Great way to spend an evening promenade in old Havana. Don't forget to bring a good cigar and walk in the evening at the Malecon.

RESERVE as soon as you know you are going to Havana! The food was the best we had in Cuba and absolutely delicious. Everything from the traditional beef to fresh fish was mouth watering. Very enjoyable drinks and the ambiance is one of a kind. Great for a long late lunch to really slip into vacation mode.

Amazing food, cheap cocktails, and friendly service! Highly recommend the sausage appetizer the crockets and all pork dishes! They have a table in a cage (super cool), and they menu is creative! Feel like a local hipster and eat good food for a fraction of the cost of other comparable restaurants!

Definitely, there is nice view of the ocean and sunset, I highly recommend to make your reservations around the sunset period. Also, requested your table either by the the pool or at the second floor. Before we got there, we thought the table by the sea would be the best.

SANTY Restaurant - A little bit far from the center and hidden from tourists, this amazing sushi paladar is worth special journey. Ceviches, sushi, and amazingly fresh seafood in a wooden construction over the small fishing harbor in Jaimanitas. 10CUC gives you a plate of sashimi/ceviche/sushi.

Drinks & Nightlife
A must visit if you are in La Habana. The show lasts two hours, but it goes quickly. They have a variety of performances including acrobatics, dancing, and singing. All with live music. On arrival, they give a Habano to the men, and they offer a glass of champagne, a bottle of rum for every four people.

I adored Hemmingway and had to stop by this little bar that he loved just half a block from Plaza de Catedral. Yes, it gets crowded, but I got a bar stool, so I was happy. A little mariachi band managed to squeeze in behind us. What a lark! The mojitos had plenty of rum and fresh mint. Stick with the mojitos. Their food was not that great.

Jazz!
If you want great music when you visit Havana, you must spend time seeing La Zorra y El Cuervo on Calle 23. We arrived at 10:00 pm when they open and waited in the long queue. Our 45 minute wait was completely worth the wait.

This is a nice little spot right across the street from the Hotel Melia Cohiba. Good jazz and decent drinks. The combo we saw featured a good frontman on vocals and horn, a very good bass player on one of today's obligatory 6-string instruments, great drummer, and a good guitarist.

Come here for a sunset drink, overlooking the sea. It is a step back in time, wonderfully restored, ideal setting. Great pina coladas. View of the ocean is spectacular. Walking distance from the apt.

“Must see area of Havana. True essence!”
Wear good walking shoes. Plenty of cobbles. Get lost in the squares and alleyways. Stop for a long lunch at the many quaint places.

Other squares nearby but this was our favorite architecturally and lots of folks simply taking in the aura. Hemingway's local bar is just a couple of blocks away.

The park is lovely with rows of American class cars, horse carriages and people just enjoying the environment. It's nice to walk through the park and see everything around and enjoy the architecture.

Granma Memorial is just behind the Revolution Museum where you can see the famous Granma itself and some other vehicles used during the revolution, planes and the tank used by Fidel Castro at The Bay of Pigs.But at the same time, it will be a nice experience to see The Revolution Museum.

Around Plaza de Armas you can find local people selling old books, coins, old lp's and such things on the street. It is also very close to Castillo de la Real Fuerza which is a nice small castle, a museum at the same time which has a beautiful view of the sea and the city. A good place to rest during your visit to old Havana.

El Morro, is marvelous both during the day and at night. You go to El Morro by passing through a tunnel so def. You have to take a taxi. If you get there around 6 pm, you can find a chance to catch the sunset and have enough time to walk around. There are several restaurants nearby as well and at 9 pm there is the ceremony of shooting the cannon.

As you approach the entrance to the University of Havana, you have the many steps to walk up to the campus. Interesting history, as Fidel Castro was a law student here in 1945 and it was here that he entered the world of political activism. It is only a few blocks from the condo.

Looks impressive and good to see with your own eyes. There is plenty to see and you can go up the tower/ monument to get an aerial view of surrounding area/ city. It's not far from the apt. It's fun to go there in a coco taxi.

This building dates to the early years of the 20th century. It has been superbly maintained and restored to show all the glories of its architecture. There is a guided tour available, usually in several languages, for a small charge You can also book for performances. One of the finest architectural gems in Havana.

If you are taking the ferry across from Havana to Casablanca, to experience the cannon ceremony, you'll walk up to the statue, on your way. It's pretty cool and lots of folks having out; some musicians playing; and a great view of Havana, especially watching the sunset!

Arts & Culture
This is a great place for the young jet set. Lots of cool, contemporary art, and roaming performances. You might catch an impromptu dance set or hear local musicians. There's an upscale bar, and a great restaurant on the rooftop and lots of fantastic people watching. Lines can get long.

Anyone in the arts—this is a place you must visit. An actual working silkscreen shop that produces some of the fine art prints you've either bought off have been coveting during your trip to Havana. This operation houses many silkscreen tables as well as letterpress machines. Consider having letterpress business cards printed during your stay (if time permits.)

Water is great body surfing is super fun, and waves were perfect. Ate at the restaurant near where our taxi dropped us off (ask the taxi driver, they have different drop-off points at the beach). The service lobster plate and it was delicious. We took beers from there to the beach.
