São Paulo is the largest city in Latin America and the right destination for those looking for a cosmopolitan environment. The city offers countless leisure options and also a wide range of professional opportunities.

FGV's main headquarters are located close to Av. Paulista, in the central region of São Paulo. The campus has two entrances: one located at Avenida Nove de Julho, nº 2029, and another at Rua Itapeva, nº 432. Its privileged location means that FGV is connected to public transport in the capital. Accessible by bus corridors at Av. Nove de Julho and Av. Paulista. The campus is also close to the Trianon-MASP subway, on the Green Line of the subway.

The neighborhoods closest to FGV are: Bela Vista, Jardim Paulista, Cerqueira César, Liberdade, Consolação, Paraíso, Higienópolis, Aclimação and Pinheiros. For apartment rentals, consult apps and websites like Zap Imóveis, Viva Real and Quinto Andar. They are tools that help in the prior survey of the available options and to schedule visits to the properties. In addition, São Paulo maintains the tradition of displaying advertisements at the entrances to buildings, with signs indicating “for rent”. Take advantage of pre-booked visits to search for these options in the region, which are often not advertised on the internet or in the newspapers. Consider that, for rental contracts, it is usually necessary to provide guarantees such as surety bonds or an advance deposit. Applications such as Quinto Andar facilitate bureaucratic procedures by charging an administrative fee, but can make the final price more expensive. There are also options like renting rooms in shared apartments or republics. In addition to Quinto Andar, Airbnb also offers this type of option. Airbnb can also be a good solution for finding temporary housing for those who prefer to dedicate more time to researching properties and adapting in the city.

The city of São Paulo offers more than 110 museums, 180 theaters, 280 movie theaters, concert halls, music venues and excellent libraries and bookstores, in addition to a hundred cultural centers that offer extensive free programming.
