For one of Sampa’s best panoramas, head to the top of this 161m-high skyscraper, Brazil’s version of the Empire State Building, completed in 1939. Ride free to the observation deck on the top floor for views of the city.
Note: you will need some form of ID to sign in. You'll need to hurry up and wait: first to sign in, then for an elevator to the 26th floor, then a second elevator and finally for the spiral staircase to the top. The five-minute maximum visit is enforced heavy-handedly, but the view will floor you.
