📍 São Paulo Cathedral & 📍 Rio de Janeiro Cathedral

Today felt like a "church culture day" — I was in São Paulo in the morning and flew to Rio in the afternoon! ⛪️ São Paulo Cathedral: Gothic spires + stained glass windows — solemn yet romantic. Stepping inside felt like traveling back to medieval Europe. *Fun fact: It's one of the largest neo-Gothic churches in the world, with a capacity for 8,000 worshippers!* ⛪️ Rio de Janeiro Cathedral: Pyramid-shaped exterior with four massive stained glass walls inside. When sunlight pours in, the space is so breathtaking it leaves you speechless. Designed by Oscar Niemeyer, this modernist masterpiece stands 75 meters tall with a diameter of 106 meters. ✨ Experiencing São Paulo’s elegance and Rio’s grandeur in a single day was a feast for both the eyes and the soul. Pro tip: Visit São Paulo Cathedral in the morning when the light shines through the rose window, and time your Rio Cathedral visit for afternoon when the western sun sets the stained glass ablaze! ✈️ The flight between cities takes about an hour, making it perfect to explore two completely different architectural styles in one day. *Budget hack: Book flights in advance for as low as $50-80 one way!* # São Paulo# São Paulo Cathedral #Rio de Janeiro Cathedral#Travel guide#trip diary#brazil
