Luggage Storage Sao Paulo

Store Your Luggage Around Sao Paulo With Bounce 

In the southeast area of Brazil, Sao Paulo is the most populated city in the country, with over 18 million residents. Founded in 1511, the city gets its name from the Jesuit missionaries who first settled in the area on the anniversary of the conversion of St. Paul. The beautiful city is located on the Brazilian Highlands, which are ancient crystal rocks that lead to the Tiete River. Even with the vast expanse of landscape in the town, you will be in awe of the skyscrapers in downtown Sao Paulo that make it a major business hub of Brazil. 

Although Sao Paulo surrendered many ancient buildings in favor of new construction, they still have a few fantastic historical sites to see. The Church and Convent of Luz, which was built in 1579, is now the home of the Museum of Sacred Art. You can also visit two other relics, the 1676 Sao Francisco Church and the Carmo Church, built in 1632.

Along with the beauty of the land and historic buildings, the city has fantastic clubs and trendy restaurants that make the nights come alive for locals as well as tourists.

According to the locals, if you cannot find it in Sao Paulo, you cannot find it in Brazil. In other words, this is THE place to shop if you are in South America. Whether you want a department store, street markets, mall, or special boutiques, they have it all in this city. 

• Jardins: For high-end fashion shops and name brand items, stick to the Jardins area. Along Rua Oscar Freire and Alameda Lorena, you can find dozens of shops with the best of the best in the city. The area nearby on Rua Augusta and Rua Haddock Lobo are so chic, they have their own website. For gourmet foods, luxurious gifts, expensive jewelry, and clothing, this is the area to shop. 

• Rua 25 de Março: Looking for a more casual way to shop? Head downtown Sao Paulo along Rua 25 de Marco, where the market stalls and small shops overrun the streets. Both the rich and the poor can find what they want here from toys to socks and towels to lingerie. This is where you will find inexpensive but unique handmade gifts you cannot find anywhere else.

You can find these delicious delights and other fried treats at Bar do Luiz Fernandes on Augusto Tolle.
