🌎 South America Travel | 🇧🇷 São Paulo Transportation Guide + Attraction Recommendations This trip to São Paulo was mainly because it's one of the cheapest ways to reach South America from Hong Kong. We stayed for 2-3 days, but if you're coming specifically for tourism, I personally don't think it's necessary—the attractions are quite average, and safety isn't the best 😂 🚃 Transportation From GRU Airport, we took an airport taxi to the city center—the most expensive but most convenient option. Uber is cheaper, while the cheapest option is the bus or train 🚃🚃. After a 30+ hour flight, we just wanted to get to our accommodation quickly, so we chose a taxi. In the city, you can take the metro—each ride costs 4.4 BRL regardless of distance. You can buy tickets with cash at the station and scan the QR code to enter. However, I highly recommend Uber 👍🏼—it's cheap, no need to navigate, and safer for your belongings. 🏠 Accommodation We stayed near Avenida Paulista (Paulista Avenue), close to Paulista Metro Station 🚃—a convenient location with plenty of shops and restaurants. Others recommend Jardim Paulista or Jardins (near Parque Ibirapuera), but we prioritized easy transportation. 🌟 Attractions São Paulo's sights are pretty average—fine for a 1-2 day layover, but not worth a special trip. 📍 Parque Ibirapuera (Ibirapuera Park) Skip if short on time. A spacious but ordinary park—nice for a walk in good weather. Nearby monuments are okay. 📍 MASP (São Paulo Museum of Art) On Avenida Paulista, Latin America’s first modern art museum, mostly featuring European works. Two floors, but not worth the high ticket price in my opinion. 📍 Beco do Batman (Batman Alley) Small, takes 30 mins max—the most colorful spot in São Paulo! The graffiti changes constantly as artists layer new work over old. 📍 Pinacoteca de São Paulo The city’s oldest art museum, with a unique building and more extensive collections. Right outside Luz Metro Station. 📍 Museu Paulista (Paulista Museum) Best for history buffs! São Paulo’s largest museum, with grand architecture and rich collections. Final Thoughts Weather? Unpredictable—bring an umbrella! ☔ Safety? Stay alert, avoid flashing valuables. Best for? A short stopover, not a dedicated trip. #SouthAmericaTravel #BrazilTravel #SaoPaulo #TravelTips #BackpackingBrazil #UrbanExplorer
