You haven’t really experienced Brazil until you’ve visited this amazing place. São Paulo, often referred to as St. Paul, is the heart of Brazil, showcasing a true mix of different cultures. Standing 750 meters above sea level, the city offers a constant supply of fresh air. Residents of São Paulo are known as “paulistanos,” reflecting the city’s history as a melting pot of immigrants from various generations. Interestingly, at least half of the population has Italian roots.

There’s a lot to see in São Paulo. One key attraction is the Latin America Memorial, which is one of the country’s top cultural centers and now also houses the Parliament. The Church of São Bento is another significant site, along with the Museum of Contemporary Art and the São Paulo Museum of Art.

Visiting São Paulo is almost a must, and there are plenty of last-minute hotel deals to choose from. The city caters well to tourists with a wide range of accommodations, including hotels, apartments, and bed and breakfasts.

For a luxurious stay, the five-star Melia Jardim Europa stands out. It offers quick check-in and check-out, breakfast in your room, and accepts all major credit cards. Plus, it features a swimming pool with parasols and deck chairs.

In the four-star category, the Mercure São Paulo Paulista is noteworthy. Located just two kilometers from the city center, it also boasts a fitness center for guests.

For more affordable yet comfortable options, hotels like Comfort Hotel Downtown and Luz Plaza are worth considering.
