Your Expat Community in Campinas

Campinas: Sao Paulo's Cultural Oasis

The city of Campinas lies in the south-east of Brazil, is the cultural center of its region (Sao Paulo), and is a hub for the high-tech and motor industries. As you settle into life in this modern city, you can expect to mix with a multicultural society; companies such as IBM, Dell, and Samsung have major bases in the city so it attracts many expats. The city is also home to many theaters, cinemas, and nightclubs — the lively entertainment scene has something to offer everyone, and the outdoor life is equally as exciting. Campinas has a tropical climate but because of its elevation (1,821–2,559 ft), it is cooler than you might expect and is home to subtropical forests and grasslands. Expats moving there will find life in the city expensive, but will be pleased to find out it is reasonably safe during daylight hours.
