Pinacoteca

One of the best-curated art exhibitions in the city as well as one of the most important art museums in Brazil, Pinacoteca does an excellent job of displaying some of the best Brazilian artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. The centrepiece of the impressive collection of sculptures includes a statue by Raphael Galvez called "O Brasileiro".

Do & See

Most of São Paulo's main attractions are located in the city centre, the area bounded by the Tietê river on the north, the Pinheiros river to the west, Avenida dos Bandeirantes on the south and Avenida Salim Farah Maluf to the east. As the country's largest mega-metropolis, São Paulo has something for everyone–the culture vulture, the jazz fan, the clubber, the football fanatic, and the gourmand. To take in the scale of São Paulo's history visit Pátio do Colégio to see its beginnings. Then visit the legendary Brazilian architect and designer of Brasília, Oscar Niemeyer's space-age OCA museum. For a breathtaking glimpse of where São Paulo is going, you cannot beat the view from the top of the Italia Building on Avenida Ipiranga at the corner of Avenida São Luís.
