What to expect in São Paulo in April

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

April brings fall to São Paulo. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 27 °C (81 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds sit somewhere in the middle, with peaks on public holidays. Outside those dates, you can enjoy the place at an easy pace and spend less. It also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary.
