Manuel L. Quezon Avenue, more often called Quezon Avenue or simply Quezon Ave, is a 6.1-kilometer (3.8 mi) major thoroughfare in Metro Manila named after President Manuel Luis Quezon, the second president of the Philippines. The avenue starts at the Quezon Memorial Circle and runs through to the Welcome Rotonda near the boundary of Quezon City and Manila.
Lined with palm trees and other species of tree on its center island and spanning six to fourteen lanes, it is a major north-south and east-west corridor of Quezon City. Many government and commercial buildings line the road. At its north end, Triangle Park, one of Quezon City's Central Business Districts, is the third most important industrial center in the city. At its south end, it connects Quezon City to the capital Manila. It is a regular route for vehicles from Quezon City leading to Manila, as the highway provides access to Quiapo and the University Belt.
