São Paulo is a very large city and there is an abundance of various accommodation options all around the city that you can choose from. 3rd Latin American SDEWES Conference venue is:
When deciding where to stay in Sao Paulo, the best area to stay in is the Jardins district. This is a safe, upscale neighbourhood with plenty of excellent restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world. Transport links are good, with the Paulista metro line nearby. Jardins is one of only a couple that is in walking distance of the city centre. Being based in Jardins means that you aren’t far from other major attractions in the city like the Ibirapuera Park, which is Sao Paulo’s answer to New York’s Central Park with a size of 2 million square metres where you will find numerous cycle and walking paths that take you to pleasant lagoons, large green spaces, playgrounds, various stages used for events, a free outdoor library, a couple of buildings that usually host travelling art exhibitions and some popular museums like the Museum of Modern Art and the fascinating Afro-Brazil Museum.
Itaim Bibi is one of the coolest neighbourhoods in Sao Paulo and is only 7 km from the iconic Paulista Avenue. There is no subway here, but not to worry, as this is one of the most walkable areas in the city! It's extremely busy 24/7 partially because it’s home to the largest concentration of modern tech companies in the world and several top modelling agencies. This means the streets are always busy day and night, so safety generally isn’t an issue.
You are sure to have a good time in Bela Vista, which has all sorts of events going on as it is one of the most popular spots for nightlife with lots of restaurants to pick from and the same goes for pubs, clubs and hotels. Funnily enough, this area has a strong Italian influence and it is here that you will find the best pizzerias in the city as well as other European cuisines.
The Republica district covers the whole historical centre and therefore has many places to visit, including Edificio Italia, which consists of a bar and restaurant as well as shops but has the best views in the area as it has 44 floors. There are also plenty of important churches, museums, theatres, culture centres and lots of shopping to do along Rua Coronel de Toledo.
