2.0 out of 5 stars A bit outdated, February 8, 2008

This review is from: Fodor's Pocket Sao Paulo, 1st Edition: The All-in-One Guide to the Best of the City Packed with Places to Eat, Sleep, Shop, and Explore (Pocket Guides) (Paperback)

Most guidebooks are republished every year but this little wonder has gone several years without a revision or counterpart (until this year). The information is decidedly outdated when it comes to certain important details but the general information on neighborhoods and such is still somewhat useful. The size is perfect, and its very lightweight. However, with the pace with which things change in Brazil and especially Sao Paulo, I would wait for the guide that is coming out this spring if you can.
