São Paulo Cathedral

São Paulo, Brazil

4.5 (0)

Overview

Cathedral in Brazil. It lies in southeastern Brazil, most comfortable in the dry winter months from June to August.

Why visit: Portuguese baroque in gold leaf and soapstone, and Niemeyer's concrete-and-glass modernism — four centuries apart, both remarkable.

Things to do

›Step inside — the plain exteriors often hide gilded baroque interiors
›Check mass times before visiting as a sightseer
›Dress modestly
›Look for the soapstone prophets and painted ceilings in Minas Gerais
