The 10 Best Things to do in Bom Retiro, State of Sao Paulo (SP)

October 5, 2021 Florencio Paulino

The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

It was founded in 1905 by the State Government of São Paulo and it is the oldest art museum in the city. It is installed in the old building of the Arts and Crafts College, designed in the late nineteenth century by the architect Ramos de Azevedo. In the 1990's it underwent an extensive renovation with the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha's project. Pinacoteca hosts about thirty exhibitions and receives about 450,000 visitors yearly. The museum's main focus is to promote to general public a better experience with visual arts with its collection, building and historical relevance.

It's worth a visit: interesting pieces of art, cafeteria and a good bunch of helpful volunteers that will guide you through the exhibits. Just as a suggestion: avoid the park located just behind the building itself, as you may find some of the characters (homeless and drug addicts) a little bit intimidating.

Museu De Arte Sacra De Sao Paulo

Reviewed By 838peterk838 - North Vancouver, Canada

The collection here is quite small and you can thoroughly check out everything in an hour or less.Many of the pieces are very unusual and very interesting.For example, there is a graphic, gory statue of Christ on the cross , a sizeable collection of silver artifacts including a big staff and a crown plus some very well exucuted paintings in a sort of naive/ folk style.When viewing these pieces it very quickly becomes apparent that they are not just art for art's sake; they are at least partly meant to bring stories from the bible alive and to inspire people , and , whether or not you are religious , they are undeniably very well designed for this purpose.In a way, this museum , its contents and its grounds , are a sort of lesson in the history of Sao Paulo and Brazil.A peaceful oasis in the megalopolis.

Municipal Market of Sao Paulo

Housed in a stunning example of eclectic industrial architecture, the Mercado Municipal de São Paulo — nicknamed the Mercadão — has thousands of food items on offer, literally from soup to nuts. Lush tropical and temperate fruits from every season, choice cuts of meats and fish, and hearty prepared foods,such as the renowned and enormous mortadella (bologna) sandwich, complete the market's catalog of wares, all for sale in a boisterous, welcoming atmosphere. The surrounding area can be a bit sketchy, but the sights and flavors more than make up for the journey downtown.
