Sao Paulo is the most famous and largest Brazilian city with the city boasting of a population of 11 million people. Sao Paulo is rated among the top wealthiest city in the southern hemisphere even though class inequality is a serious issue here. Often referred to as Sampa, it is sad to note that Sao Paulo is a highly underrated city as far as tourism is concerned. Despite having notable touristic attractions, it has become overshadowed by most of the Brazilian places offering beach and sun tourism especially Salvador and Rio de Janeiro.
