Travel
São Paulo is South America’s largest city and Brazil’s financial hub. It offers an intense cultural life with a wide range of museums, restaurants, and distinct neighborhoods to explore. However, it is a fast-paced metropolis with heavy traffic, so choosing where to stay is critical for your trip.Since the congress takes place at two different venues, the University of São Paulo (USP) and near Ibirapuera Park, we recommend staying in the Pinheiros neighborhood. It is located roughly 6 km from both sites, has good subway connections, and offers plenty of dining options.
Below are our hotel recommendations for Pinheiros. For those who prefer other areas, we also suggest options near Ibirapuera Park or along Paulista Avenue, the city’s cultural heart.
