The short list
What Appricio would tell you to do in São Paulo
Park · Vila Mariana
Ibirapuera Park
São Paulo's lungs and its living room — on a Sunday morning the park fills with runners, cyclists, families, and skaters, and the whole city seems to exhale at once.
Restaurant · Centro
Mercado Municipal de São Paulo
The 1933 market hall with stained-glass windows where locals shop for exotic fruits and spices, and everybody — locals and visitors alike — queues at the counter inside for the iconic mortadella sandwich.
Restaurant · Vila Medeiros
Mocotó Vila Medeiros
Order the caldo de mocotó — the collagen-rich trotter broth that gives this place its name — then follow it with whatever the kitchen is doing with the carne seca.
Paulista
Paulista Souvenir
Every Sunday the city's main boulevard closes to traffic and fills with capoeira groups, musicians, skaters, food vendors, and thousands of Paulistanos just taking the street back.
Landmark · Parque Estadual da Cantareira (North Zone)
Parque Estadual Cantareira - Núcleo Pedra Grande
A giant exposed rock at the top of Cantareira Park, São Paulo's vast Atlantic Forest reserve — from here the city spreads south, east, and west without end, a scale that stops most visitors in their tracks.
São Paulo, decided in 30 seconds.
