Obelisco do Ibirapuera - The Ibirapuera Obelisk is a 72-meter monument honoring the fighters of the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932. Situated in Ibirapuera Park, it also serves as a mausoleum. Designed by Galileo Ugo Emendabili, it is the largest obelisk in Brazil.

Monument to the Bandeiras - The Monument to the Flags, crafted by sculptor Victor Brecheret, is one of São Paulo’s most iconic landmarks. Unveiled in 1953, it stands in front of Ibirapuera Park, in Plaza Armando de Salles Oliveira, adjacent to the Legislative Assembly. The granite sculpture, approximately 50 meters long, depicts the bandeirantes, who were explorers of Brazil’s interior in the 17th and 18th centuries. The artwork represents a diverse group of people—Portuguese, indigenous, and African—pulling a stone canoe, symbolizing the collective effort in expeditions for wealth and territorial expansion. The physical strength, movement, and expression of the figures convey a sense of heroic effort, while today the monument also invites critical reflection on the violent and colonizing nature of these expeditions.

Batman Alley - Nestled in the alleys of the Vila Madalena neighborhood, Batman Alley is one of São Paulo’s most vibrant and colorful spots. This open-air urban art museum features walls entirely covered with graffiti that is constantly evolving. The name originated in the 1980s when a Batman drawing appeared on one of the walls, and since then, artists from Brazil and around the world have transformed the alley into a lively, democratic gallery. In addition to the visual arts, the area reflects the relaxed atmosphere of the region, surrounded by cafes, alternative shops, and bars, making it one of the city’s most spontaneous attractions.

Liberdade - Liberdade is one of São Paulo’s most traditional and distinctive neighborhoods, known for its strong Japanese cultural influence and other Asian communities. As visitors stroll through its streets, they will notice the red lanterns, kanji signposts, and unique architecture that lend a special charm to the area. The neighborhood began as an immigrant arrival point in the early 20th century and today is a hub of commerce, gastronomy, and cultural events, such as the renowned Chinese New Year Festival. Despite its Eastern ambiance, Liberdade also preserves historical landmarks, including ancient churches and the old hanging cemetery, offering a unique blend of past and present.
