Should you be fortunate enough to find yourself in the magnificient Sao Paulo for New Years Eve, then lucky you, you can expect to see some spectacular fireworks and a huge new year street party!
For culture vultures make a beeline for Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil Sao Paulo which has fantastic exhibitions, galleries and theatre and apparently it also does great coffee too!
Take a walk along Avenida Paulista, with its eclectic mix of high rise buildings, boutique shopping and grab a drink and enjoy this bustling district. Every Sunday the traffic is closed off for pedestrians to enjoy walking around and enjoying street performers and vendors.
Sao Paulo is home to a large community of Japanese people (the largest population outside Japan) seek out Liberdade (Japantown), with many Japanese restaurants, stores, Japanese gardens, street decorations and lanterns, traditional food stalls and much more.
Other shopping attractions can be found at the multitude of shopping malls in Sao Paulo, from Patio Higienopolis's Shopping to Iguatemi Sao Paulo.
For something a little more slow paced, take a wander around the beautiful Ibirapuera park where you can have a go at capoeira or take a yoga class, visit museums like MAM (Museum of Modern Art), galleries, or just take a seat and watch the world go by!
Sao Paulo is seen as being a bit quieter than its counterpart Rio, but this is still a great place to be for your NYE celebration.
Follow the crowds and head to Avenida Paulista! The city's famous street, which is 1.7 miles long, blocks off the traffic on New Years Eve to become one huge outdoor stage where around 2 million people gather for an amazing evening of live music and an epic fireworks display at midnight. . We would recommend that you double check locally before making travel plans.
If you want a place to venture to see the fireworks, then make your way to Ibirapuera Park for entertainment and grab a spot on the lawn for the pyrotechnics!
Sao Paulo has some stunning venues offering great New Years Eve parties, check out places like La Luna on R. Pirajucara! Or you can head to the Skye bar at Unique Hotel for some amazing views over Sao Paulo (this gets booked up incredibly quickly).
Head to the beach for an amazing New Year at Toque Toque Beach, or seek out tickets for Banana's Beach Club where you can party all night long with amazing DJs in a stunning setting, perfect to see in the New Year!
Sirena Maresias is another great venue, just 200m from the sea, where you can usher in 2024, with an open bar, finger food and a live stage with top DJs performing. Tickets available here.
If you are out and about in the city on 31st December, you will also see the Sao Silvestre, the annual 15km street race that winds through the city, starting at Av.Paulista, corner with Rua Ministro Rocha and finishing in front of the Casper Libero Foundation.
