Paulista Avenue (called Avenida Paulista in Portuguese) is one of the most important streets in São Paulo, Brazil. The word Paulista means someone born in São Paulo state.

This famous avenue is about 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) long. It runs from the northwest to the southeast part of the city. It starts at Praça Marechal Cordeiro de Farias and ends at Praça Oswaldo Cruz. Paulista Avenue goes through several neighborhoods like Paraíso, Bela Vista, and Jardim Paulista.

Paulista Avenue is a very important place in São Paulo. Many big banks and cultural places have their main offices here. It's known as a symbol of the city's economic and political power. People often gather here for important events and protests.

The avenue is also a great place for shopping. You can find many stores and places to eat. It's home to the MASP, which is one of the biggest art museums in South America.

Because Paulista Avenue is on one of the highest points in São Paulo, it has many radio and TV station antennae. It's also a major hub for the city's subway and bus lines, making it easy to get around.
