    Adding some fotos! I had anticipated my visit to Liberdade when I was in São Paulo. Like anywhere in the world, you should be aware of your surroundings. There were a few streets I had walked down that weren't as busy but I was on alert. If you walk down streets that do not have the famously known lanterns, you are no longer within the Liberdade area. Come here for culture, history, food, and shopping. You will probably get a lot more meaning out of your visit if you sign up for a tour. I found mine via Airbnb Experiences. My tour guide, Denyse was amazing! It was only her and I that day and she didn't cancel. I felt like we were friends hanging out around the city - she showed me a lot of cool places and she knew a lot about the history of Liberdade. Taking metro to and from is simple as the station is right in Liberdade square. The area can become crowded during peak hours, otherwise, if you are there early, the streets are not as packed. I highly recommend visiting on an empty stomach as you'll soon realize there are many places to stop for food and drinks. Don't forget to check out the Japanese museum - it's 4 floors if I recall so make sure you give yourself plenty of time. They had a lot of interesting facts and artifacts - something familiar items and some completely surprised me. Can't wait to revisit!

    On Saturday afternoons, you can find young and cool Paulistas hanging around Benedito Calixto…read moreplaza. People pour into the streets while sidewalk vendors set up all their antique and kitchy wares for sale. Honestly, I found things overpriced and I didn't happen upon any truly unique and must-have items. Everything seemed a little standard to what I'd find in most street fairs without the artisan touch. What is lovely though is the bustling neighborhood with praça bars opening their doors and selling everything from feijoada to caipirinhas and beer. Later in the afternoon, the crowd almost completely shifts to the gay segment. Around 6pm, you can find men who like men and women who like women dominating the praça and sharing beers with friends and strangers. If you're looking for the gay scene, here you have it!

    I would give this flea market 3 stars for the merchandise, 5 for the people watching. It's a whole…read morelot of fun, but I didn't find much I really felt like I had to have. Most of the merchandise is over-priced and kind of junky, but there are some fun things to be found if you want to pick through. Really the reason to go here is for the experience. Pinheiros is a very cool part of Sao Paulo that always seems to have something interesting going on. The atmosphere on Saturdays, when this feira is held, is electric. Street musicians, people walking their dogs, and hipsters abound. There is also some great restaurants to check out if you get hungry while browsing through old records, 50s furniture, and all kinds of memorabilia. Funky boutiques line the sidewalk across from the fair, so if you don't find anything to your liking at the feira, you may end up taking home some graphic tees or cute vintage dresses from one of the nearby stores.

    Vila Madalena is definitely the PLACE or at least, the place to start when partying for the World…read moreCup. Many of their streets have either a bar, a restaurant, a small business with a tv broadcasting a game, and packed with people! On this review, I will describe how I partied with some special friends (not that kind of special), friend from college, friend that I've met online, friends that I've met through friends, and made some new friends along this night. Looking for a rad place to go watch the matches, exquisite places to eat, and what to do in SP if you only had less than 24 hours? Then keep on reading. Met everyone at Posto 6(http://bit.ly/1pGovzj), gather all friends, met some really interesting people from around the globe, even a chick reporter from Boulder, Colorado, and of course, met some fellows for a safety meeting on the street side. Had a few beers, some grub, and partied our a$$es off on Aspiculeta. Notice that it was a Friday night during World Cup but Brazil did NOT play that day, and we could barely walk on that street. We bar hopped, a LOT! From Posto 6, to Boteco São Bento(http://bit.ly/1nzvLIS), to Salve Jorge(http://bit.ly/1nxRqlV), and our last stop was Armazén, where we met former professional soccer player Raí. After so much drinking, we went straight ahead to Genésio Pasta & Chopp(http://bit.ly/T47Wk5), ate some amazing food and kept on drinking, even though it was passed 2am! Cabbed around SP and our last destination was Black Dog(http://bit.ly/1j9yRlz), it really hit the spot at 4am. If you are here for the World Cup and want to have a blast within 24 hours or less, go to Vila Madalena, it will not disappoint!
