With it’s striking skyline of high rise buildings and skyscrapers, Sao Paulo is a veritable melting pot of cultures. Originally a mission station for Jesuit priests on banks of the Rio Tiete, it is now the largest, most chaotic and commercially successful city in Brazil, bustling with life and South American charm.
Sao Paulo’s diverse immigrant population includes settlers from Italy, Japan, Lebanon and even Germany – an ethnic mix that has lent the city an appealing cosmopolitan edge which really offers something for everyone.
