This half-day tour is just long enough for you to get an idea of the vast size of the world’s fifth largest city. Although the ranking of the world’s largest cities is fiercely disputed and forever changing, official estimates place São Paulo’s metropolitan population at a staggering 18 million.

The city is just about as diverse as its size suggests: from the historic city centre and Chinatown to Bela Vista (the Italian quarter) and the new financial district, São Paulo is a conglomeration of contrasting suburbs and neighbourhoods, a miniature world in its own right. The excursion visits local landmarks such as MASP Art Museum, Ibirapuara Park, Praça da Republica, the Butantan Institute and the Governor’s Palace, to give you a glimpse of the city’s numerous architectural and cultural treasures.
