Top choice in São Paulo
Take a stroll down Brazil's 'Rodeo Drive', a leafy, tree-lined thoroughfare brimming with cafes, concept stores and flagship boutiques, top-end restaurants, beautiful people and usually a celebrity or two. It is said to be the eighth most luxurious street in the world, and clocks in as some of the most expensive real-estate per sq meter in Latin America.
The people-watching is ace!
