Pinacoteca is a museum of visual arts, with emphasis on Brazilian production since the nineteenth century. It belongs to the São Paulo State Secretariat of Culture. 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.

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.
starting fr the building structure itself, going through every selling counter, is marvelous, majestic. You may find as from strange fruits from all over Brazil, mainly Amazonia, upto extraordinary mortadella sandwiches, fabolous cod huge snacks ( pastel), tasty italian cheeses, excellent shripms, pork meat, lambs, all you may imagine, is there. Wheneeber I been at Sapulo fr business, I go, at least, two times. Excellent!!!!

Besides telling the history of Brazilian football, the Football Museum, located at Pacaembu Stadium, in São Paulo – foretells Brazil's history. In a playful, fun and very motion way, our visitor is going to understand the reason why football is within all of us. The museum has its visitation routine based on three pillars: emotion, history and on having fun. Pictures, videos, audios and interactivity are the formula that is enthralling visitors. One of the means by narrating such happenings is right from videos, pictures and so on sensorial experiences.
I have been here 7 or 8 times, virtually every time I am in Sao Paulo. My boys love it here. Different sections from traditional to modern, some interactive stuff for the kids, many videos from all World Cups and from the Brazilian superstars of football (Pele, Ronaldo, Garrincha etc.). The museum is in the Arena Pacaembu, a beautiful, old stadium in the middle of the city. There is a museum shop which has the best collection of retro-football-shirts from all over the world which I have seen so far.

Inaugurated in 1998, the Coffee Museum is one of the main touristic attractions of the City of Santos and has as main purpose to preserve and make known the history of coffee in Brazil and in the world. By means of objects, documents and audiovisual media, the Institution shows the public how the evolution of coffee culture and the political, economic and cultural development of the country are closely connected since the second half of the XVIII century and up to our days.
From the port in São Paulo, take a Taxi to the museu do Cafe. We made a deal with the taxi drive to take us return for 60 real. He waited at the museum for approximately an hour. The museum is well worth the visit and an absolute most to have a Brazilian coffee. It is one of the few places you can get a top quality coffee as their best beans are exported. Enjoy!!!
