Things to Do
Walk Avenida Paulista and visit MASP

Paulista is the city’s pulse—museums, bookstores, cafés and people-watching. MASP’s collection and its glass-box gallery are essential for modern and international art.
Relax and explore Ibirapuera Park
Large urban park with lakes, museums, walking and cycling paths, outdoor sculpture and green space for relaxed afternoons.
Ibirapuera is the best urban green break in the city—good for a jog, picnic, or visiting nearby cultural venues without leaving the park.
Eat at the Mercado Municipal (Mercadão)
Historic central market known for fresh produce, Brazilian specialties and the famous mortadella sandwich.
The market is a food-lover’s introduction to local flavors and produce; it’s also an architecturally striking hall with an energetic atmosphere.
See street art in Vila Madalena (Beco do Batman)
An open-air street-art alley and the surrounding bohemian neighborhood of Vila Madalena with bars, galleries and small shops.
Beco do Batman showcases the city’s best graffiti in a compact walkable area; the neighborhood is also where locals go for casual nightlife and creative dining.
Visit the Pinacoteca and Luz area
