The main touristic neighbourhood in Campos do Jordão is Capivari, where buildings were built in a swiss-like form. Restaurants, bars and stores are located here, and it is the most charming place in the city. For those who like crowds, street life, shopping and eating well, this is the place to be. Of course, this is also the most expensive place to stay, to eat and to shop. 

Nightlife is also here, as shops, bars and restaurants, specially in the high season (june/july) remain openned untill late at night. Eventually, some promoters bring parties and discos to the city and, if they are not held in Capivari, ticket selling is most likely to be done here.

The winter festival is held in July, when winter is stronger at brazillian southernmost states, and specially here, where the peaks, located 2000m (1,24miles) above sea level produce temperatures under zero degrees celsium.

Musicians plays all around the city, speacially in the squares. The city gets crowded and its hotels full of tourists. Main presentations of the symphonic orchestra are held at the Claudio Santoro Auditorium, located in a hill in the city outskirts.

In front of the Auditorium, there is a garden full of sculptures and Araucaria trees, the pictoresque pine from the south of Brazil.
