Is Itaim Bibi in Sao Paulo a good neighborhood?

I am going to be in Sao Paulo for two days (Friday and Saturday) and my hotel is in Itaim Bibi. I am male (6', 180lbs) and will be by myself. I plan to do most/all of my sightseeing during the day time. How worried/paranoid should I be about safety? I know the general guidelines about not carrying money and belongings, but do I have to worry about violent crime or muggings at all?

Also, is this a nice neighborhood as far as things to do?

    Been to Sao Paulo 3 times and never had any problems anywhere I've been. Not sure about that particular neighborhood, but I wouldn't worry.

    If that's an threat met and superficial friendship then take care. the section is particularly downscale and its ultimate to confirm of those friends until now you project further. Closeness to centers consisting of metros and vacationer factors of interest are a secondary subject. you are able to consistently get to everywhere you opt to pass. protection is of best value incredibly in a united states/city you dont know. in no way attempt to maintain money via staying with risk met friends. you're extra suitable off in a appropriate inn. here returned please dont choose for all-time low expenditures in Sao Paulo until you opt to be caught in a sleazy inn with pass pass dancer bars on all factors. Thats oftentimes the type interior the Consolacao section. anticipate to pay a minimum of one hundred money a night for a 2 or 3 famous guy or woman place that's the minimum you may e book.

    in that area no, lots of shopping's, its where alot of "rich" people live, high prices and its where they have most american company's ... its also the place with the worst traffic. that river you see running thru the area is the sewer system, look how it bubbles =0) i lived and walked all over that area for 2 1/2 years (most of the time at midnight) and never had a problem, then again ive been all around that city even the places the cops don't go and never had problems. size doesn't matter its more of how you carry yourself, muggers know who's a victim
