paseo del prado

又名马蒂大道，是仿马德里的Paseo大道修建的。连接了哈瓦那地标Capitolio和海滨大道。Paseo大道上终年绿树成荫，树荫下是古巴艺术家的露天长廊，有很多画作出售。`

Prado is wide, surrounded by beautiful buildings, full of people. you can sit down in a shadow and enjoy. Sunday afternoon sell arts and local crafts.Colorful.

If you had time to walk just one street in Havana to get a feel for the place, it's Paseo del Prado. The people, the cars, the history, the culture, and the bustle overflow.

a Great long pedestrian street to visually admire Havana and get lost in your thoughts. It was never too crowded and you find a good mix of locals and tourists walking by.

This is where all the tourists go, including us. Shops are interesting and mostly local. The people just walk up and down, and as yeasty, you'll start to recognise people you've seen before. We'll soon see the likes of Louis Vitton and Gucci. It's a pity as I think Havana will just blend into the world "look" The only good thing is that MacDonalds still hasn't arrived yet, but watch this space.

This is a monument to past glories. The granite walls are intact and the lights and bronze lions are a reminder of long ago.I noticed school-children from a school nearby doing their PE in the centre of the Passeo.

This is a beautiful avenue leading down to the sea and the Malecon. There are always displays of art. it is shaded on both sides by trees.

Paseo del Prado is a tree-lined alle in the centre of Havana, leading slowly downhill from Capitolio Nacional to Malecon and ocean front. Many famous hotels of the city are concentrated along Prado, such as Telegrafo, Inglaterra, Parque Central, Plaza etc. There is also a number of cafés and restaurants there can be found, as well as excursion sellers and horse carriages ready to give a ride. A lot of street artists gathered along this promenade, presenting their pieces of art, everything from paintings to jewellery and from clothing to handmade souvenirs. The allé is about 2 km long and ornamented with a number of nice pairs of large lions sitting opposite each other. Walking in the shadow of large trees and watching all those remarkable old facades, partly unrepaired, partly in fantastically nice condition and all very picturesque, give a really complete picture of old days Havana.

The best way to view the Prado is the old fashioned way. At Palacio de Atesiana, negotiate with the guy who wants to sell you an entire tour, and just demand to go down the Prado. I was a mug and paid 10 CUC. It isn't that far, 5 ought to have been enough. Once at the Capitol, plenty to do and see. Look out for Los Nardos restaurant, though queues build up unless you go early.

This was near our hotel and a great way to get to the Malecon. It was so much more pleasant (and quieter and safer) than walking on the sidewalk. I enjoyed the art and entertainment we happend on some days.

Lovely place to wander either day or night, just be conscious of the 'jintaros' the rip off merchants - they are not aggressive but will try to get you do give them something.

Nice place to go for a walk and to wonder how beautiful is was back when the buildings were new and to wonder what kind of life the people living there today has.

Prado is a boulevard, that has a pedestrian walkway at its center, with vehicular traffic on the outside of the pedestrian walkway. It's a great place to stroll down, as there are artists showcasing their work, locals and tourists wandering about, and interesting buildings to look at along the way.

Still impressing with a lot of street life it is easy to imagine how it was 100-150 years ago in its hight of glory. It will hopefully be restored to what it used to be when there is money enough.

This promenade gives you the opportunity to enjoy Havana's architecture and access different hotels and other places of interest like banks or restaurants.During weekends Paseo del Prado is filled with artists who sell their art.
