"It was on these grounds in 1822 that King Pedro I declared Brazil’s independence from Portugal, hence the green space’s name, which translates to “Independence Park.” Situated outside the Ipiranga Museum, which is closed for renovation, this beautiful park remains open to visitors. The gardens of the park are well kept, despite the work going on in the museum, and people flock here daily to exercise, have a picnic, and simply enjoy the natural beauty of the park and its gardens. The park currently measures 40 acres, with plans for expansion in the future. It’s open every day from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM." - MATADOR_NETWORK
My friend and I spent the first day in São Paulo at the Independence Park, with visit to the Independence Monument and Royal Museum. It was very relaxing!

Only viewable up to floor 1 as the rest are under renovation. Place is huge and the paintings inside are great. The grounds are also lovely, do not forget to go behind the building and walk to the museum of Zoology round the corner.
It's free and has some genuinely amazing taxidermy animals on display.

This is a very beautiful park also with a museum. You can decide to visit the museum or just take a walk around the park. The water fountain, beautiful landscape, play area and the statues are so wonderful.
It’s a good spot to have a walk date or just to enjoy conversation with your loved ones.

We visited the famous park on Independence Day!!!. The park's beauty and peace filled my heart with thankfulness for the natural world on that day of simple joy. This trip gave me a fresh appreciation for the beauty of our freedom and served as a reminder of the tremendous harmony that exists between Brazillians🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷.

Nice and big specious park. Not much to do here but nice if you wanna ride around your rollerblades or take a stroll with your dog or a friend. Nice view and some small street food kiosks close by, as well as the museum and the monument

Beautiful and peaceful park. Good for skating and cycling because of the large landscape. Come with a mosquito repellent cos there are lots of insect bites.

To know the history of the city of São Paulo is to know the history of this place, which hides several secrets of the metropolis in its architecture and planning. "Must do" for every Paulista.

Such a beautiful park. Great to check out and just admire and immerse yourself in the rich culture and history.
