Curiosities about São Paulo

Updated: Nov 15, 2022

Did you know? São Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world and has impressive numbers! We will see?





1) São Paulo is the second city that consumes the most pizza in the world! New York is first in the ranking and São Paulo comes after. Paulistanos consume more than 700 pizzas per minute, according to data from the São Paulo Convention & Visitors Bureau. It's a lot of love for Italian invention, yes, or for sure?


2) São Paulo is the city with the largest number of helipads in the world. The city is considered the helicopter capital of the world. And for what reason? There are more than 410 helicopters across the city. But, between us: with the volume of cars, motorcycles and buses all over the city, who wouldn't want a private helicopter?


3) São Paulo is a city that breathes culture. The city has more than 110 museums, with exhibitions for all tastes. In addition to museums, São Paulo also has more than 160 theaters, many concert halls and cultural centers. São Paulo is the type of city where you can freely choose any type of cultural program and any day of the week. It's Monday-to-Monday culture.


4) A cultural mix. São Paulo is cosmopolitan par excellence and has surprising stories of foreigners who made the city's history in the past (see the series "Gigantes do Brasil" on the History Channel). The city concentrates the largest community of Japanese people outside of Japan. Descendants of Italians and Lebanese also make up the city's scenery, outside their respective countries of origin.


5) São Paulo's subway is considered one of the best in the world. The São Paulo subway is among the 10 best in the world and from this list it is the only one in Latin America. The subway has a network of 77 km, 6 lines and 66 stations and transports 895 million people a year! Lots of people, no?
