Whether you're after "high culture", live music, a disco or just a bar to hang out in, you won't have much of a problem in SA?o Paulo. There are four main centres for nightlife in SA?o Paulo:
Bixiga
, with good bars and live music;
Jardins
, with some good neighbourhood bars;
Itaim Bibi
and
Vila OlAmpia
, best known for its flashy nightclubs; and
Vila Madalena
and adjoining
Pinheiros
, fast becoming known for its trendier, slightly "alternative" scene. Some ideas of where to go are detailed below, but for the full picture of what's on and where consult the weekly
Veja,
the daily
Folha de SA?o Paulo
(especially its Friday
Noite Ilustrada
supplement), or the
Guia Internet SA?o Paulo
Web site (
www.guiasp.com.br).
Places come and go in SA?o Paulo at a bewildering speed and so on-the-spot advice is vital.
SA?o Paulo has a large gay population but clubs and bars tend to be mixed rather than specifically gay, with the scene mainly in the Jardins area Other useful information
