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.

Individuals moving to the city of São Paulo should expect long distances between places and neighborhoods and should be prepared to face a lot of traffic. People also should know that public transportation does not operate 24 hours a day, so those who use this kind of transport should be aware of the time.

São Paulo does not have a beach however it is not far from one, it is less than two hours from the north coast and around half an hour from the south coast, which has beaches with crystal clear waters, urban beaches full of structure and even beaches on islands. The Subway stations, buses and trains make you go from south to north, from east to west in less time than you can imagine. With all this accessibility, you will never get tired of Sao Paulo, because there will always be places to see and new things to do.

It is a big city, so be ready to rely constantly on public transportation. When I first moved here I insisted on walking long walks or taking the subway everyday. It was a good learning experience, now I feel like I know the city better than most people. São Paulo is also a multicultural city, so I recommend going to as many cultural events as you can.

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.

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.

HELPFUL REPORT

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.
