Getting Around

Sao Paulo is big—we mean really big. Spanning over 3,000 square miles, the city stretches all the way to the horizon in just about every direction.

With that size comes sizeable traffic. The city’s roadways are packed during rush hours that last more than just an hour or two.

Plan your travel after 10am to minimize your time in traffic. Our touring started every day after 10 a.m. and we were able to avoid the worst of the rush.

Don’t even think about renting a car. Whether this is purely a romantic trip or you're squeezing in some romance on a business trip, you'll find that the city's traffic is too difficult for newcomers to navigate. Ask your hotel to recommend a transport company.

Consider the metro as well. The city has a modern, underground subway linking some (but not yet all) areas.
