VISITOR INFORMATION

Sao Paulo 's visitor information booths are of limited use. They offer a free city map and a city booklet with limited sightseeing information (but 30 pages or more of ads for escort services). However, there are few brochures on sights and attractions. Staff will attempt to answer your questions, but there's little infor­ mation to pick up and browse.

Both the city of Sao Paulo and the state of Sao Paulo provide tourist infor­ mation at Guarulhos . The state info booths, SET (Tel: 011/6445-2380), can be found in both Terminal I and 2 in the arrivals section and are open daily from 9am to 9pm . The city's booth, CIT (Tel: 011/945-2380), is open Monday through Friday from 8am to l0pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 9pm. Booths in both Terminal 1 and 2 are open daily from 7am to 7pm. CIT (at the airport or in the city) often has copies of the excellent free map, Mapa das Artes, which not only shows streets and subways but also gives the location of art gal­leries and the some of the city's more interesting private art galleries.

The Central de Informa~oes Turisticas (CIT) booths are located downtown at Praca da Reptiblica, in front of Rua 7 de Abril (Tel: 01 1/3231-2922; open daily 9am-6pm); and Avenida Paulista, in front of Trianon Park (Tel: 011/ 251-0970; open Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat-Sun l0am-4pm).
