Shopping Centre sights in São Paulo

  1. A

    Shopping Light

    Across Viaduto de Chá bridge lies Shopping Light, a modern, midrange mall that occupies a rather grand building once belonging to the Light English Company. There's a good food court on the 5th floor.

    The 1892 Viaduto de Chá bridge and the Viaduto Santa Efigénia a little to the north date from the same era. Both of these elaborate cast-iron bridges were long synonymous with São Paulo's cultural and economic ascendancy.

    Edifício Copan

    The remarkable Edifício Copan's serpentine façade and narrow brises-soleil have become a symbol of the city. Modernist master Oscar Niemeyer designed the building to bring together all classes by including sprawling apartments for the rich as well as tiny studios for the working poor. You can visit its snaking, sloping ground-floor shopping arcade, but the private apartments on the upper floors are off-limits.

    BOVESPA

    Even if Av Paulista and Vila Olímpia now attract the big money, the Triângulo still does a brisk trade, thanks largely to presence of BOVESPA , Latin America's largest stock exchange.
