They say the night is a child. To make the most of it, we’ve put together a selection of places to go in São Paulo at night and enjoy the best the city has to offer until the sun comes up. Take note!
Places to go in São Paulo at night
Lektrik
After visiting several cities abroad, Lektrik has finally landed in São Paulo with the theme “Journey around the World”. Now you can visit this light show which is a true multi-sensory experience.
In the capital, the event takes place at the São Paulo Botanical Garden and features artistic performances, culture, technology and more than 100 luminous sculptures. It’s an ideal plan to do with friends, family or your romantic partner. So don’t waste any time and secure your ticket by clicking here.
Museums
Who knows how to experience their own version of “A Night at the Museum”? São Paulo is the city with the most museums in the country and some stay open late every day, or on certain days of the week.
The Museum of Image and Sound (MIS), for example, is open until 10pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and 9pm on Sundays and public holidays. The Museum of Illusion, at Shopping Eldorado, is open to visitors from Tuesday to Saturday until 10pm, and at 9pm on Sundays and public holidays.
MASP, the capital’s most famous museum, closes its doors in the afternoon. However, it has extended opening hours on Tuesdays, running until 8pm. You can enjoy a little bit of the night there!
Painting workshop
With sessions at 7pm and 9pm, Neon Brush is an experience with paint that glows in black light! The retro-futuristic atmosphere and cocktails make it even more fun and you can paint until late. So get the gang together and unleash your inner artist on a creative night out with drinks.
