Sao Paulo, the 11th most-inhabited city in the world and the wealthiest in Brazil, is an enormous cosmopolitan metropolis. This huge "concrete-jungle", as its locals are keen to call it, is melting pot of cultures that is home to natives of over 200 countries and to the largest populations in the world of Japanese, Italians and Arabs outside their respective countries. It’s as renowned for its busy streets as for its world-class dining in Brazilian, Japanese and many varieties of international and fusion cuisines.
