Everything You Should Know About the PPPoker World Championship

Breathe in the heart of the city on Avenida Paulista

Avenida Paulista is easily accessible by subway and the bus lines of the city and attracts thousands of visitors and tourists each day.

Take in some culture at Pinacoteca

Established in 1905, the Pinacoteca do Estado de S?o Paulo is one of the most important art museums in Brazil. With exposed brick walls and a large, two-story atrium, it is also one of the oldest having been founded in 1905 and established as a state museum in 1911.

It attracts almost 400,000 visitors each year and houses a wide-ranging collection of Brazilian art, including paintings, sculptures and decorative arts.



Enjoy the street-art on Beco do Batman

For many cities around the world, a narrow alleyway might not be the most eye-catching of tourist destinations. However, this one in particular in the Vila Madalena neighbourhood of S?o Paulo is well-known among tourists for its dense concentration of graffiti.

Beco do Batman (Batman's Alleyway) is continually renovated and cared for by local community members, with its walls full of colourful and creative graffiti pieces that are best enjoyed on foot.
