Not independently verified — estimated Costs nothing and never closes, so it works as a stroll at any hour or budget.
Not independently verified — estimated The central stretch is traffic-loud, shadeless, and lined with interchangeable chain cafés rather than anything local.
Not independently verified — estimated At full length it's a 7km out-and-back with little shade, so midsummer middays can be a slog.
