Paseo del Prado is a main street in Havana, Cuba. It is the dividing line between Centro Habana and Old Havana.

In 1772, French landscape architect Jean-Claude Nicolas Forestier designed the paseo, lined with trees and with marble benches.

Lining the boulevard are important buildings such as hotels, cinemas, theaters, and mansions imitating styles from Madrid, Paris and Vienna. El Prado was the first paved street in Havana.
