MUNICIPAL MARKET

Nowadays it is a meeting point for São Paulo residents and a must-see spot for foreign tourists! The main restaurants offer something from every part of the world on their stalls, with ingredients of all kinds, fine and rare. Lobsters are to be found next to the cured hams and fine cheeses, the famous mortadella sausage sandwiches and the cod cakes.

The market building, in an eclectic style, was built between 1928 and 1933. Inside, the wonderful stained glass windows show various foodstuffs. An underground car park was recently built to make access easier for visitors. The market is in Rua da Cantareira, 306, next to Rua 25 de Março and Dom Pedro II Park.
