Beco do Batman

Top choice in São Paulo


One of São Paulo's premiere street-art locations, 'Batman's Alley' has slowly risen from secret location for band promotional shots and Brazilian films to a bonafide tourist attraction – even school kids visit nowadays. The open gallery, tucked away in artsy Vila Madalena, is covered head-to-toe in cutting-edge street art by local and international artists.

Obviously, the photo opportunities here are top.
