Banco de São Paulo

Historical landmark

👍👍 The building of the extinct Banco de São Paulo is now the headquarters of the State Government's Sports Secretariat. I love guided tours but this one is a show in itself. Dear Ivone, architect of the Secretariat and biggest lover of this building, makes your tourist experience a journey through time...

Figueira das Lágrimas

Historical landmark

👍👍 Too beautiful and huge, it's charming to see in person. Unfortunately, it's a place where rubbish is thrown... that's very sad.

Casa das Caldeiras

Event venue

👍👍 Really cool, unique place for awesome parties. There are a number of different rooms and passageways around the old factory. If you have a chance to go to a party here, I highly recommend it. Lots of great photo opps as well.

Palácio do Horto Florestal (Palácio de Verão do Governador)

Historical landmark

👍👍 The colonial café at Palácio do Horto is very diverse and delicious. Variety of bread, cakes, delicacies, coffee on the wood stove. The ground floor is the best place, as the buffet is there and if you stay on the top floor you will have to thicken your legs (like us). So arrive early.

Antiga Serraria

Historical landmark

👍👍 It is a covered place within Iberapuera Park where people also enjoy physical activities such as martial arts and yoga. The place is next to Burle Marx square and the Manequinho Lopes nursery, at the end of the Serraria there is a beautiful field of flowers, a great place to take beautiful photograp...

Obelisco do Ibirapuera

Historical landmark

👍👍 Ibirapuera Obelisk is a must-see when visiting São Paulo. Visiting it is like taking a stroll through the history of the struggles of the people of São Paulo in defense of democracy. Its grandeur impresses, its beauty brings joy and its architecture inspires.

Escadaria do Bixiga

Historical landmark

👍👍 It's a beautiful place to rest and great for training stilts, in fact people meet on the steps to train boxing, rehearse carnival blocks, or simply chat. I teach stilt classes at this place and it's always satisfactory.

Rua Avanhandava

Monument to Carlos Gomes

Historical landmark

👍 Located between Barão de Jaguara and Tomás Alves streets, this monument brings to Campinas a rich tribute to the great Maestro Carlos Gomes, who greatly enriched the city's culture with his compositions. Worth knowing!

Monument to the Heroes of the Atlantic crossing

Historical landmark

👍👍 Tribute to Italian aviators Francesco De Pinedo and Carlo Del Prete. With the blessing of Uncle Benito Mussolini. With the trend of setting fire to monuments, you have to be very vigilant. We know that "Uncle" Benito was a fascist, hence the importance of informing other generations about these hist...

Luz Station

Historical landmark

👍👍 One of the most beautiful stations in São Paulo. There are trains that take you anywhere through transfers. Be careful not to get lost and also with your wallet and cell phone, as there is a lot of pushing and shoving during peak hours (6am to 8am and 5:30pm to 7:30pm).

Castelinho da Rua Apa

Foundation

😠 I studied at a "school" that was inside this property in the late 90s. I was just a teenager who my parents encouraged to study and learn. Because today I see the ABUSE that I went through in this den, a pit of depraved and abusive people. Yes, I was a victim of the school that placed itself inside...

Black Mother statue

Historical landmark

👍👍 Beautiful, important, necessary work! With the hustle and bustle of São Paulo's frenetic life, contemplating the art displayed in the city's squares is a privilege. This work is very significant for Largo do Paissandu. I just feel sorry that there is often vandalism that prevents the work from being...

Curva da Morte

Historical landmark

😐 The name refers to decades ago, before the major renovation that the avenue underwent, softening the curve. Accidents were common, hence the name. Today accidents are uncommon, a current problem is the constant theft of wires that leave the traffic lights inoperative, but even today it looks good, i...

Campinho lageado

Historical landmark

👍👍 It was the place where I lived for 19 years! I have good and bad memories, but it made me strong! people are humble and respectful!

Julio Prestes Square

Historical landmark

😐 Gostaria de falar muito bem da restauração que está modernizando e reurbanizando a Praça Júlio Prestes. As torres residenciais, a estação maravilhosa, a Sala São Paulo, a praça cercada e trancada. Mas logo ali, bem na saída da estação Júlio Prestes, seres humanos vagam sem entender bem o que signifi...
