The tree-lined Paseo del Prado, which borders Old Havana and is considered by many to be the most beautiful boulevard in Havana, is worth a leisurely stroll.
The terrazzo, marble benches, bronze lions, and iron lampposts give the street the appearance of a grand boulevard from another period, and it was once home to some of Havana’s wealthiest families.
The boulevard is lined with elegant historic cinemas, houses, and hotels from the 19th and 20th centuries, many of which have been meticulously renovated.
At any time of day, the Paseo del Prado is a popular gathering point and people-watching location.
