In Sao Paulo you should be concerned about security. Don’t use your phone walking on streets and be careful if you decide to install your bank’s app on your phone. Don’t trust people and be suspicious if someone tries to help you. Also, the traffic is insane. Try to live near your work.

São Paulo is a massive and diverse city. Whomever comes here must be aware of crime, extraordinary traffic and the rapidly changing weather. You can experience windy dry cold, tropical sunny heat and torrential rain all in the same day. Spending 3 hours in traffic isn’t unheard of. Crime is rife, you should always have your wits about you.

São Paulo is a large, crowded city. Some describe it as a “concrete jungle”. The level of public safety is mediocre, but many consider the access to cultural resources to be worth the risk. It is the largest city in South America, and one of the largest in the world.

São Paulo is the biggest, most populated city of Brazil. be prepared for busy streets and crazy rush-hour traffic. It is a beautiful city where you can find everything you need; restaurants, malls, and nightlife. However, you must know that this is also a dangerous city, so do not walk around carrying your bag loosely.

São Paulo is the most populated city of Brazil. It is often considered the business capital of our country, as most of the companies reside here, and having the highest GDP in Brazil. São Paulo has a vast range of cultural activities, from museums to various kinds of gastronomic experiences from different countries. Although it is a city that I enjoy living in, it has many problems related to social inequality and, consequently, public security.

For those moving to são paulo, it is important to know the less dangerous neighborhoods, parks, leisure areas, hospitals and commerce in general. It is important to know where can find more jobs and all the public transports. I would also talk about how people behave and specific things like food in the city.

Lots of criminality robberies, almost no security, a dangerous city but very good jobs, a very beautiful city with beautiful sights, the city itself has a lot of pollution many pedestrians and besides that the country has absurd prices on consumers and is each trying to take advantage.
