Anhembi Sambadrome

The space is great, however I've been there for the Knotfest festival and the organization was terrible. Lines were huge, food in general was expensive and terrible (with a few exceptions). The bars ended up the servics before we could use all our credit.

That is the real Carnaval!
This must be in everybody’s person bucket list. The parede starts 11pm and go thru all night long - be prepare!
7 samba’s team per night. One better than other!
Find a good spot. Take you best camera with you, prepare yourself to dance and celebrate each team, and I’m sure you will have the best time of your life! Good for kids and amazing for seniors! Enjoy!!!!

Exciting fun and great activities I enjoyed so much

Obviously the only place in São Paulo you can take in the desfiles de Carnival. More or less it's like a strip of road with cement risers on either side. If you're sitting up in the more modestly priced seats bring some kind of cushioning, the parades go on all night and that cement gets real hard after a while!
