For the "Gringos"

Getting Around

We highly recommend using Uber during your stay in São Paulo. It’s safe, reliable, and very affordable compared to prices in Europe or the US.

We don’t recommend renting a car. São Paulo’s traffic is famously challenging, and parking can be both complicated and costly. With Uber, you won’t need to worry about directions, traffic, or parking- it will take you wherever you need to go with ease.
