South African Airways offers the convenience of direct flights to São Paulo from Johannesburg and Cape Town. As the most populous city in Brazil, the metropolis is an eclectic melting-pot of culture and industry.

São Paulo or Sampa, as the city is known, is vast and provides the ideal backdrop for its booming economy and lively cultural scene. The city not only offers a vast selection of first-rate museums, cultural centres, experimental theatres and cinemas, but also boasts a staggering number of world-class nightclubs, bars and restaurants.

Guarulhos International Airport is located roughly 25km from the urban centre. The hub is served by various transport networks, including taxis, buses, subways and railway lines. Car hire and shuttle facilities are also available at the airport.

SAA flies into São Paulo 4 times a week, with options from both Johannesburg (JNB) and Cape Town (CPT), and you can rest assured that these flights deliver excellent turnaround times and exceptional world-class facilities.

The city serves as an exciting example of the exquisite Brazilian way of life, combining the relaxed lifestyle synonymous with Latin America with the hustle and bustle that comes with a rapidly developing economy.

So, whether it be for business or leisure, make sure São Paulo is on your list of places to visit. For other spectacular destinations in South Africa and the world, or for more information about São Paulo, visit our destinations page.
