Information & Tips for Sao Paulo
Sao Paulo is an important economic and cultural center in Brazil and at the same time the most populous city in the country with 11 million inhabitants and a metropolitan region of 20 million.
The city is comparatively easy to reach from Europe, and the major hub airports are served by numerous European and Brazilian airlines. Bargains are not as common as to Rio de Janeiro, but there are still good offers.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Sao Paulo is between March and May and between October and November. At this time of year, the weather is warm, and precipitation is comparatively low.
From the airport to the city
You can get a taxi for about 23€-28€. Note that Guarulhos International Airport, which serves most international flights, is located pretty far outside the city and it can take between 45 minutes and 3 hours to get to the city center depending on traffic conditions!

The Hotel
The Mercure Sao Paulo Jardins is a 4-star hotel and part of the Accor brand. It is located less than 15 minutes (walking) away from the São Paulo Museum of Art. The hotel has a fitness centre and also offers childcare.
Previous guests have left good reviews, many of them praising the very good location. Merely the elevators have received some criticism as they sometimes didn’t work or were smelly.
You’d be staying in the Cerqueira César neighbourhood (a quite popular location for tourists), meaning that there are plenty of restaurants and sights very close to the hotel, e.g. the Museu da Imagem e do Som de São Paulo (MIS) is less than a 25-minute walk away. The international airport (GRU) is merely a 30-minute drive away, which should only cost you roughly R$65 (~€12) if you call an Uber.
Price Check
Google states that the price is currently roughly 30% lower than usual. We can’t really confirm if that number is precisely correct as the hotel seems to have lowered its prices for the entire year and all OTAs have lowered their prices accordingly. Overall, however, considering the good reviews, very good location, the fact that the rate is refundable, and that a 4-star Mercure is not some unknown no-name hotel, the price seems very good.
