Answer 5

Rio and Sao Paulo are like two different countries. Not too many similarities except for the language and food.

Brazilians say that you make your money in Sao Paulo and spend and enjoy it in Rio. S.P. is the industrial and business center of the country. Rio is the social and entertainment mecca.Rich or poor, you work yourself to death in S.P.and in Rio you play until it kills you.

Answer 6

If you like New York City, go to São Paulo. If you like Miami, go to Rio.

If you go to Rio, take some time to visit Buzios, a paradise-like peninsula, 2h away from Rio.

Another great thing to do is to save 3 days and to drive from São Paulo to Rio through the shore, there you will feel like the Caribbean...

Answer 7

it's said that Sao Paulo is the city that works and that Rio is the city that plays, there is a super train that runs between the two daily. My choice would be to see them both,split your time up 50-50, kinda like the old bull and the young bull story.
