Day 01
Downtown São Paulo Bike Ride through Historic and Cultural Districts
- Begin the tour at Largo do Arouche, a bohemian neighborhood and an important LGBTQIA+ community spot in São Paulo. Through the bike paths, explore a region recognized for its classic restaurants, bars, and urban art murals.
- Then head to Bom Retiro, a traditional immigrant neighborhood with a strong influence from the textile industry.
- Visit Luz Station, the Pinacoteca, and Parque da Luz, the first public park in São Paulo. Depending on the day and the movement in the area, pass through the Municipal Market, where it may be possible to get to know - and taste - some exotic Brazilian fruits.
- Continue to the historic center and cross Vale do Anhangabaú, surrounded by famous buildings, old overpasses, and modern murals. In the oldest part of the city, see important landmarks and hear how a small village founded by Jesuit priests developed over time.
- After visiting the squares, streets, and alleys of the historic center, head to Liberdade, a region known as the Japanese neighborhood, and hear about its strong Oriental influence as well as stories of the Afro-Brazilian community.
- To finish the bike tour, go to Praça Roosevelt, another bohemian area with theaters, bars, and restaurants, located just a few blocks from the final destination. On holidays, weekends, and during the night bike tour, it is possible to ride on the Minhocão, a famous overpass closed to cars on these days and used by residents, visitors, and tourists for walks and physical activities.
