Santa Cecília

The bohemian neighborhood of downtown, stronghold of the São Paulo left.

One of the oldest and most charming neighborhoods of São Paulo, with a rich tapestry of history, vibrant culture and diverse cuisine. Easy access to everything in the city, with a personality that attracts students, artists and freelance professionals — the "santa ceciliers".

Preserved history

Founded in the 17th century, it carries centuries of São Paulo history. From farmland to the construction of the Santa Cecília church in 1861 (which gave the neighborhood its name), to becoming home to the elite in the late 19th century. Fascinating architectural heritage.

Gastronomic hub

From the authentic Italian cuisine of Jardim de Napoli to Frê Restobar — which combines food, music and art —, there are options for every taste. Sotero Cozinha Original (Northeastern), Holy Burger (artisan burgers). Barão de Tatuí and Canuto do Val streets concentrate bars and restaurants.

Minhocão on weekends

On Saturdays and Sundays, the Elevado Presidente Costa e Silva — the famous Minhocão — becomes a space for pedestrians and cyclists. Walking or cycling on the closed expressway gives a unique perspective of the city, with cultural activities along the way.
