Calle Larga
A historic street along the cliff above the Tomebamba River, lined with museums, craft shops, restaurants and bars; it is Cuenca's main nightlife street.
Calle Larga (Long Street) runs along the southern edge of the historic centre. Many colonial and republican-era houses here have been turned into boutique hotels, cafés and craft beer bars, and several museums are also on the street. Stone stairways such as the Escalinata lead from the south side down to the riverbank. The street is busiest on Thursday to Saturday nights, ideal for dinner and drinks. Free.
