About Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil, the chosen base for nearly 75% of all fairs and congresses held in the country. It is known throughout the country as the “business capital”. Although this is a well-deserved title, it does not reveal everything else this great metropolis has to offer. Here, it is fundamental to underscore its restaurants, its intense nightlife and the busy artistic calendar. These are responsible for prolonging the stays of those visitors who arrive in the city only to work or to participate in events and who end up surrendering to these wonders.

Climate in Sao Paulo
Throughout most of the year, the climate in Sao Paulo is mild, with maximum temperatures of around 24ºC during the day, and 18/19ºC at night. It is warm from November thru March, and the temperature can reach 28 or 30ºC during the day. During these months, it is common to have torrential rains almost every afternoon that sometimes cause flooding in the lower sections of downtown and complicate traffic throughout the city. Do not leave home without an umbrella during this period. In the winter months (June and July), it can get very cold, with temperatures dropping to 6ºC.
