For those who don't know very well, we've gathered a little information about the city, one of the biggest cosmopolitan metropolises of the world.

In the picture above, you can see the city skyline. One of its main remarks are the modernist buildings such as Copan, designed in the 1950s by the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer.

São Paulo is located in the most populous state of Brazil. The capital has about 12 million people, but when we add the population of its surroundings, in the metropolitan region, we count about 22 million people.
