Sao Paulo is the largest
city of Brazil and even one of the largest cities in the world. With
over 2.500 skyskrapers it's the skyscraper capital of South America.
The city is located in the Brazilian highlands at round 800m altitude.
Sao Paulo is a major industrial center. A seaport is avaible in the
nearby city of Santos.
Sao Paulo has two major airports. The first one finds itself today in a
dense urban location, and has only one short runway. This was caused by
the expansion of the city. The other airport is
the international
airport (
GRU), which is a true intercontinental hub for Brazil with
flights to the
USA,
Canada and
Europe. There are even
some flights to
Africa and
Asia.
