400 meters of magnificent views. This is perhaps the best way to describe the Louis Promenade which is situated along Yefe Nof Street in Haifa. Tourists, visitors from out of the city and also locals who desire some quiet time, walk along this promenade which was built in the beginning of 2000. It has many benches, pergolas and cultivated vegetation, but beyond all of these the views of the Haifa bay area with all of its boats and docks, and of the cities of Acre and Naharia and even of Rosh HaNikra and Mount Hermon, make this promenade one of the best ones in all of Israel. It is pretty here at all hours, but the highlight is in the hours of the early evening, a little before and a little after sunset. Night time also provides a spectacular show. From the promenade area there are the Haifa stair paths which will bring you eventually to the lower part of the city.
