Your trip plan
A step-by-step plan for São Paulo — built backwards from the goal: arrive prepared, do the expo well, get back. Event dates: April 7, 2026 – April 9, 2026.
Now
Visa & entry
If you need a visa, start the process well before April 7, 2026 — processing can take several weeks.
Many nationalities enter Brazil visa-free for short stays (around 90 days), while some — including US, Canadian and Australian citizens — now need an e-Visa. Check the latest rules for your passport before travelling.
General guidance only — always confirm requirements with the official embassy/consulate for your nationality.
Flights
São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) — ~25km to centre
São Paulo/Congonhas Airport (CGH) — ~8km to centre
1–2 weeks out
Connectivity & money
Vivo, Claro and TIM SIMs at GRU (a Brazilian CPF tax ID may be requested — an eSIM avoids this)
eSIM: Airalo and similar eSIMs cover Brazil
Plug: Type N (Brazilian; also accepts Type C) · 127V in São Paulo / 60Hz (some buildings 220V — check)
Brazilian Real (BRL)
Cards and contactless are accepted widely; the Pix instant-payment system is dominant locally.

During the expo
Airport → venue & getting around
The Metrô and CPTM commuter trains are the fastest way to skip the traffic; buses fill the gaps.
A Bilhete Único stored-value card works on the Metrô, trains and buses.
Uber and 99 are the easiest and safest options, especially at night.
Eat — halal near the venue
