One of the largest cities in the world, the sprawling metropolis of Sao Paulo is also home to the Brazilian Grand Prix, and its high-altitude, anti-clockwise Interlagos track has been making and breaking F1 champions since the 1970s. Known for their fierce tribal-like loyalty, the local supporters’ energy is contagious, and you'll feel right at home sipping on a caipirinha (Brazil’s potent, cachaca-based cocktail) in the midst of the 80,000 capacity-crowd here. Plus, when race day is over, you're perfectly positioned to explore all that the city, and its surrounding areas, have to offer — from all-you-can eat beef buffets and live samba, to picturesque beaches and rain forests.
