The area

Neighborhood: Sé
Sé, which derives its name from Sé Square, is a central neighborhood in historic São Paulo. Close by, the Law School, the Museum of the Court of Justice and the Metropolitan Cathedral offer inspiring architecture. If you are looking for cultural activities, head to Caixa Cultural and check the schedule. In the area there is a popular pedestrian street called “Rua Direita”, one of the first streets in the region, which today marks the crowded perimeter. Sé is a great area to explore during daytime, but use caution if visiting alone at night.
How to get there
- Sé • 3 min walk
- Liberdade • 6 min walk

The Cathedral itself is very nice, however the area it is in is not. As I walked out the Cathedral a man was taking a picture of it in broad day light. Another man came out of a crowd of people on a bicycle, rode by, and grabbed the phone out of the other mans hands before he knew what happened. The brazenness to do that in day light and in front of a church! I immediately got an Uber and left. As a previous person stated this was the only time they did not feel safe and I felt the same. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO TO THIS AREA.

Exploring the Sé Cathedral was a unique journey. The imposing architecture and rich history enchant. The interior, with its artwork and details, provides a profound spiritual experience. The grandeur of the altar and the serenity of the space create an environment of reverence. A visit to the Sé Cathedral not only reveals faith, but also immerses the visitor in history and culture. An enriching and memorable experience.

For the religious, it is a majestic and grand church, in the neo-Gothic style. It occupies the central part of Praça da Sé. Even though it is a dangerous place due to the socially degraded surroundings, with many homeless people and drug addicts, it is worth a visit and, if possible, an internal tour. This can be just a visit to the crypt, or more complete, including the altar, the dome, and the bell tower.

I feel emotional to see this church ⛪ back then it was popular among friends talk places they visit in Brazil.but sad my story is different maybe because of the coronavirus the reason why the place becomes the homeless people home.and it's dirty and stinky out front. The church is quite inside somehow they maintain it. After walking around I meet an angel 😇. Tell me and make me feel like the world has hope. hope and keep on pray🙏 have faith in God the earth is healing.

Beautiful Cathedral. The most beautiful and largest Gothic cathedral in Brazil. Clear. Neogothic because we didn't have that medieval era. It's worth visiting internally. Pay attention to the high ceilings, columns and stained glass windows. Beautiful cathedral. It also has the largest pipe organ in Latin America. It's really worth getting to know her. Tip. Don't leave its perimeter. Undesirable approaches can be dangerous.

We arrived for the Sunday service. The church is beautiful, elegant and spacious. Although I don’t understand Portuguese, I could follow the service and join in. Music was beautiful and s provided by a small ensemble. The crypt is stunning as well, though talk given is in Portugese with no accompanying English notes.

The cathedral is beautiful and that is not discussed ... but the surroundings are dangerous, many robberies, it is very dirty and many homeless people asking for money.

there are many churches throughout the country, but this is one of the more significant. worth the stop on its own, but it is that much more interesting when you consider this architectural work in the lense of its european inspiration that transcended the great ocean distance.

É sim. Bastante policiamento. Mas como disse, muitos moradores de rua. Isso acaba assustando um pouco quem não conhece São Paulo. Mas reforço que não vejo problemas em visitar a região.
