Things to Do in Sao Paulo

The City and The State

You can distinguish someone who belongs to the city of Sao Paulo because they are called paulistanos, while a Sao Paulo state resident is dubbed a paulista. But all Sao Paulo residents know the Sao Paulo motto which is “I am not led, I lead” in English.

Business and services now contribute in a huge way to this Brazilian city’s economy. Music of many genres thrive in Sao Paulo, from samba to psychedelic rock, to classical and heavy metal. Paulistanos and paulistas love football, race car driving, tennis, basketball, and volleyball - so, many international sports events are hosted here.
