Climate
Four distinct seasons, all of them humid — summers are sweaty and relentless, winters mild enough to walk through but grey enough to feel them.
Best season
April through June: the jacarandas haven't bloomed yet but the heat has broken, the city is fully awake, and you're not competing with summer crowds.
Atmosphere
- urban-dense
- cosmopolitan
- nocturnal
- old-world
- colonial-layered
- culinary
- artsy
- literary
- design-forward
- walkable
