I felt save almost every moment during day time, but not in the neighbourhood “Luz” I’d never walk there alone in the night. The city is amazingly big but so beautiful! I really recommend tasting traditional food, going to the Parc d’Ibirapuera and visiting Sampa Sky

My travel buddy and I are currently in São Paulo and we’re travelling low budget. So far we’ve stayed in a hostel in Guarulhos and had enough luck to be able to stay at a really lovely Ladies place that we found through this app. We visited Sampa Sky, the Liberdade neighbourhood, Beck de Batman, the mercado municipal paulistano and a couple more attractions. So far all our experiences were good even in the areas locals warned us about. Maybe we were just lucky, but I’d recommend staying vigilante at all times, especially with your phone and bags. Most locals don’t speak a lot of English so sometimes it’s hard to communicate but we have found that everyone makes an effort to help you out.
Posted: January 22, 2025I traveled last year for vacation. I went alone for seven days. I got around using the metro and buses - to and from the airport, as well as for long-distance trips to Rio de Janeiro. I love this city, there is a lot to see and many beautiful places.
Posted: September 13, 2023I spent a few days alone in São Paulo. The biggest struggle for me was Portuguese. I cycled around the city, which was really great, and I also discovered three beaches on a walking tour. I was there during the carnival and I would recommend everyone to experience the carnival at least once in their life. I spent the whole day walking around various Blocos de Rua (street carnivals) and always felt very safe.

São Paulo is a safe place, with some specific locals where you should be careful. Is not somewhere you need to be scared to walk by, but it’s important to be aware while at street. While at home, I feel 100% safe, and when I’m out, I’m always aware, but not in a way that it could prevent you from loving and enjoying the city

Sao Paulo is the biggest and the richest city of Latin America. Although to us women is not a very safe place, mainly when it’s dark on empty streets. It is very good to come here with other people or coming when you already know someone here that can walk around with you and give some advices about “how to behave” on streets.

Hi, I’m Livia. I’m an international relations and economy student. I live in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil and it’s incredible to find an app like this. I will go to my first trip alone (in 04/2025) and I am very scared hahaha but I got very happy to find this app, so I can feel a little safer traveling by myself. I also would be very happy to help women thinking about traveling to Sao Paulo to visit the city and getting to know some crazy and/or special places 😁.

I'm a student living in Birmingham England, but I love to travel whenever I can! I love yoga and calisthenics style stuff like climbing and pole dancing... I'm obsessed with food, and addicted to cheese... I'm super adventurous and love learning new things. The next trip I have planned is a 3 month adventure packed trip around south America, where I hope to learn to surf 😁😁😁
