Best Tours & activities in São Paulo (2026)

A guided tour is one of the best ways to make sense of a city as big as São Paulo. SP Free Walking Tour runs tip-based walks of the old downtown, Vila Madalena and Avenida Paulista, with English tours on several days of the week, and they make a good introduction early in a trip. Book through the links on its website.

Football is a passion in São Paulo, and the city's big three clubs all open their stadiums to visitors. The MorumBIS Tour, run by São Paulo FC's official travel agency, visits the memorial, dressing room and tunnel. The Allianz Parque Experience Tour at Palmeiras's stadium includes the press room and pitch, with a penalty challenge at weekends, and the Tour Casa do Povo at Corinthians's Neo Química Arena, opened in 2014, is led by fan hosts. Combine one of them with the Museu do Futebol for the full story.

For a different perspective, Sampa Sky offers glass-floored decks that slide out from the 42nd floor of the Mirante do Vale building, 150 metres above the historic centre. Book tickets online for all of these, check schedules around match days and events, and allow plenty of travel time between districts.
