Known as the “Wonderful City”, Rio de Janeiro offers attractions that have rendered the city international fame. Who has never heard about carnival in Rio, the most amazing popular party in the world?

Or who has never heard about Sugar Loaf Mountain and the statue of Christ Redeemer? Or about the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, that have inspired musicians from all over the world? Or, also, who has never heard about the Tijuca National Park – the largest urban area natural preservation area in the Country? Rio is all that. And much more.

The city was the Brazilian capital until 1960 – when Brasilia, the current capital, was inaugurated. Because it was the capital, concentrating much power, the city’s architectonic traces include luxurious and imposing constructions – that sheltered the nobility and other important personages of those times. Since the city’s weather is hot and pleasant all through the year, Rio does not depend on seasons to attract visitors. Its attractions can be appreciated any time of the year.

Whoever visits Rio soon finds out that his/her agenda is always full – that is the pride of the local population. There is always something to be done in the city, from exhibitions, theater plays, dance and music shows to sports events for all tastes – such as free flying, much appreciated by all those who enjoy strong sensations on board a hang glider floating above the most famous landscapes of Rio. But the Wonderful City has yet a wide range of other attractions to offer, such as cultural centers, numberless museums, churches, famous confectioners’, old streetcars and beaches – many beaches. Far from the beaches
Besides the millions of visitors that thrive for the landscapes and natural beauties and the wide range of culture and history offered by this especially Brazilian city, a different type of tourist has been increasingly attracted to Rio in the last few years: the business tourist. The capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro is also one of the greatest business centers in the Country, being constantly chosen to host important national and international conferences, congresses and meetings.

Do you know São Paulo? It is Beautiful, wealthy, intellectual, inclusive, vibrant, sports-loving, cultural, sentimental, romantic, modern, sophisticated, self-confident and professional, São Paulo is all of these and more: no single adjective can accurately describe this world-renowned megacity.
Forged from a melting pot of nationalities, cultures, beliefs, philosophies and ideals, this huge and pioneering metropolis is truly cosmopolitan by vocation and choice. It’s Italian, German, Jewish, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, French, African, Arab, Spanish, Latino, Brazilian and Paulistano. These and so many other facets are reflected in the architecture of the buildings, the streets, the refined tastes of the city’s culinary delights and in the styles and mannerisms of a people who never stop as they boldly create the city’s history, day after day.
The grandeur of São Paulo is demonstrated in many ways. The city houses Latin America’s largest number of hotel and health care facilities, and is also

Brazil

’s cultural centre. It is considered one of the world’s dining capitals, is recognized worldwide as a leading destination for major events, trade fairs and expositions, and is home to the country’s finest academic centres and research institutes.
São Paulo is one of few places where the past and present are seamlessly interwoven. The city has witnessed events from Brazilian Independence to political and cultural revolutions and pro-democracy protests. It is also home to hundreds of cinemas, museums, theatres, cultural heritage sites, parks, performance halls, amusement and theme parks, restaurants, bars, hotels, event spaces, street fairs, shopping centres and specialized retail districts.
Each year about ten million visitors come to do business, go shopping or simply enjoy the city’s world class culture. Here, they experience an around-the-clock metropolis and a lifestyle that mixes work and pleasure like they were two sides of the same coin. Capital city of a state the size of the

United Kingdom

, with a population similar to

Spain

’s, and generating almost half of

Brazil

’s economic output, São Paulo has become

Brazil

’s foremost tourism destination. That’s why we proudly invite you to:
