Visiting Sao Paolo was a bit intimidating. We weren't really sure what to expect prior to visiting South America's largest city, however, we found that in that midst of the crowds and chaos there were cool pockets filled with parks, street art, and an abundance of restaurants. For this video, we also had two of our Brazilian friends join us and they were able to provide a unique window into the city. This travel guide will showcase 20 things to do in Sao Paulo, Brazil:

Our visit São Paulo travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide (best restaurants and street food), top museums and São Paulo at night.

20 Things to do in São Paulo, Brazil Travel Guide and Top Attractions Video Transcript:

Within the park grounds you’ll find the Afro-Brasil Museum, which is a contemporary museum that looks at African culture and influence in Brazilian society. And not too far from there, you’ll come across the Museum of Modern Art.

Batman Alley is located in Vila Madalena and it has become a popular tourist and Instagram spot. Apparently the place gets its name because the first piece of graffiti to go up was one of Batman back in the 1980s.

If you’re a football lover, this is a place you won’t want to miss.

Being the foodies that we are, we couldn’t skip the Municipal Market. Here you can find exotic fruits, fresh vegetables, meats, spices and even restaurants. We went there right around the lunch hour to try the famed mortadella sandwich.

From there, we visited Sao Paulo Cathedral. We only learned this after our visit, but there’s a crypt you can visit.

Next up we headed to the neighbourhood of Liberdade, which has the largest Japanese community in the world outside of Japan. We decided to hit up a sushi buffet for some food!

That evening we met up with our Brazilian friends, who took us out for a night on the town.

That morning we visited Pinacoteca do Estado, which is a cool art museum that focuses on works by Brazilian artist or works with Brazilian subject matter.

After that we headed over to Parque da Luz. This park is right next to the museum and it has a lot of interesting sculptures scattered about.

Sao Paulo’s Teatro Municipal first opened in 1911. The Martinelli building is 30 stories high and it was the first skyscraper in South America.

And that’s a quick look at how we spent 2 days in Sao Paulo. We hope you enjoyed this guide and that it gave you some ideas on how to tackle South America’s largest city. As always, if you have any other suggestions of fun things to do in Sao Paulo, feel free to share those with us in the comments below.

This is part of our Travel in Brazil video series showcasing Brazilian food, Brazilian culture and Brazilian cuisine.

INSANE ARGENTINIAN PARRILLADA - with Chef Antonio Park & Guga Rocha at Montreal's Lavanderia!!!

We took the kids out for a family dinner to Montreal's Lavanderia - a Chef Antonio Park restaurant. Our intention was only to document the creation of a specific meal - the Parrillada Completa. It's the Noah's Arc of meat and seafood. It's epic. It's glorious. And when we got to the restaurant, we found that there was an event being held for the Brazilian and Canadian Business Development. We got to meet another world-class chef, Chef Guga Rocha. It was a pretty awesome random series of events. Enjoy! Peace out! And be sure to like, share, comment & subscribe!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Street foods, ready-to-eat food or drink sold in a street or other public place, such as a market or fair, by a hawker or vendor, often from a portable stall, have variations within both regions and cultures. For example, Dorling Kindersley describes the street food of Viet Nam as being fresh and lighter than many of the cuisines in the area and draw[ing] heavily on herbs, chile peppers and lime, while street food of Thailand is fiery and pungent with shrimp paste... and fish sauce with New York City's signature street food being the hot dog, although the offerings in New York also range from spicy Middle Eastern falafel or Jamaican jerk chicken to Belgian waffles. In Hawaii, the local street food tradition of Plate Lunch (rice, macaroni salad and a portion of meat) was inspired by the bento of the Japanese who had been brought to Hawaii as plantation workers.
