Suggestion: The PRIVATE City Tour - The Best of São Paulo may start at Hotel Blue Tree Convention (beside Shopping Center Ibirapuera) or at the place according to your request. The tour takes approx. 4 hours and goes in the direction of the noble neighborhood of the Nova Conceição and the Ibirapuera Park. We will pass in front of the park, able to see its green area and monuments like “Monument of Bandeiras”, “Statue of Pedro Álvares Cabral”, “Mausoleum of the Constitutionalist Soldier & its Obelisk”, Monument of Ayrton Senna, and the Biennial. After this we go in the direction of Ave. Brasil and its green area with huge houses and the church of Nossa Senhora do Brasil.

From there we approach the famous hotel and restaurant district of Jardins, passing the fabulous shopping streets of Haddock Lobo & Oscar Freire (Named Paulista Manhattan, with stores like; Hugo Boss, Versace, Mount Blanc, etc.) Then we reach the symbol of the city, Ave. Paulista and its sites like; MASP Museum, several Culture Centers and many bank buildings. At the end of this avenue we approach the Japanese Town where you will discover one of Sao Paulo’s contrasts as a multi-cultural city.

We have now been going around for some time and then time for our first stop and inside visit. We will visit the Cathedral of Sé where the city and the state have its zero marker. Then we continue by car, passing the place where Sao Paulo where founded, “Patio do Colégio”, and then the Monastery of Sao Bento, valley of Anhangabau, the Municipal Theater and some other buildings of interest.

After all this, it is time for our second inside visit, now at the Municipal Market. The lively market opens four a’ clock in the mornings, but by the time we will visit, it is already calm and we can stroll around for some time. Here you can find most food stuff, exotic fruits you never have seen, tasteful cheeses you don’t find in common markets, lots of snack like olives, nuts, etc. You may also find some good wine, good variety of meet and fish. They sell also tropical birds and some small animals. Even if you don’t intend to buy anything, it is a nice experience to visit this market and it will hopefully raise your appetite..!

From the market we will go in the direction of São Paulo’s highest building, Edifício Itália. On the way we will pass the Park of Don Pedro II. By the time we will arrive the tour's last attraction, Praça da Republica, we suggest to go upstairs and have a lunch at the restaurant Terraço Itália, situated on the top floor of Edifício Itália. This visit is optional, but there it is possible to enjoy, besides the lunch buffet (lunch is not included, upon request we can include the lunch), also the most fabulous and interesting view of São Paulo city – a panoramic view of 360°. After all this, time to return to the place where we started our tour.
