About São Paulo
São Paulo is vast, grey and unglamorous at first glance, and then it grows on you completely. It is where Brazilian business, money and talent concentrate, with restaurants and nightlife that outclass anywhere else on the continent. Not a beach city - come for the work and the culture.
