    Old Havana is just that old buildings with a mix of upscale restaurants and hotels. There are lots of stray dogs roaming around and doing their business on the sidewalks and streets. I’m talking dog crap everywhere. Most bars and restaurants don’t have toilet paper so bring your own. Overall, it’s a good place to visit.

    Very beautiful square, always full of people. A lot of bars and restaurants near by. A couple of places have free WI FI so check it.

    At day I ran into a trumpet player playing the godfather theme and later met a homeless person who told me that he was a Olympic boxer when he was young.
    At night the Malecon is buzzing with people of all ages having a drink, talking, laughing and just having a good time. Like the waves washing against it, we often ended up here after having danced the night away in the casa de la musica nearby.

    Can't come to Havana and see the cathedral. the square is lovely and largely restored and the cathedral entrance is free. Avoid a lot of the touts trying to get you to their restaurants, as the better ones are off the square. The plaza is a straight line walk from Prado.

    Visited here during our stay in Havana.

    Took a taxi from Parque central ($50 return, taxi waited whilst we went in for an hour). Taxi was around 20-30 mins each way.

    100 CUP entry per person.

    Very cool to see, amazing work! And neighbouring homes also replicated his work. Makes it a very vibrant neighbourhood.

    Worth the journey to see.

    Can purchase some art in the shop or from neighbours outside.

    I DON’T KNOW WHY THIS VENUE IS LISTED AS TEMPORARILY CLOSED ON TRIPADVISOR BUT IT IS ā€œOPENā€. The venue has reopened more than a year ago after the pandemic. But this is a great venue full of art, music, culture and live musical performances and DJs. It’s a very diverse venue with all types of music and performers with art pieces everywhere. The food and drinks are excellent. Definitely a must on the itinerary in Havana. It’s $500 Cuban Pesos to enter which is about $2.00 USD. Be sure to keep your ticket because they stamp your ticket for whatever you eat or drink and you pay when you exit.

    Morro Castle is a must-see historical site for anyone visiting Havana. The castle offers stunning views of the Havana skyline and the ocean. The architecture is impressive, and the history of the castle is fascinating to learn about. You can explore the interior of the castle, including the various rooms and corridors, and learn about its role in defending Havana.

    Visited here as the Museum of Revolution was closed. We paid 125 pesos per person to access Cuban art gallery. Takes around an hour to walk around both levels. Modern building, air con inside. Gift shop and cafe available.

    This building is simply beautiful on the outside in every lighting!

    Unfortunately it closes at 4 on Saturday, is shut Sunday and Monday.

    A guided tour is mandatory at 20 USD per person with the first one starting at 10am. Unfortunately we didn’t have time but I’m sure it’s wonderful inside.

    This is the oldest of the four mains squares in old Havana and if you are in Havana you should see it. The square dates from the 1700's.

    At first look it is not but a huge empty space, but because it is meant to gather a huge crowd during celebrations.
    The main icones are the two faces on the state buildings, also a good place to see the old cars which bring tourists.

    What I came to Cuba for! Really interesting to see the furniture in place and all Hemigway's books and possessions. Disappointed that the dining room was cleared of furniture as I really wanted to see that. Also the tower where he wrote was closed up. I liked the visit to the Pilar, his boat which is now in the tennis court.

    The main thing though, although I knew about it before we visitred, was that one could only look into the rooms from outside. I can understand their reasonings. Was also disppointed not to see any cats arouynd as I was under the impressions there were dozens of them, descendants of the original Hemingway animals.

    We went to Playa Santa Maria del Mar which is very popular among locals. We purposely picked a Sunday knowing it would be somewhat crowded with families and others from the area. Great cultural experience. There was some loud music and trash (most of which was picked up upon leaving). The beach is stunning with dunes and great vegetation. There was also a shack that had the freshest grilled snapper that I had during my stay in Cuba.

    I visited the theatre šŸŽ­ two weeks ago it was really nice specially the building outside and the details. I sit every night in the bar just next to it to see the details of this beautiful building, but the inside the big stage was close cause of renovations I would love to see it all inside .

    This is a a historical site, a fortress with a beautiful view overlooking the water and Havana. This visit will take about 45 minutes and will take you through many old buildings. I highly recommend this visit. The cost is about $3.00 dollars.
