What to do and see in Centro, State of Sao Paulo (SP): The Best Museums

January 20, 2022 Misti Hsu

The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil

Occupying the historic headquarters of Brazil's largest bank, the CCBB features an ever-changing program of art exhibitions, photography, theater, documentaries and feature films, and other engaging cultural manifestations. The building itself is a Baroque jewel, situated in the old financial district of São Paulo, and avant-garde events, such as a recent blaxploitation film retrospective, keep the CCBB on every hip Paulistano's cultural agenda.

This place is nice for its arquitecture, exibitions, music, theatre and a whole range of cultural initiatives. Also, there is a nice and cozy coffee shop with specialty coffee and sweets. It is beautiful outside and inside and it is worth a visit.

Caixa Cultural

One of the city's many cultural foundations backed by a major Brazilian bank, downtown's CAIXA Cultural offers a rotating mix of international and Brazilian photo and art exhibitions, film retrospectives, concerts and theatrical performances that are always impactful and always free. Recent exhibitions have included French journalist Philippe Castetbon's “The Condemned,” a poignant photography presentation of gay men from countries where their sexuality could mean jail or even death, and the colorfully geometric “visually poetic” works of visual artist Almandrade, from the northeastern state of Bahia.
