🇧🇷 Solo Adventure in São Paulo: 2-Day Itinerary
Spent 2 amazing days exploring São Paulo alone! Here's my safety-approved guide with the best spots to visit, eat, and shop. 🛡️ Safety First Stayed near Avenida Paulista (safe area, great for transport & shopping). Other safe zones: Jardins, Itaim Bibi, Vila Madalena. 📸 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ São Paulo Cathedral ⛪ Skipped it (just a quick photo op), but go if you have time—watch your phone! 2️⃣ Avenida Paulista 🎉 Méqui 1000 (World’s 1000th McDonald’s!) MASP Museum (Iconic "side-eye" painting 😒 + Van Gogh & Monet!) ⚠️ Go on SUNDAY! The street becomes pedestrian-only—full of stalls, street performers, and vibes for days! Grab a beer and enjoy! 🍺🎶 3️⃣ Beco do Batman (Batman Alley) 🎨 Graffiti heaven! Chill, shop for souvenirs, and soak in the art. 🛍️ Shopping Guide 1️⃣ Patio Paulista Mall Natura (Brazilian skincare—Açaí body lotion & Ekos hand cream!)
