Consolação Cemetery

One of the few green areas in the Center, it contains bronze statues by France artists, some built into fountains.

One of the country's most important and iconic stadiums, Estádio do Pacaembu is an art deco giant built in 1940, and 10 years later hosted six matches of the 1950 FIFA World Cup. Since then, it has hosted several final matches for national and continental tournaments, alongside large concerts for famous performers, such as Paul McCartney, Iron Maiden, Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. Nowadays, it also houses a museum all about the sport.

Ran by Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP), an arts university. Houses a variety of temporary exhibitions.

Focused on showcasing Latin American artists, with the entrance changing its painting whenever there's a new exhibition. Ironically, despite being named "Red Gallery", the walls are mostly white.

Built in the neo-gothic style in 1909, when its surroundings were still semi-rural and poor. Contains paintings of Benedito Calixto and Oscar Pereira da Silva.

The Minhocão ("Big Worm"), a 2.7-km-long highway opened in 1970, is considered to be a monument to poor urban planning and to the chaotic growth of the city in a not-so-distant past. Its construction turned a large portion of the city center into a degraded area. The highway is closed to cars, but open for pedestrians and bicycles, Monday to Friday from 20:00 to 7:00, Saturdays starting from 15:00 and the entirety of Sunday. Over the Minhocão, you have a unique view of the west part of the city center, mostly the Santa Cecília district. Seeing the Minhocão from below is also interesting, as it has been covered with works of art.
