When I was at the bookstore, I did not hesitate to purchase the Lonely Planet books for my upcoming trip to Brazil, the phrasebook and overall Brazil version. Many of my friends suggested the Lonely Planet series so I figured it was dependable. I spent all the hours leading up to my trip familiarizing myself with the contents of both books. Since my trip was for only a week, I wanted to make sure I could hit all the "cool" spots and restaurants.

However, once I arrived to Sao Paulo, my friend lent me her copy of this book, Time Out! - Sao Paulo. It is unbelievably well-organized. There are a few pages in the beginning that covers the background of each neighborhood. The book is divided into several sections, including Food (Consume), Shop, Arts & Entertainment, etc. Within each of these sections, there are additional sub-sections for each neighborhood within Sao Paulo. Of course, they also include the pricing scale for some of these establishments to help travelers stay within budget. There are several maps and pages on translations in the back to use as reference.

In short, I found this book to be incredibly useful and easy to navigate. it was more helpful than the Lonely Planet book because it included more detailed maps, more up-to-date, cool descriptions, and photos.

this book was extremely current and had great recommendations for restaurants, shops and entertainment. timeout is always a great purchase!
