Ibirapuera Park
Joggers, cyclists, trees, and lakes: this sprawling park is Sao Paulo’s version of London’s Hyde Park. The sounds of the city are always close by but Ibirapuera is easy on the soul. Pavilions and plazas designed by award-winning Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer, play a starring role in Sao Paulo’s renowned Bienal, an art exhibition held on even-numbered years. The park is home to several other museums, including the excellent Museu de Arte Moderna featuring a fine collection of Brazilian modernists and thought-provoking temporary installations.
