Day by day
Meet your tour guide in the city and visit the Open Air Museum of Urban Art, a mandatory stop when talking about street art in São Paulo. Located in the northern zone of the city, this area is considered one of the cradles of the movement. The columns of the subway line were transformed by artists, inspiring the local government to renovate this once-abandoned area.
Explore the central area of the city and traditional neighbourhoods such as Arouche, Luz, Cambuci, and Santa Cecília to find big murals replacing old advertising billboards on the sides of buildings. At the same time, learn about the controversial street art style known locally as "Pixo," or tagging.
Visit the famous Batman's Alley and take a stroll through the surrounding area of art galleries that show how street art became popular and transformed this neighbourhood into one of the most important touristic points in São Paulo.
