Bom Retiro District, Commercial district in central São Paulo, Brazil

The district contains over 400 fashion stores along Rua Jose Paulino, offering Brazilian and Chinese clothing at different price ranges.

The area transformed in the late 19th century when Joaquim Egídio de Sousa Aranha divided his property to construct residences for industrial workers.

Multiple immigrant groups, including Italians, Jews, Greeks, and Koreans, have established communities in the district, influencing its commercial development.

The neighborhood connects to public transportation through Luz Station, which also houses the Museum of Portuguese Language.

The São Paulo City Council officially designated Bom Retiro as a Korean cultural neighborhood in January 2010.
