The Beco de Batman (Batman's Alley) in Vila Madelena, not too far away from the Pinheiros district, is a must-do if you're in Sao Paulo. A few streets, with their walls and buildings, are covered in the most intricate and detailed art and paintings that you'll ever see. Superheroes, abstract art, tribal art and nature are just some of the themes that coat the walls of the area. The area seems safe but usual precautions are advised. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and there was quite some crowd closer to the new year. The streets have several souvenir shops, bars and restaurants as well as live performances that happen from time to time. Beco de Batman makes for a laidback afternoon or evening spent admiring some of the best street art that you'll ever come across.

A vibrant locals area just 15 mins walk from the Metro Madelena or Sumare. Amazing graffiti art all around the area. Lots of bars and cafes for a stop in between walking the numerous hilly streets. You need your comfortable walking shoes for this area.

We enjoyed a lovely walk along the graffiti walls. We took an uber here. Saw batman, the flash and other graffiti. It was a quick walk. We tool some pictures. We continued walking around the neighborhood. We went into various shops.
