Broad Street
Monrovia’s main thoroughfare and the heart of the old town, lined with government buildings, shops and colonial-era architecture.
Broad Street runs through the peninsula where Monrovia’s old town sits, and it is the capital’s main commercial street. Along it you will see the National Museum, the Centennial Memorial Pavilion, City Hall and older buildings in the Americo-Liberian style, some with balconies. Street vendors, motorbike taxis and cabs stream past all the time. It is best explored on foot during the day, connecting the National Museum, the Grand Masonic Temple and the Ducor Hotel ruins. Traffic is chaotic, so cross the street carefully. Walking alone at night is not recommended.
