Avenida Revolución is the tourist center in Tijuana, Baja California, México.

It was the first paved road of the 20th century, an important center of economic development, and a tourist attraction notable for the visitors who crossed the border daily from San Diego, California. The city's most remarkable development was during the Prohibition period and after World War II, since it was considered a center of prohibited entertainment for inhabitants of the United States. During this time Caesar salad was invented at the restaurant of Hotel Caesar. Currently, the street is the center of tourist activity. The long avenue is home to several distinct attractions, from cantinas and table dance bars to numerous dance clubs and art galleries.

The "Revo" begins at the intersection with Avenida Internacional (which runs across the Mexico-United States border) and terminates in the Torre de Tijuana where the street intersects with Blvd. Fundadores and the name changes to Boulevard Agua Caliente, running east for many kilometers through a higher-end business district.

Avenida Revolución has experienced many changes, and is known as the business card of Tijuana, "The most visited city in the world". It was known for its famous cantinas including, "La Ballena", the largest bar in the world when it was open. The city was popular with American Navy sailors until the United States Navy prohibited sailors from visiting Tijuana.
