Downtown neighborhoods
One of the world's coolest neighborhoods and Brazil's best museums.
Known for their rich and diverse architecture, they portray the history and evolution of São Paulo. An impressive mix of constructions from different eras — from eclectic to modernism — enchants residents and visitors with the appreciation of São Paulo's cultural heritage.
A neoclassical masterpiece, a landmark of the São Paulo landscape. Built in the late 19th century, it also houses the Museum of the Portuguese Language, dedicated to the history and uses of the language — one of the most unique museums in Brazil.
The most important art institution in Brazil dedicated to Brazilian collections. Over 11,000 works, temporary exhibitions of international museum quality, and a historic building restored by Paulo Mendes da Rocha that is itself a masterpiece.
Home of the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (Osesp), in one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world. International acoustics inside a restored former railway station.
Residents are a heterogeneous mix: traditional families and a large immigrant community, especially Korean and Jewish. The area is also Latin America's largest popular fashion hub, with shops along José Paulino and Aimorés streets.
