For fans of art, a visit to the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo should be top of anyone’s agenda, no matter how long the stay in the Brazilian city.

Located within the Jardim Paulista district of the city, along Avenida Paulista, the Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo is still regarded as the city’s finest museum for art and visitors should not be put off by any reports of declining visitor numbers.

Open from Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 17:00 local time, the venue is more than worthy of a call home.

"Nobody comes to Sao Paulo for the sightseeing. The ugly urban sprawl that sprang up in the late 20th century has obliterated almost all vestiges of the colonial town that preceded it," cautions the Economist.

"The city does, however, have several good art galleries."

Among the finest exhibitions at the museum are those including the works of Picasso, Turner and Renoir.
