The Financial District of São Paulo
The Financial District
Av. Paulista is the face of São Paulo’s financial district. Skyscrapers housing the city’s banks and businesses have spread all around this street, which once housed coffee barons and early industrialists. You’ll notice that the pace quickens here and is more like Wall Street’s than Copacabana’s. The financial district has several exclusive hotels, lots of excellent dining spots and several cultural centers that offer art exhibits and classical music. The most attractive center is Casa das Rosas (House of Roses) at #37. Built by a French family in 1935, it remained their home till 1986 when the city purchased it and created the center.
The city’s Fine Arts Museum (MASP) is also on Av. Paulista, at #1578. It displays works by Renoir, Van Gogh and Degas, along with works by well-known Brazilian artists. An antiques fair is held in the promenade below the museum on Sundays.
