Overview

A guided cycling tour through São Paulo's historic downtown, covering more ground than a walking tour — colonial-era buildings, the city's first skyscraper, and a rooftop observation deck.

Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only. Covering roughly 15 kilometers by bike, this tour is a far more efficient way to see São Paulo's historic downtown than on foot — passing museums, parks, and landmark architecture, including one of the city's first high-rise buildings, the Praça da Sé cathedral area, and a rooftop observation deck with sweeping views over the historic core. Comfortable bicycles and helmets are provided.

Highlights

  • Historic downtown by bike Cover roughly 15 kilometers of São Paulo's historic center in a fraction of the time it would take on foot.
  • Rooftop observation deck Take in views over downtown São Paulo from one of the historic center's rooftop viewpoints.
  • Architecture and street life Ride past colonial-era buildings, one of the city's first skyscrapers, and glimpses of street art along the way.

About This Tour

The Martinelli Building is the headline stop for architecture fans. Planned in 1922 by Italian-born Giuseppe Martinelli and built from 1924, it opened in 1929 and is described as Brazil's first skyscraper; it reached 30 floors by 1934. Residents reportedly feared it would collapse, and Martinelli lived in a penthouse on top to reassure them.

The Altino Arantes Building, completed in 1947 for the state bank Banespa and now known as Farol Santander, is about 161 metres tall and was the tallest building in South America until 1960. It was designed by Plínio Botelho do Amaral, who drew inspiration from the Empire State Building, and its observation deck gives 360-degree views over downtown.

Bike makes sense here because the historic center's sights are spread across the central area, and the tour covers roughly 15 kilometres. Which exact buildings you ride past depends on the route your guide takes.
