La
Habana,
Havana
Capital
of Habana Province
Its
a spectacular view to see the waves attacking the famous boulevard
"El Malecon". The Malecon is the place where
loving couples walk along the colorful boulevard arm in arm. La
Habana, a city which makes you want to go back in time to when
time seemed slower and the living was easy ... La Habana is old
American cars, cigars, rum, jineteros and la vida Habanera.
Live
music is everywhere, and the Habaneros are performing in order
to earn their daily dosis of convertible pesos, so that
they can buy what they need at the dollar stores to take care
of their families.

Havana's Most Important Districts
 |
Havana
Vieja (old Havana)
This area
has the most colonial buildings and is the most visited
area for tourists who visit Havana but it's also its most
beautiful spot. Foreigners walking through the streets getting
hustled by jineteros, taking pictures or just having a (Cristal)
beer.
Habana's
Vieja is famous for the Catedral de San Cristoal de la Habana
at the Plaza de la Catedral, and for Hemingway's
bar,
"La Bodeguita del Medio", where you can buy an
expensive mojito.

Havana
Centro
The
Capitolio marks the beginning of central Havana, a working
class neighborhood, where alot of buildings are almost in
a total state of collapse. On the other side of the street
you will find Real Fabrica de Tabacos Partagas, one Cuba's
oldest cigar factories. Centro Havana is the place to capture the real life in Cuba's capital. Don't miss it and bring your camera, but don't get robbed ;)

Havana
Vedado
Located
along the waterfront, was developed
during the decades between 1930 and 1960, when Havana developed
as a major destination for U.S. tourists. High-rise hotels, restaurants, and upscale commercial establishments,
many reflecting the then-popular art deco style, mushroomed
in the Vedado district.
In
the late 1990s Vedado represented the principal commercial
area of the city, and its environs were home to a variety
of important landmarks including the
Hotel Nacional,
the University of Havana, and the Colón Cemetery.

Havana
Miramar
Miramar
lies further west along the coast, and retains its exclusive
feel. Foreign embassies, diplomatic residences, upscale
shops, and tourist facilities for wealthy foreigners are
common in the area. But also old beautiful colonial but almost colapsing houses.

Cuba is an amazing country and Havana is an amazing city. Everyone was extremely friendly and very inviting. I met a lady who took me into her home and treated me like one of the family. Although i was staying in a hotel, i stayed with her for a couple days and they treated me very well. I also met some other girls who also took me into their home, making sure that i was always fed and that i was well entertained!!! When i had the chance to spend the day to myself, i explored the many streets of Havana and spent time writing down by the Malecon!!! All in all, my holiday was one of the best I’ve EVER had and the first holiday that I’ve been on by myself with no one to greet me at the airport!!! AMAZING!!!!! |

I spent 6 days in this beautiful city that seems to be frozen in time for the past few decades...vintage cars, baroque style buildings, grand casas and palacios, beautiful courtyards. This was my first visit to Havana, which was declared as an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. This city is probably the only place on Earth with the highest concentration of functional old American cars. And probably the only busy city in the world without any major worldwide chain stores and restaurants.
