Visit Sao Paulo's Attractions by Subway

The more relaxed pace of weekends in São Paulo opens up all kinds of fun opportunities for travelers. With lower rates and special packages at some of the city's best hotels, great nightlife and fewer crowds in the streets, São Paulo reveals its friendlier face and it gets easier to understand its magic.

A great way to visit is Turismetro, a totally affordable subway tour - all you pay is the price of the train tickets you need. There are several options which will take you to museums, cultural centers, and historic buildings.

Some of the attractions are in the downtown area, where you can shop at the Sunday fair at Republica Square and view the city's skyline from the top of the Italia Building. You can take the subway tour and come back to your favorite spots for a more leisurely visit.
