unrestricted with a parent’s watchful supervision.
Absolutely brilliant and interesting inside out. You will find infos about transportation and how it evolved in time, replicas and real trains, planes. Inside you can check the wild nature based photography expo, be mesmerised by optic illusions, learning physics through games and experimenting or see the evolution and extinction of life on earth. There is also an anatomy section which describes the processes in the body and presents the human DNA at a huge scale.
Great museum and a positively surprising experience. Enjoyed learning about Brazil’s landscape and vegetation zones. Some experiments were also new to me. So all in all a pleasant afternoon.
Absolutely epic! Full ticket price of 18reais gets you access to exhibits on life, space, geology, transport and more. Thrilled to see that they'd partnered up with London's natural history museum for the wildlife photography contest. Funnily enough that's the other museum I always come out thinking that I must return back to since there's more to do in just a single day. Same goes here! A must-see
The museum is incredible, with so many things to see! It's an ideal place for families due to the numerous interactive exhibits. The first floor is geared more towards children, while the second floor features plenty of reading materials, so I recommend it for ages 12+. The architecture is truly stunning. Just one tip: arrive early to have a better chance to explore and play with everything.
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The kids enjoyed the dedicated play area and the swimming pool. The hotel staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs, even arranging a late check-out. The rooms were spacious and very clean, perfect for our family.
This place is a MUST SEE of SAO PAULO it doesn't look like much from the outside but theres so much to see here from all forms of science from anatomy to biology to astronomy to physics you name it, its here from Darwin to Tesla...its here I LOVED THIS PLACE its amazing. BRAVO I HAVE MORE PICS BUT GOOGLE MAPS HAS A LIMIT ;)
Amazing place! Free entrance on Tuesday! Can spend hours there. Has restaurants and water (free). Clean washrooms. Great place to learn and play for all ages. You will come out with more wisdom. Amazing from outside and inside.

Was there for a quick look but turned out spent an hour there. This place is absolutely stunning. It’s gorgeous, peaceful, and many good words I could not think of. I recommend anyone who visits Sao Paulo please spend some of your time visiting this place! You will be grateful.
It's amazing how pretty it is. Also, nice place to buy some souvenirs. They have things that start at R$4,00.
Absolutely loved my visit to Mosteiro de São Bento in São Paulo! The nice architecture is truly breathtaking, with intricate details and historical charm that transport you back in time. 🏰 The great view from inside is simply stunning. The stained glass windows and ornate decorations create a serene and inspiring atmosphere. 🌟 Don't miss the Gregorian chants during the morning Mass, it adds a unique, spiritual experience to your visit. Inside, the peaceful ambiance and beautiful art make it a must see. Highly recommended for anyone visiting São Paulo! 👍
Mosteiro São Bento in the Centro Histórico de São Paulo stands as a tranquil sanctuary amidst the bustling cityscape. This historic monastery, dating back to the 16th century, offers visitors a unique blend of spiritual solace and architectural beauty. The Gregorian chants during morning mass provide a mesmerizing and soulful experience, transporting attendees to a time of profound peace and contemplation. The interior of the monastery is adorned with intricate artwork and gold-leaf detailing, showcasing the rich religious and cultural heritage of São Paulo. Visiting the Mosteiro São Bento is not only a step back in time but a chance to appreciate the quiet majesty and enduring spirit of this venerable institution.
A must see. It rivals the most grand you would see in Europe. Just stunning. I came to the Sunday mass for the chanting but it was less chanting and more traditional mass singing. Maybe they have the chants at a different time. We came early to sit in front and people were standing all around the sides by the start of service. We also picked up some cookies and a bread cake from the bakery. High recommend.

It's the place where Bento XVI stayed when he visited Sao Paulo. It's easy to get there by subway and the mass on Sunday at 10am is great. There is a page on Instagram @brunchnomosteiro where you can make a reservation for a brunch after the mass. They also sell religious items and fresh baked bread but they don't accept cards. Only Cash. I highly recommend the visit. ☆☆☆☆☆
This was the best thing I saw in São Paulo, and the most impressive church I've seen in 20 years traveling around Latin America. Maybe the bar is low for both, but I found this place very moving and ethereal. If i lived in this awful city I'd visit the monastery on a regular basis to be reminded of what beauty means.

A beautiful place, it's a very well-organized zoo, the staff is super helpful and welcoming, the Animals look very healthy, as if they're well taken care of. I absolutely loved this place and recommend buying the combo at a discount. Also, plan to come early in the morning, because it is gigantic and you wouldn't want to miss out on seeing anything.
A good whole days outing . I was generally favourably impressed with the enclosures in relation to their occupants , the only ones I had some reservations about were the Condors & the Harpy Eagles which are such huge birds. The zoo is well laid out & all the exhibits are labelled in both English & Portuguese. Particularly impressed with the bird enclosures & was very , very lucky to attend on the very day that the critically endangered Spix Macaw ( 2 of them ) were released into their new aviary. Some impressive murals on walls around the zoo. Large lake , refreshment outlets & a shop.
We did the night experience at the zoo, where you walk around a night following a dedicated path/ green line through the exhibits of the park. You don’t get to experience everything but you do see a lot! Elephant, giraffes, lions, and a hippo really up close! There is a place to get snacks like popcorn and candy but the other food that’s 1/2 way along your journey looked dried out and nasty. The popcorn was good though!
The São Paulo Zoo (Zoológico de São Paulo) is a fantastic destination for families and animal lovers! With over 3,000 animals, including rare species like jaguars and golden lion tamarins, it offers an engaging and educational experience. The lush Atlantic Forest setting makes it feel immersive. Some enclosures could be more modern, but conservation efforts are commendable. A great day out! 🦁🌿 #SãoPauloZoo #Wildlife
It was good generally but some animals weren't in pairs which leads to their suffering without a companion. Amd there weren't enough guiding maps for visitors. There was only one at the entrance.
Nice collection of South-American animals and birds. Lovely zoo, animals seems to have good and bretty narural living spaces.
This location is well kept, there is a lot to do make sure you plan for a full day!
It's a marvelous place to spend the day. A good place for young kids and family in general. There's tap water for free. Also you'll find places to rest along the way, because it's a very big place. Dinosaur park require another ticket to enter. For me, I would skip. Nothing new that I haven't seen before. But kids will certainly love it.

Great stadium and vibe. Although we went for a under 20 game, the stadium was packed and the fans were loud and cheering all game. We didn't pay for tickets as entry was free. Really enjoyed the experience before, during and after the game.
Don’t waste your energy. The lack of professionalism ruined my whole night! Nobody understood English, you can’t buy tickets normally, you have to go to a broken website which is only in Portuguess and creat an account which is impossible. There were a group of 10 tourists who tried to buy tickets and even the people who worked there couldn’t do it… We tried for 2 hours and finally the womam who sells ticket said the site is down completely. She closed her laptop and went back inside. Unbelievable for a country who believes football is life
Best football stadium I have ever been in my life.
Home of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, this ultra modern stadium impress you from the first time you step in. It can host around 44.000 people for a football game, the capacity going 10-15.000 up in case of a concert of simmilar event. Easy accesibile by metro, it stands as a nice surprise while in Sao Paulo.
Allianz Parque This might be the largest arena I’ve ever been to. Despite the heavy rain and the long line, inside the area is organized. There are food options and merchandise areas but I didn’t get a chance to interact with them. With Pista Premium it is really uncomfortable because it rains in the area and the shaded part of the arena is just the stage.
Beautiful stadium but tour is not what I expected. We hope to visit trophy room again but wasn’t possible and it need more sign information for foreign visitors

Variety of animals. Great staff. Buy your ticket in advance, on their site. The animals look healthy and at ease. Please respect the silence in certain areas... The otters in particular get spooked easily. Otherwise you may not be able to spot them. The aquarium has a specific route you have to follow, so it may end up being a bit crowded in some places in the aquarium part of the route. There's a big restaurant area, a smaller cafeteria and a few shops where you can buy souvenirs. I'd suggest that you wait to buy things until the last shop, so you don't lost too much time. We ended up spending 3h+ in the aquarium.
You can buy tickets inside cash only or pix It was lovely seeing all the fish, insects and animals. Especially see how big some of the fish are, was kind of crazy compared to what I'm use to. Was very quiet which was nice no over crowding and seemed like a reasonable amount of space in the enclosures, seemed quite big for some of the animals. I just hope it was cold enough for the polar bears.
We had such a great time at the Aquário de São Paulo! I went with my sister and my one-year-old nephew, and it was a fantastic experience for all of us. The aquarium is much bigger than we expected, with a wide variety of animals — from colorful fish and sharks to penguins, kangaroos, and even polar bears! Everything is well organized, clean, and easy to navigate, even with a stroller. The themed areas are super creative and immersive, and there’s always something new and exciting around each corner. My nephew was completely mesmerized the whole time, and honestly, so were we! It’s the perfect place for a family outing — fun, educational, and full of surprises. Highly recommended!
The place was beautiful. It just needed a little more cleaning. Other than that, it was very fun and spacious enough for the whole family. Highly recommended.
It's amazing, a lot of diversity in not just fish's, polar bears and even shark's, just fantastic.
It looks small but is actually quite large. Family oriented and has many exhibits to see. Parking is difficult.
This was an amazing aquarium recommended by a friend. It looks small from the outside but as you walk through it you realized just how big it is! They have the cutest new polar bear to see. If you are not from Brazil I highly recommend pulling out cash before going and just paying with cash to enter. They don’t accept international cards.
It's an amazing park. Worth it a lot! For kids and family, but also for couples or even singles. Very organized and full of not only aquatic animals but also from African and Asian countries. The animals seems very treated and confortble. The only bad thing to me it's the location. Not easy to find. Maybe because I'm a tourist.

Built in 2014 for the World Cup, it's still as impressive as 10 years ago. Very modern stadium, house of Corinthians Football Club. I watched a derby here (Corinthians vs Palmeiras) and I can say it really was one of the best atmosphere I ever encountered at this kind of event.
Great arena tour, gave me awesome ideas for world-building, also learned some parts of the history of the team, only problem that I found (may not be a problem for everyone) was that the tour guide spoke too quickly, didn't wait for the party to be full to begin explaining, plus the microphone was too loud and burst, I couldn't understand a couple of things, but overall a good experience. Although some things were dirty even though construction isn't over yet.
We went here for the first time to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chargers. NFL football. Very straight forward place to get into. Plenty of Uber drivers to leave the stadium after the game. Seating was not crammed and small. Had plenty of elbow room. Ordering food was done through a kiosk and then you take that reciept to another counter to receive your food which we found to be very efficient. We purchased a souvenir cup and when we went to pick up our order learned that we did not receive a drink with the cup which we thought was weird. Had to go back to the kiosk to order a drink, and when we went to go pick it up the canned soda only filled our small souvenir cup up half way. The lady helping us with the food was super helpful and nice as was all of them. The only other small issues were that they closed the store before the game started and then opened it back up after. It was at least 90minutes prior to the game starting and they closed the store? Nice stadium and enjoyed our time here.
Went to the nfl game here and it was absolutely amazing! Brazil showed out for sure! Great game atmosphere and host did an amazing job! Salute Brazil I hope they do another game there Check out my amazing travel videos on YouTube @ArmyguyTravels
Beautiful arena, less than ideal accessibility to upper levels, but all around a great venue.
Great place. The PA system needs to be upgraded though. Could not hear the music, the announcers, etc.
First time in my life, I got an opportunity to see the live football match from this stadium along with the crowd of 47000 supporters and the soccer lover. The stadium is beautiful and it gives you ultimate happiness while watching the match, here you can get the t-shirt with your name and favourite number
Excellent time at the NFL experience and Football game.

Great theater featuring some of the most remarkable plays, including Brazilian versions of Broadway most acclaimed musicals, such as ‘the Lion King’.
Though it lacks the decorative flair of more ornate theaters, the Renault is a very nice modern theater which has everything necessary to put on a great performance and very comfortable facilities with which to enjoy them. The staff are excellent at directing everything and keeping the performances on time by moving people through concessions lines or the restrooms during intermissions.
This theater is really cozy and well managed. The seats are comfortable and all of them offers a good view of the stage. This pictures are from main room and cabins seats.
I'm a gringo from Chicago Illinois... We seen the Addams Family... Was wonderful in Portuguese.. and the theater was beautiful of course...
Elegant, beautiful, nice smiles from the staff, BUT too expensive to eat or to drink something. 48 reais for 135ml sparkling wine: crasy!
The theater is nice, it's comfortable and has a wide space. I went to the Phantom of the Opera, and was amazing, good cast, good scenery and they care of every single details, congrats!
A wonderful place, Broadway-like in terms of stage production and sound quality. Structure is good, food and drinks ridiculously expensive, $10 for a soda can? Yeah sure. Still worth the shot.
This place is beautiful. The shows and plays that are available in here are also good. I watched " The Phantom of the Opera" it was amazing it looked exactly how Broadway plays are performed outside.
