About São Paulo

São Paulo is Brazil's financial and business capital, home to the B3 stock exchange and the Latin American headquarters of many multinational companies. It is a centre for food, art and culture as well, with a large Japanese-Brazilian and Italian-Brazilian heritage, and a vast business district along Avenida Paulista.

The city runs on Brasília Time at UTC-3. Brazil abolished daylight saving in 2019, so the clocks here no longer change. The country does have several time zones, however: much of the Amazon region is an hour behind São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro and Brasília share its time. In northern-hemisphere summer, São Paulo is just one hour ahead of New York.
