Visiting the Mosteiro São Bento is not only a step back in time but a chance to appreciate the quiet majesty and enduring spirit of this venerable institution.

A must see. It rivals the most grand you would see in Europe. Just stunning. I came to the Sunday mass for the chanting but it was less chanting and more traditional mass singing. Maybe they have the chants at a different time. We came early to sit in front and people were standing all around the sides by the start of service. We also picked up some cookies and a bread cake from the bakery. High recommend.

It's the place where Bento XVI stayed when he visited Sao Paulo. It's easy to get there by subway and the mass on Sunday at 10am is great. There is a page on Instagram @brunchnomosteiro where you can make a reservation for a brunch after the mass. They also sell religious items and fresh baked bread but they don't accept cards. Only Cash. I highly recommend the visit. ☆☆☆☆☆

Very pretty venue. It’s nicer on the inside than what seems from outside.

A beautiful church, a historical building, a piece of magnificent art and religious architecture. A place to visit. Public transportation available.
