Images of São Paulo - Tourism Brazil

The city of São Paulo, in southeastern Brazil (capital of the state of São Paulo), is the most populous city in South America and one of the largest cities in the world. This metropolis has the largest economy in the Southern Hemisphere.

The 20th century marked the dizzying prosperity of the State of São Paulo. Its capital emerged as one of the largest cities in the world and a financial power. In the 21st century, São Paulo and the Southeast Region fell out of step with the Brazilian economic growth, losing space, increasingly, to other regions of the country.
