Avenida Paulista

Skyscraper-lined Avenida Paulista was the street where coffee barons lived and now is the commercial center of the city. All main banks have a branch at Avenida Paulista. You will find a lot of restaurants and fast foods. It is worth to look at the parallel and perpendicular streets next to the avenue to find more restaurants, bookstores, fine hotels and shops.

In the avenue you will find the MASP (Sao Paulo Museum of Art) and (close to its end) the Casa das Rosas (House of Roses) where usually there are art expositions. Next to Casa das Rosas you will also find the Shpping Center Paulista, but its car parking is very small and difficult to find a vacancy.

All the avenue is well served with buses and a subway (metro) line that runs the entire street with several stations.
