20 Things to do in São Paulo, Brazil Travel Guide
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. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities you won't find in a typical São Paulo tourism brochure or São Paulo, Brasil city tour.
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.

Our FAVORITE beach town in Mexico that you've NEVER heard of
Located in the heart of the Mayan Riviera, Puerto Morelos QUICKLY became our favorite beach town in Mexico!
►Subscribe to our channel!
Puerto Morelos is in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located halfway between Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. On the shores of the Caribbean Sea, the waters and beach of Puerto Morelos are some of the prettiest we’ve seen!
This quaint little beach town is kicking off our 2019 Mexico travel vlog and we can’t wait to explore this town and surrounding area even more! The town itself is pretty small, one of the smallest beach towns we’ve been to throughout our Mexico travels. But there is a huge coral reef right off shore, quite a few great restaurants to try, and some of the best snorkeling and diving in the Yucatan Peninsula. Needless to say, I think we’ll stay plenty busy here.
If that isn’t enough, with the town’s close proximity to Cancun and Playa Del Carmen and other amazing destinations in the Riviera Maya, there’s no shortage of things to do within a reasonable driving distance.
One thing that has plagued Mexico’s Caribbean beaches over the course of the past year is the sargazo (seaweed). Typically, this is only something that these Mexico beach towns only have to deal with about 1 month a year, but lately it’s been different. In our opinion, the sargazo in Puerto Morelos hasn’t been too bad since we’ve been here. It can pile up on the beaches but the water has been pretty clear with its natural, gorgeous, hues of blue and green.
In today’s video, we ate breakfast at a local restaurant and later had some Veracruz-influenced seafood at another. We also took a short trip to Cancun to purchase some things that we’ve been needing from Costco, which was a super painless drive straight up the highway.

On a personal level, Ukraine was the most pleasantly surprising country we visited this year on tour across Europe. Not knowing what to expect and not having much time to prepare we arrived in Ukraine with fresh eyes while hitting the ground running.

Canada 45 - Ottawa Highlights Day 2
Trip we made in August and September 2015 across Canada. Viagem que fizemos em Agosto e Setembro de 2015 pelo Canada. 10/09/2015
Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of southern Ontario. Ottawa borders Gatineau, Quebec; the two form the core of the Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area (CMA) and the National Capital Region (NCR). As of 2016, Ottawa had a city population of 964,743 and a metropolitan population of 1,323,783 making it the fourth-largest city and the fifth-largest CMA in Canada.
Ottawa é a capital e quarta maior cidade do Canadá. A cidade está localizada na margem sul do rio Ottawa, na parte leste do sul de Ontário a aproximadamente 400 quilômetros de Toronto, e a 190 quilômetros de Montreal. Ottawa faz fronteira com Gatineau na província de Quebec, as duas formam o núcleo da região metropolitana de Ottawa-Gatineau e da região da capital nacional.[9] Em 2016, Ottawa tinha uma população local de 934 mil habitantes e uma população metropolitana de 1.323.783 tornando-se a quarta maior cidade e a quinta maior região metropolitana do Canadá.
Ottawa es la capital de Canadá y la cuarta ciudad más grande del país. Se ubica en el extremo sureste de la provincia de Ontario, a orillas del río Ottawa, que conforma la frontera entre las provincias de Ontario y Quebec. Se localiza aproximadamente a 400 kilómetros al este de Toronto y 200 al oeste de Montreal.
Ottawa ist die Bundeshauptstadt Kanadas. Sie liegt im östlichen Teil der Provinz Ontario am Fluss Ottawa, unmittelbar an der Grenze zur Provinz Québec. Ottawa bedeutet „Händler“ in der Sprache der Algonkin, einem Volk, das zur Zeit der Besiedlung am Fluss Handel trieb. Am anderen Ufer des Flusses liegt die Zwillingsstadt Gatineau.
Ottawa je glavni grad Kanade. Grad se nalazi u južnom dijelu pokrajine Ontario, na rijeci Ottawi (Outaouais) koja tvori prirodnu granicu između Ontarija i Québeca. Na drugoj strani rijeke nalazi se susjedni grad Gatineau. Ova dva grada, zajedno sa okolnim općinama, čine Regiju nacionalne prijestolnice (National Capital Region ili Région de la capitale nationale).
Ottawa è la capitale federale del Canada, situata sulla sponda meridionale del fiume Ottawa, nell'omonima valle nella provincia dell'Ontario, al confine orientale con la provincia del Québec. Per popolazione è la quarta città nazionale dopo Toronto, Montréal e Calgary, se si esclude la popolazione della Grande Vancouver, ed è anche quarta come area metropolitana, insieme alla città di Gatineau in Québec, situata sulla sponda settentrionale del fiume Ottawa.
オタワ は、カナダの首都。オンタリオ州東部に位置する地方行政区の一つでもある。オタワ川を挟んで隣接するガティノーを含め連邦政府の行政機関が集中する行政都市である。
오타와 는 캐나다의 수도이자, 지방자치단체로 온타리오 주 내에 두 번째로 큰 도시이다. 남 온타리오 동부의 오타와 밸리에 위치한 이 도시는 오타와강 남쪽 유역에 있으며, 주요 수로는 온타리오와 퀘벡 지방 사이의 지역 경계선을 형성한다.
Отта́ва столица Канады. Расположена в восточной части провинции Онтарио на берегу реки Оттавы, по которой проходит граница между провинциями Онтарио и Квебек. Оттава — четвёртый по величине город страны и второй по величине город Онтарио.
Ottawa highlights:
Parliament Buildings
Like their counterpart in London, the Parliament Buildings are an imposing neo-Gothic pile restored from the ruins left after a devastating fire in 1916. They dominate the Ottawa River from a bluff somewhat exaggeratedly known as Parliament Hill. As a counterpart to Westminster’s Big Ben, the 92m (302ft) Peace Tower, with clocks on all four sides and a 53-bell carillon, was built in front of the central building as a monument to those killed in World War I. Take the lift to the observation deck for a fine view of the city, the Gatineau Hills and the Ottawa River.
Rideau Canal
ByWard Market
National Gallery of Canada
Sussex Drive
The National Gallery of Canada is the creation of architect Moshe Safdie, also known for his Habitat homes in Montréal. It is worth spending at least half a day at the gallery, which houses the country’s best European collections. The airy glass-and-steel construction brings natural daylight flooding into the spectacular Great Hall and all the galleries. The terrace of the main restaurant faces Nepean Point Park, while the windows of a less formal restaurant look out over the Ottawa River.
Canadian Museum of Nature
Victoria Memorial Museum Building
