Introduction

Avenida Paulista is São Paulo's financial and cultural artery, flanked by skyscrapers, bank headquarters and art museums, most strikingly the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) whose glass body bridges the avenue on slender pillars. On Sundays the road becomes a car-free promenade and bike lane where citizens cycle, dance and browse book fairs; it is also Brazil's favoured stage for major protests and rallies. By day a showcase of urban bustle, by night a neon spectacle, it is the first stop to read São Paulo's modern pulse. The avenue's cafés and indie bookshops are daily windows into this immigrant city's diverse character.
