Embark on an exploration of one of São Paulo's most vibrant neighborhoods through this guided tour of Bom Retiro. Prepare to be enchanted by what you uncover!

Tour Overview

Our meeting point will be in front of the AHM—São Paulo Municipal Historical Archive at the scheduled time. From here, we will wander through the primary avenues of the Bom Retiro neighborhood, which showcases a rich tapestry of influences from Italian, Jewish, Bolivian, and Indigenous communities. It’s a remarkable cultural fusion!

The first highlight of our journey will be the Municipal Historical Archives of São Paulo, previously the Polytecnic School. As you admire its architectural beauty, you will gain insights into the historical development of this Brazilian locale. Our adventure continues with a visit to the Casa do Povo, a cultural hub that preserves the rich heritage of the Bom Retiro community.

Next on our itinerary is the Oswaldo de Andrade Cultural Workshop and the nearby working-class area of Michele Anastasi. Can you identify which of the two was once the prestigious Faculty of Pharmacy and Odontology in São Paulo? Afterward, we’ll navigate to one of Bom Retiro's most vibrant streets, where we’ll delve into the neighborhood's diverse culinary heritage. Here, you'll have the opportunity to savor the flavors of the area, including the iconic sandwiches from Otugui and Casa Búlgara.

If you're not feeling fatigued yet, we’ll make our way to Calle Tres Ríos, recognized as one of the world’s most intriguing streets by a prestigious magazine. Upon arrival, you’ll quickly see why it earns such acclaim. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

We will wrap up this enriching 4-hour tour at the UM Coffee café, where you are welcome to enjoy a delightful cup of coffee if you wish.
