Tailor made holiday: Sao Paulo is one of the 'most exciting cities in the world'

People planning to take a tailor made holiday to Brazil might be interested to know that the country is home to "one of the most exciting cities" in the world: Sao Paulo.

Liz Hoggard wrote in the Evening Standard about her experience in the city, the largest in the southern hemisphere, which is ideal for those on luxury holidays.

"With its Miami meets Fifth Avenue vibe (the financial district rivals New York), Sao Paulo is one of the most exciting - and wealthiest - cities in the world," she said.

"It's also a city for art lovers - from the Paula Rego retrospective at the elegant neoclassical Pinacoteca museum … to the edgy contemporary galleries and graffiti studios."

Other cultural attractions in the Brazilian city include the Instituto Cultural Tomie Ohtake - an arts centre - and a fitting museum all about the history of the country's national sport: football.
