      It is just a better idea to not wear anything gold or looks valuable… probably best to just leave that stuff at your place before going out, it does help avoid potential problems. I brought my phone and cash in a ziplock bag. In busy areas just have your belonging secure on you. If you look like an easy target with your phone half hanging out of your pocket then you would be a target for theft.

    If people are into biking they should rent a bike on Faria Lima avenue. You can ride it to multiple parks from there. Villa-Lobos Park on one end and Ibirapuera Park on the other end. With Parque do Povo in between. Also riding the bikeway near the Pinheiros river is really cool. Kind of stinky sometimes but really cool regardless.

    I would say the biggest mistakes you can make in São Paulo is not taking Ubers at night. I trust them way more than a random cab you would flag in the street. There are quite a few other ones but you mentioned them. Well actually, one other is not going up a high rise platform to view how immense the city actually is. We went to Farol Santander, well worth the price. Btw, Alex and I were staying quite nearby the mercado when we went.

    Just got back from a two week trip to Sao Paulo and Campos do Jordao, as a gringo who doesn't speak much Portuguese I loved the receptiveness of the people of Sao Paulo. Just be respectful and courteous and you will feel like you belong. Of course it helps a lot to learn the basics of the language. As a guy who grew up far into the rural hills of Pennsylvania in a nice quiet area, the city can definitely trigger an anxious response just like any other city but remember it is a super busy and hustle bustle city. Don't let it overwhelm you. The food is absolutely amazing, take his advice here to visit street markets and restaurants here you will not regret it! As far as dressing up, don't take his words at face value. I dress like a bum and as long as you have good hygiene and are handsome you will be easily accepted, especially with a smile on your face, also you make yourself less of a target for crime in the poorer areas. Keep your phone away. and dont use cash use an international credit card with no foreign transaction fees. easy to cancel and get your money back if it gets stolen, cash can never be recovered!

    Just a repair here, be careful when trying the food at Mercado municipal. You're into a gigantic haggling with the salespeople and it's pretty easy to get stuck there until you buy something. Oh, and the price there is insanely marked up, there's a street market in the afternoon, just outside it and you're going to find better pricing on fruits and vegetables.
    If you're really up to fruits, vegetables, 'pastel' and 'caldo de cana', just look up for the Feira Livre scheduling, they happen from Tuesday to Sunday all over the city and it's a lot lighter in your pocket.

    No question that S.P. is the food capital of South America. Some of the best food I’ve ever tasted has been at restaurants here. The Jardins area is overall the nicest and safest though you still need to be careful especially with your phones. Uber is ridiculously cheap and overall reliable. I’ve never had any problems checking in at GRU (business class) however immigration on arrival can take ages so if you’ve got a connecting flight allow at least 3 hours layover.

It covers large parts of the city, mainly the main touristics points). A lot of culture, art and excellent food here. People is quite nice and you have fine services. No beaches. Mortadela sandwich and Pastel is not only an excellent street food, it is a ritual! Do not miss it for any reason, honestly! We are a country of immigrants, just check my name and my face, I am a "mineiro" (Minas Gerais) who lives in São Paulo.

    Sao Paulo is more safe than Rio, there is no cheating street vendors like in Rio's beaches. Avoid walk in old downtown alone (Republica, Anhangabau, Se and Luz). Bexiga is the italian district, Liberdade is the asian district. Eastern and Southern district are less touristic, but you can see the true people living in this city. Be welcome to this great and chaotic city.

    Traffic can be very tough yes, but our public transportation network is one of the best in the world. The metro is modern, clean and efficient and covers a good deal of the city - not everything on account of being the largest city outside of Asia, third in the world -, and where it doesn't go you can easily get by bus most of the time. We also have great bike lanes coverage, and it's easy to walk in most places as well.

    From a foreign perspective, about flights, you are really on the money. The problem with Brazil is that most of Foreign flights not only depart only from T3 but all round the same time. It is usual for T3 to be very quiet on Departures in the morning and lunchtime just to be literally hell during later afternoon and evening when the foreign airlines have their flights. In Fact, the worst time to depart is between 16:00 and 20:00. Airport is very busy, shops are crowded and it takes ages to go through security. Patience and arriving early is key

    No beaches in São Paulo?

    São Paulo state has 400 miles of coastline and you can be on most beaches within a one or two hour drive either by car or bus!
    As the city of São Paulo like Washington DC itself is not on this coastline it's absolutely worth it to visit and enjoy a few days on one of the marvelous beaches like Ubatuba or Felix beach as well!

    I am Brazilian living in the US for a long time and I can’t get over that the toilet paper can’t be flushed in Brazil. It is really gross. Also, the “flanelinhas”, the guys that extort money to “watch” your vehicle in the streets, bothers me a lot. You have no choice but pay them or “else”.
