Pros: Great beef, warm culture

Pros: Warm and friendly people with great food and drink
Cons: Crime....Crime....and More Crime....

One of the most populated cities in the world....Sao Paulo offers the best and worst of Brazil. The people are warm and friendly...but there's a dark side - crime is an everyday problem and constantly in the back of your mind.

I've visited...

Pros: Paulistanos are more intolerant than I am therefore this trip was educational.

Pros: bustling conflicted variegated alive troubling
Cons: growth pains like we have never known

Go to Sao Paulo if you want to see the future! This city of dramatic contrasts is pulsing with life, 24-hours a day. Dangerous -- yes, crammed with people -- yes, but vibrant and on the "cutting edge."

Pros: Cheap, nearby,plenty of new things to see.
Cons: You probably won't have much time to explore everything in São Paulo.

OK! So São Paulo is a bustling city with more than 15 million inhabitants in its Greater Metropolitan Area. So there is an Underground system which reminds that of New York City during the rush hours. So you can eat like a King and sleep like a Prince...
