Whether with family, friends or suitors, a picnic is always a very practical and inexpensive program. After all, all it takes is a few containers of food, a towel and a willingness to go for a different walk! That’s why we’ve listed six tips on where to have your picnic in São Paulo, perfect for welcoming you, your wicker basket and all your goodies.
Where to picnic in São Paulo?
Horácio Sabino Square
First of all, we have a tip for the West Zone. Popularly known as Pracinha do Alves (because it is opposite the Professor Antônio Alves Cruz State School), Praça Horácio Sabino is one of the most charming places in Pinheiros. With well-kept lawns (the work of the residents’ association, which is working to revitalize the place), it’s the perfect spot to spread out your towel and have a picnic with the family.
📍 Between Heitor Penteado and João Moura streets – Pinheiros
CCSP Hanging Garden
With a community garden and surrounded by greenery, the Hanging Garden is one of the most inviting places in the city São Paulo Cultural Center. Great for sunbathing, catching up with friends and, of course, making a mouthful.
📍 Rua Vergueiro, 1000 – Paraíso
Carmo Park
Next up is Parque do Carmo, the most famous park in the East Zone and a favorite destination for locals. With more than 1.5 million square meters, the space has enough grass for a large family to have a picnic.
