Tour description

Historic Downtown

  • Sé Cathedral
  • Caixa Bank Cultural Center
  • São Paulo City Museum
  • Schoolyard square
  • Banco do Brasil Cultural Center
  • Stock Exchange Museum
  • Altino Arantes Building
  • Antonio Prado Square
  • Martinelli Building
  • São Bento Monastery


 The tour begins at Sé Square and ends at the São Bento Monastery.

 On this sightseeing tour, you'll visit some of São Paulo's most important and iconic historical and architectural landmarks. You'll explore iconic sites such as the Sé Cathedral, one of the largest neo-Gothic churches in Brazil, and the Caixa Bank Cultural Center, home to art exhibitions and performances. You'll also visit the São Paulo City Museum, a must-see for history buffs, and the Schoolyard square, where the city was founded.

 Along the way, you'll visit the Stock Exchange Museum, the Martinelli Building, with its impressive views of the city, and the São Bento Monastery, known for its serene atmosphere and Gregorian chants. Don't forget to stop at Plaza Antonio Prado to admire its historic colonial architecture.

 For the best experience, I recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, as the tour will involve walking through some charming, though sometimes uneven, streets. Don't forget to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and sunglasses, especially on sunny days.

 This tour is perfect for history and architecture lovers, or anyone who wants to discover São Paulo's fascinating past. I hope you enjoy the tour and make unforgettable memories!
