No doubt Mercado Municipal do São Paulo is a landmark that can’t be missed as a tourist to the city. The colonial styled architecture and the rich history of the surrounding area makes it a tourist magnet. Inside is filled up with tourists over the fruit, souvenir shops and the traditional (mostly) restaurants. On weekends it is full of people so I would prefer going there in a weekday to enjoy being there.

Best soccer (football, futebol) stadium in the city. In the middle of a very nice, residential neighborhood, it's easy to get to and safe to walk around. Home of Brazil's most victorious team, Sao Paulo FC, ( as we call it, "tricolor" because of the teams' three-colored jersey ) it's a landmark spot. Go preferably when there's a match between SPFC and atraditional rival from some other state, in a game known as a "classico". When there's a coonfrontation with one of the other three big teams from the city, there's usually an unsafer environment because of the rivalry, so be sure to go with a local and to stay on the benches - arquibancadas - to get what a soccer match in Brazil really is like.

Parque Estadual da Cantareira - At the foot of the mountain of Nucleo Pedra Grande there is a small wooden house, which is a museum. It is very interesting and has some farming supplies on display, which is very creative.
