Vila Olimpia is one of São Paulo's delightful upper-class neighbourhoods, and is a wonderful place to visit whether it be for a delicious meal, some first class boutique shopping or to visit one of the region's first rate nightclubs, Vila Olimpia is an excellent choice of location!
The region hosts many of the world's largest and most renowned technology corporations and has therefore been endearingly nicknamed 'Silicon Valley São Paulo'. Considered one of the greatest centres of development in the city of São Paulo, Vila Olimpia infuses modernity and innovation with charm and variety, being frequented by people who are constantly in search for the best that São Paulo has to offer. Vila Olimpia is also well-known for its nightlife, with bars and nightclubs injecting energy into this region of São Paulo. The choice ranges from typical bars such as Bar Arnesto (a tribute to samba, capturing the essence of São Paulo in the 60s), to more modernistic nightclubs like Secret (known for electronic music in a contemporary setting). Vila Olimpia also boasts the Buena Vista Club, which has forró (an archetypal north-eastern Brazilian dance), and Salsa classes as well as ballroom dancing with live bands accompanying. As for those who enjoy the musical styles of Samba and Pagode, the Santa Aldeia is a great option: with three bars and two dance floors encircled by tropical palms and bromeliads, the venue shakes at night the vibrancy of the national shows.
Amid the sheer bustle of the neighbourhood, there are also moments reserved for shopping, leisure and relaxation. Villa Daslu, a megastore department of international brand names and the largest development of its kind in Latin America, focusses on products of high luxury. Don't miss the 4D cinema or the great ion of upscale stores at the brand new Shopping JK Iguatemi or the surprising peace and quiet at Shopping Vila Olimpia.
Vila Olimpia is an up & coming and integral part of São Paulo's composition, and it's not one to be missed out on!
