Bulevar de Sabana Grande

Fodor's Review:

One area that continues to draw crowds is the Bulevar de Sabana Grande. Once a main traffic thoroughfare, this is a bustling promenade where Caraqueños converge to browse in the tiny shops or chat over a marrón grande (large coffee) in one of the many cafés that line the streets. On weekends, browse among the endless rows of stalls or take in performances by mimes, musicians, or even flame-swallowers. The area can be crowded, so be wary of pickpockets.
