Brazil’s busiest city,  Sao Paulo has a world-renowned gastronomical scene, 24/7 clubbing and a vibrant cultural movement. There’s so much bursting from the seams of all those towering grey skyscrapers.

Here’s 7 of the most Instagrammable spots in the “concrete jungle”(Sao Paulo’s nickname)…

1. Terraço Italia

To understand the sheer vastness of Sao Paulo you have to see it from above. The best place to do so? The swanky Terraco Italia, a candlelit bar and restaurant with a live pianist.

2. Beco do Batman

‘Batman’s Alley’ has become a haven for graffiti lovers in the city since the 1980s. It’s now the biggest open-air street gallery in Sao Paulo and is a must-see for a selfie.

Don’t miss the famous Peacock painting which you will see all over Instagram.

3. Ponte Estaiada Morumbi

For a seriously cool view of the city’s best architecture, go to the Brooklin neighborhood to the 138m high Estaiada Morumbi bridge. To take the best photographs, shoot at night when the bridge lights up in reds, greens and blues.
