Previously, we talked about bars, restaurants and other super Instagrammable places around here. Because, regardless of the purpose of the record, the capital is full of options for those who love photography! That’s why we’re bringing you a new photographic itinerary in SP for you to capture the best of the city, whether professionally or amateurishly.
Check out our photographic itinerary in SP:
Catedral da Sé
The photographic itinerary in São Paulo begins with a neo-Gothic style building, the iconic Catedral da Sé. The tip here is to get close to the water mirrors in the square and get that panoramic click with the church reflected in the water.
📍Praça da Sé – Sé
São Paulo’s Historic Center
In addition to being a trip back in time, a brief stroll through the old center of São Paulo can generate beautiful architectural photographs. There, you’ll find more than 12 historic buildings to photograph. Among them, the Pateo do Collegio, the Farol Santander and the Edificio Martinelli.
📍Largo São Bento – Historic Center of São Paulo
Pinacoteca de São Paulo
Another great spot for photographing São Paulo’s architecture is the Pinacoteca. The centennial building was built in the neoclassical style and because of its great incidence of natural light, it can provide us with beautiful photos.
📍Praça da Luz, 2 – Luz
Youth Park
Urban photography in São Paulo can also be a reflective record. In the Parque da Juventude, we still find remnants of the sad past of the Carandiru Penitentiary. So, with creativity, the ruins of the pavilion and the trees that surround the place bring an interesting proposal for the photographs.
📍Avenida Cruzeiro do Sul, 2630 – Carandiru
Freedom
The popular Asian neighborhood also makes it onto the list of iconic photo spots in São Paulo! The Japanese lanterns in the streets transport you to a setting on the other side of the world. In addition, many recordings of everyday life can be made in Liberdade, as the area is very busy.

Avanhandava Street
A must-see for those who enjoy street photography in São Paulo, the charming Rua Avanhandava is known for its Italian restaurants and the influence of the Mancini Family. Here you’ll find beautiful fountains, ornamental plants and colorful lights.
📍Rua Avanhandava – Bela Vista
Avenida Paulista
The capital’s most beloved avenue is certainly one of São Paulo’s most recurring photographic scenarios. Passing through there, it’s not hard to find debutantes and couples recording the most important moments of their lives. So be sure to get your photos taken there too! The tip is to visit the mirantes and other sightseeing spots.
📍Avenida Paulista – São Paulo
Ipiranga Museum
Among the best places to photograph in São Paulo, according to our list, is the Museu do Ipiranga. This is because the place brings together nature, history and architecture in one place. Thus, the photographer will have diverse possibilities to play with the composition of his work.
📍Parque da Independência – Ipiranga
São Paulo Botanical Garden
Another great sightseeing spot for photos in São Paulo is the Botanical Garden. Here the gray becomes various shades of green and the artist can find a natural refuge in the middle of the metropolis. If you enjoy photographing animal life, such as birds, for example, the garden is a must.
📍Avenida Miguel Estefano, 3031 – Vila Água Funda
Parque do Carmo
A favorite among those who go on photography tours in São Paulo at the time of the Cherry Blossom Festival. But even without the shades of pink adorning the park, it’s still worth a visit to record the nature there.
📍Rua John Speers, 137 – Itaquera
