The city of São Paulo hosts some of the largest and most traditional soccer clubs in
Brazil. It is a good idea to save a day in the capital to visit some of the stadiums of such clubs,
as Cícero Pompeu de Toledo Stadium, the so-called Morumbi, and the newly-opened Arena
Palestra. Do not miss Museu do Futebol [Soccer Museum], a modern museum dedicated to the
national sport located at the traditional Pacaembu Stadium. To top off the day, go to some of
the city’s bars or botecos [typical local bars for bohemians], where you can have traditional
appetizers and cold beer, with soccer as its key soundtrack. In the region of Faria Lima, go to
Pelé Arena Café & Futebol; and near Vila Madalena, pick São Cristóvão.
