City Tour Havana
Havana. Cultural; Tours and sightseeing.
Havana is the largest city in the Caribbean and the center of all things Cuban.
Plaza San Francisco de Asís – Plaza de la Catedral – Plaza Vieja – Plaza de Armas – Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (City Museum) – Capitol – Parque Central – Bar-restaurant Floridita and Bodeguito del medio – University of Havana – Plaza de la Revolución (Revolution Square) and the boulevard Malecón.
The Parque Morro- Cabaña was one of the greatest defenses ever built by the Spaniards in what was then called the New World. The fort is on the other side of Havana Bay and offers spectacular views over the city.
Despite its turbulent history, Havana suffered little damage in the country’s wars and revolutions and stands today much as it was built 100 years ago or more. There’s an air of faded glory about the city as big ’50s and ’60s American automobiles still dominate the streets, and paint and plaster peel off everywhere. The city is peppered with glorious Spanish colonial architecture, much of which is under restoration.
Overview
Havana has a swinging nightlife, with cinemas, historic theatres, cabarets, nightclubs and music venues that will exhaust even the most hardened campaigner. There’s less traffic and less commercialization than choke your average Latin American city. But from the rough brilliance of Old Havana to residential areas ranging from shabby to demanding demolition, the exuberant friendliness of Havana’s inhabitants is what shines through.
