No matter how well you plan your vacation, you cannot control the weather. So what to do when you travel to a tropical country and you are stuck with rainy weather and cold winds? Here are five things to do in São Paulo, Brazil during rainy weather so you do not waste any of your vacation!

  1. Museums  
    São Paulo is filled with many interesting and well put together museums that are very interactive. Be sure to check out the Museu do Futebol to learn everything you need to know about Brazil’s favorite sport or head to the Museu da Lingua Portuguesa to discover the roots behind the language of Brazil.

  2. Churrascaria - Hungry? Head to a churrascaria with a group of friends. This in-door grill is more than a quick bite to eat and will or at least can last for hours. The non-stop service of meat, sides and all-you-can-eat salad buffet is a cozy solution to a gray day.

  3. SESC Cultural Centers 
    Just about ever neighborhood has a nearby SESC and just about every SESC has many events happening everyday. These social centers provide the community with interesting cultural activities from film festivals to plays, concerts and educational forums. The best part: no membership is required and everything is usually under $10 US.

  4. SESC Sports Center - Some SESCs are equipped with sports centers open to the public. For a very minimal fee, you have access to indoor pools, gyms, basketball and tennis courts. 

  5. Mercado Municipal
    One of the largest markets in São Paulo, the Mercado Municipal offers everything from some of the most rare and exotic fruits that Latin America has to offer to specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere.
