About Paulista Avenue

The 2.8-kilometre long Paulista Avenue is one of the busiest and longest stretches of road in Sao Paulo. It bridges the connection between the "old" city or the central part and the modern city. With historical architecture from the 19th century, coexisting with glass skyscrapers of the 21st, the place is a perfect blend between the old and modern faces of the city. The major attractions and places like movie theatres, schools, cultural centres, shopping malls, parks, etc. can be found along this road. The entire street takes part in a great Christmas celebration and it hosts one of the largest new year celebration party. Watching the performance of the street artists, shopping or relaxing at a bar table on the sidewalk watching the people can be a perfect fun time at Paulista Avenue.

Must See

  • Conjunto Nacional, a historical building from 1953. 
  • House of Coronel Joaquim Franco de Mello, the oldest building in the avenue.
  • Colégio São Luís, one of the oldest high school in this area.

How to reach
