Masp — Museum of Art of São Paulo. Although it opened in 1947, Masp has been in its famous building on Avenida Paulista, designed by the Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi, since 1968.

National Ensemble. The building located at the end of Avenida Paulista houses commercial offices and, on the ground floor, a gallery that includes shops, restaurants and even a cinema with two screens, more focused on art films. The main symbol of Conjunto Nacional is the clock located at the top of the building.

Paulista Avenue. The most famous of São Paulo’s thoroughfares was inaugurated on December 8, 1891 as part of a desire to expand the city to regions further away from what is now downtown.

Buenos Aires Park. Initially called a square, the space became a park in 1987 and was listed five years later. There, 73 species of trees were catalogued, including Pau-Brasil, which is at risk of extinction.

Cultural Catavento. Located in Parque D. Pedro II, Catavento is defined as “an interactive space that presents science in an exciting way for children, young people and adults” and was inaugurated in 2009. It continues to be one of the most popular spaces in the city on weekends and holidays.

Pateo do Collegio. The place where São Paulo began its history. In 1554, Father Anchieta arrived at the place from an expedition from the coast and decided to build a lodging that also had space for a college where the Indians could be catechized.

Oca do Ibirapuera. Exhibition space located inside Ibirapuera Park, Oca has more than 10,000 square meters. In the past, it even housed the São Paulo Aeronautics Museum and the Folklore Museum.

Ibirapuera Auditorium. One of the best venues for musical shows in the city, the auditorium was designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer to resemble a large mouth and, with its main stage, the vocal cords. It is now one of the symbols of Ibirapuera Park.

Obelisk of Ibirapuera. Located in front of Ibirapuera Park, the Obelisk is a reference to the men and women who participated in the 1932 uprising against the government of then President Getúlio Vargas. It is 72 meters high and took eight years to build, opening in 1955.

Building 14 Bis. A modernist building from the 1950s, 14 Bis is also known as Treme-Treme for two reasons: one, that the building with 499 apartments swayed in the wind. The other is that “for adults” activities done on the ground floor made the building shake.

Copan Building. Designed in the 1950s by architect Oscar Niemeyer, the iconic and gigantic Copan now has 1,160 apartments divided into six blocks, where more than 2,000 people live. On the ground floor, a gallery holds more than 70 stores.

Altino Arantes Building. Also known as Banespão, for having been the headquarters of the extinct Banespa bank, the building is the seventh tallest in Brazil (the third in São Paulo). Today, it houses the Farol Santander, a space for culture and leisure that allows visitors to 11 of its floors and the observation deck.

Rock Gallery. Known for its stores selling articles related to urban fashion, tattoo studios and, of course, rock music, the building’s official name is Centro Comercial Grandes Galerias and was inaugurated in 1963, on Avenida São João.
