a few taxi drivers tend to take the long way around so watch where your going. Locals are very friendly and try to accommodate you the best they can. this is a very busy city, the people are nice for the most part but when night falls stay in your hotel or in lighted areas more so if you dont know where your going or dont speak portuguese stay put at night..

Horrible to look at, poluted city...but one my favourites.
Amazing restaurants to choose, great nightlife and a cultural must in Brazil.
Stay in Jardins area. You can find the nicest 4 and 5 star hotels as well as "flat-services" where you will have a more homelike feeling with the services of a big hotel.
Avoid getting money from the wall after 9pm since most banks won´t allow you to get large amounts after 10 due to safety reasons.
Even though it may sound strange it isn´t a dangerous city. Unless you take the tube for 30 min, a bus for 30 min more and walk 15 minutes in a dark far neighbourhood. I guess that this isn´t in anybody´s plans when visiting any city. I feel safer in Sao Paulo than in downtown madrid sometimes. And they say that we are Europe...
Gay nightlife is one of the best in the world. Check the sites available for what and when to do. Options are for EVERY taste.
Remember that the city isn´t a place to experience during daylight. It´s more for those nocturnal people who like to enjoy what darkness has to offer.
People are mostly kind and polite and will be willing to help you if you don´t push it too far.

sao paulo is a fascinating city! i confess i really don´t like the architecture especially because of the recurrent destruction of historical and cultural buildings that goes on in the city. praca da se and its church are among my favorite places. vila madalena has a lot of nice bars and restaurants. and the Ibirapuera park is amazing!
avoid showing money in public and be aware of your surroundings. sao paulo is a huge city so some extra precautions are in order. people are the nicest in the "periferia" or poorer neighborhoods in the outskirts but it's better to go with friends first until you know your way around.
the metro is very good but it doesn´t go everywhere. taking the bus is very common, especially in the periferia. sao paulo can feel intimidating at first but it is really an amazing place. check the papers and ask "paulistas" (people from sao paulo) about free cultural events. there are plenty!

One of the best spots for electronic music in Sao Paulo. CLASH CLUB. It deserves to visited. Not so cheap but that is the price to party with beautiful people and good music.
