Book a window seat on your flight to Sao Paulo and take in the awe-inspiring view of high rises as you approach the Sao Paulo airport. Originally a mission station set up in 1554 by Jesuit priests on the banks of the Rio Tiete, the city of Sao Paulo today is an awesome megalopolis, and the industrial and commercial powerhouse of Brazil. The city grew wealthy on coffee cultivation in the mid-19th century, thanks to the rich soil of the region, and the plantation owners took up residence in the bustling regional center. Today 17-million proud Paulistanosca call Sao Paublo home.
Visitors taking flights to Sao Paulo will vacation in the financial center of Brazil and home to Latin America’s largest stock exchange.
Sao Paulo is mild year-round. July is the coolest winter month, when temperatures can go down to the 50s (Fahrenheit). February is the hottest summer month with high temperatures in the low 80s (Fahrenheit). Heavy rains are common from November through March, when it rains nearly every afternoon.
Peak Season:
The business capital of Brazil, 75 percent of the country’s fairs and congresses are held in Sao Paulo so the city is busy year-round.
April through December the city also hosts film and music festivals, and fashion and art exhibits. If you are planning on visiting Campos do Jordao in June or July, book your stay in advance. Sao Paulo flights and hotels book up fast during the summer season so it’s a good idea to book ahead.
In summer, also make reservations for beach vacations as far in advance as possible.
Off Season:
Rain is likely during the winter months, but cheap Sao Paulo flights and accommodations can be found.
Find cheap flights to Sao Paulo
Between Sao Paolo’s convenient public transportation and walking, you won’t have any trouble getting around town. The subway can take you almost anywhere on its two main lines between 5am and midnight. For the rest of the town, you can take a bus. They run frequently, so just flag one down when you need to hop on. During the day the city is safe, but you should check with your hotel about where to walk safely at night. Taxis are the safest way to get around at night. Don’t worry about finding a taxi – there are plenty in Sao Paulo, and they can be hailed on the street or picked up at a taxi stand. Traffic is horrible in the city, to the point that Sao Paulo has the world’s largest fleet of civilian helicopters to get commuters to work. In an attempt to help the traffic, cars are restricted from driving on certain days, according to the last digits of their license plate numbers.
Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), officially called Governador Andre Franco Montoro International Airport, is Sao Paulo’s main international gateway. Located about 18 miles (25km) northeast of Sao Paulo, it is Brazil’s busiest airport, serving almost 27 million passengers in 2010. However, the airport was also rated as having the third-highest number of flight delays among major international airports, with 25 percent of all flights experiencing delays greater than 15 minutes.
Fortunately, these frustrations should soon come to an end as the airport is undergoing extensive development in order to prepare for Brazil’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup in 2014. Plans include the construction of a third runway and a third terminal, as well as an express railway line linking Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International to the city center.
Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport is work in progress. Queues and delays are common and the terminals are in dire need of a makeover. Rest assured, though; 2014 will see the airport rising up to meet international airport standards.
Flights to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport come from destinations around the world, including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Toronto, Beijing, Paris, Dubai, Los Angeles, Johannesburg and New York.
