Afternoon – “First Glimpse of this intriguing city” – Ibirapuera Park on a bike

The park as we see today was created in an area covered with pine trees – some still stand for the 4th Centenery of the city of São Paulo in 1954. Here you will see some of the very first Niemeyer buildings – who became worldwide famous for his daring architecture in Brasília. As you take one of the paths see long marquees linking the buildings and a comfort for rainy days. The lovely Japanese pavilion, the Modern Art Museum and the latest “acquisition” the Ibirapuera Auditorium, a concept of entrance by one side passing by a red “tongue” that lifts up and what would be the very end of the theatre – a huge wall that opens to the park, a place for performances in and outdoors and the Manequinho Lopes nursery, the Oca a turned down half sphere among many other. The park is the meeting place for joggers, mommies and prams and people that want to take some time away from it all

Dinner at Bar Brahma
Towns have streets corners that are magic! In São Paulo, the magic is in the heart of historical downtown – at the crossing of Ipiranga and São João. This is the address of Bar Brahma, a “paulistana” institution. Here some discuss politics, others a football dream team, at the other corner, the very young about Brazilian music, while outside the hustle and bustle of this giant city throbs! A welcoming ambience, simple hearty meals and the “chopp” (draft beer) drawn to the perfect zero degrees Celsius. Brahma a beer brand is as famous as any cola drink – you just call to the waiter: “Dá uma Brahma aí!” and you are served.
