Farol Santander, São Paulo

For one of Sampa’s best panoramas, head to the top of this 161m-high skyscraper, Brazil’s version of the Empire State Building – completed in 1939 and most famously known as the Banespa (Banco do Estado de São Paulo) building. Highlights include a panorama of São Paulo’s skyline made up of junk by Vik Muniz and a three-minute historical film screened in a mirrored cinema room.
