Description
Explore São Paulo's Mercadão and Liberdade on a guided walking tour. Taste exotic fruits, learn about the city's food culture, and discover the stories behind the market’s stained-glass windows.
Meet your guide at the entrance of the Mercado Municipal, a 1930s landmark known for its stained-glass windows, colorful fruit stalls, and legendary mortadella sandwich. Taste exotic Brazilian fruits and learn how immigrants shaped the city’s food culture.
Then, take a short metro ride to Liberdade, home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan. Walk under the red lanterns, see the torii gate, browse Asian shops and food stalls, and discover the lesser-known history of the neighborhood, from its colonial past to Japanese immigration.
