Flying to São Paulo

There is a certain exotic quality to saying you are going to Brazil or catching a flight São Paulo bound. The place conjures up images of music you have to dance to, beaches to be seen on and the best coffee in the world.

To really appreciate Brazil, a three week stay is required at least. This give you the chance to arrive in style on your flights São Paulo bound and explore the city and its environs before heading into the jungle. If you do not have the luxury of so long, concentrate on one city and try to really get to know it.

Embarking on flights São Paulo bound

If you are on an international flight São Paulo airport, also known as Guarulhos, is where you are likely to land. Once you have disembarked from your flight São Paulo is about 30km away to the west. Many ‘airport service’ buses leave from the airport for the city centre every half an hour or there is a taxi rank.

Shopping in São Paulo

Once off your flight, São Paulo is waiting to be explored and shopping is often top of the list. For a grand experience, make your way to Daslu, a completely extravagant shopping emporium, but do not dare to walk! It is against the rules to arrive on foot so most have to take a taxi.

If you are feeling especially generous, a helicopter is really the way to make an entrance, landing on the building’s rooftop heliport. São Paulo has the dubious honour of being the city with the most number of private helicopters, over 300 at the last count. It would certainly put a different spin on any flights São Paulo offers.

If a bargain is what you came for, head for Rua 25 de Marco, north of the centre, where you will find an array of discounted goods from all over the world. Markets are always a good bet for having a mooch around and picking up some souvenirs or antiques. Then on your homeward flight São Paulo will remain in your thoughts because of all the purchases you acquired.
