Sao Paulo in Brazil was founded by monks in 1554 as a mission. Through the years it became a trading post and then a market town. With the arrival of the railway and the establishment of coffee plantations, Sao Paulo became one of the largest coffee exporters in the world. It is now the third largest city in the world, with some of the best restaurants and value-priced hotels anywhere.
An exciting and energetic city, there is always something to do in Sao Paulo. Dine on a gourmet meal at one of the numerous restaurants, such as the Terraco Italia. Browse the antiques, crafts and arts at the Fiera do Bixiga (flea market). Enjoy the variety of nightlife in the evenings.
Sao Paulo is the site of many museums and historical buildings. A cultural centre is housed in the Casa de Rosas, a French-style mansion and garden. The Solar de Marquesa de Santos is an 18th century manor house with displays of art and objects based on Sao Paulo. The Cathedral da Se is a neo-gothic church with 14 towers located in the centre of the city.
Sao Paulo offers outdoor attractions also, such as the Jardim Botanico. There are 314 species of native plants in this botanical garden, in addition to rainforest plants, orchids and aquatic plants. The Ibirapuera Park is a large city park with paths for walking and bicycle riding, a lagoon, and a Bosque de Leitura – a free outdoor library that lends books and magazines to visitors for the day.
The Tryp Tatuape Hotel is located near major attractions in Sao Paulo, while the Golden Tulip Paulista Plaza Sao Paulo is located in the business centre. Other quality discount hotels in Sao Paulo are Melia Jardim Europa Sao Paulo, and the Caesar Park Faria Lima Hotel Sao Paulo.
