Boulevard of Sabana Grande

Boulevard of Sabana Grande is a pedestrian zone stretching about 1.5 kilometers through eastern Caracas with continuous rows of shops and shaded tree-lined pathways. The area displays multiple buildings in modern 20th century architectural styles alongside the commercial facilities.

The street began in 1743 as Calle Real de Sabana Grande, serving as a connection between central Caracas and eastern estates with horse and mule transportation. Over time this route evolved into the modern pedestrian boulevard visitors see today.

The Immaculate Conception Church in Recreo neighborhood stands as a focal point where visitors pause between shopping and walking, its modern architectural design reflecting 20th century religious building traditions. The boulevard itself functions as a social gathering space where locals and travelers interact throughout the day.

Three metro stations serve the boulevard: Plaza Venezuela, Sabana Grande, and Chacaíto, positioned along the route for easy access and navigation. Visitors can enter or exit at any station depending on which section they want to explore.

The William Phelps Ornithological Collection located here holds the largest collection of preserved bird specimens in Latin America. Visitors often miss this remarkable resource while walking through the main boulevard area.
