Photo of Havana n°1: Paseo del Prado

This is one of the busiest avenues in Havana: the Paseo de Martí, also called Paseo del Prado, is 1 km long and, like the Malecon, it is never empty. Starting from the Fortress San Salvador de la Punta, this beautiful paved and shady avenue brings together locals, tourists and street vendors.

Photo of Havana n°2: Plaza de la Revolución

1 million is the number of people that the Plaza de la Revolución can accommodate. On festive days, such as July 26th, the day of the Cuban Revolution, the people of Havana gather in this square to commemorate important events. The plaza itself is quite unremarkable, but don’t miss the two huge portraits (hard to miss!) of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos, illuminated at night.

The “Plaza Vieja” is a must-see in Old Havana. It is a beautifully renovated square with eclectic architecture and several restaurants and cafes. It is full of terraces and restaurants, as well as strange sculptures and a very striking fountain In and around the square there are several nice stops: the microbrewery La Factoria, the rum museum, the chocolate museum, the pharmacy museum…

Photo of Havana n°5: El Capitolio

El Capitolio est un autre monument incontournable, situé sur une avenue très fréquentée qui se voit de loin. Construit sur le modèle du Capitole de Washington, il était autrefois le siège du gouvernement cubain et abrite aujourd'hui l'Académie des sciences. Très photogénique, ce bâtiment se retrouve sur un grand nombre de cartes postales du pays.

Photo of Havana n°6: Bodeguita del Medio

La Bodeguita del Medio It is famous for its mojito, Hemingway has already written on the walls, “My mojito in the Bodeguita, my Daiquiri in La Floridita”. Full of pictures and walls written in pen remembering who has been there, it is the trace of the past and present. Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Neruda or Nicolás Guillén passed by this little winery.

They are the predominant cars, Americans from the time of Batista’s dictatorship. Now many are completely rebuilt, with a brightness that gives light to the streets of Havana.

Photo of Havana n°8: Picture of Havana n° Hotel Inglaterra

Avec le Ballet national de Cuba, il se distingue par sa propreté et son architecture. Il se distingue encore plus à côté du reste des bâtiments.

It’s probably one of the most expensive hotels in the city along with the Hotel Nacional or the Habana Libre in Vedado.

Photo of Havana n°9: El Floridita

If you just want to check it out, you could simply opt for a Daiquiri at the bar. It is impossible to omit the address: in the 1930s and 1940s, a plethora of artists followed one another there. It was Hemingway’s favorite for place to take daiquirís. A statue pays homage to the writer.

Photo of Havana n°10: Gran Teatro

C'est peut-être le bâtiment le plus spectaculaire de la ville, de style néo-baroque, rempli de statues en pierre. Il a été inauguré en 1834, presque deux cents ans plus tard, il éblouit le début du Paseo del Prado.

Photo of Havana n°12: Carnaval de La Habana

Le carnaval introduit par les Espagnols s'est imposé comme une fête nationale populaire. Intégrant les traditions africaines, tant en musique qu'en danse, il est aujourd'hui l'un des éléments centraux de l'identité culturelle cubaine.

Between 15 July and 15 August, the Malecón of Havana vibrates every weekend to the rhythm of music, dances and float parades. The comparsas (large popular troupes) are having a blast. The public, installed on bleachers or standing along the avenues, enjoy the show.
Une fois le défilé terminé, les spectateurs se rendent à leur tour sur les avenues.
La bière et le rhum coulent à flots, autant de stimulants généreux pour la bonne humeur !

Photo of Havana n°13: Callejón de Hamel

Cette rue unique est le repaire d'une population pleine d'espoir, mi-artiste, mi-hippie. Toujours bondée le dimanche, cette rue est devenue un passage obligé pour les touristes, mais elle est surtout fréquentée par les locaux, qui y chantent et y dansent jusqu'à l'aube, ou s'installent pour boire un verre en terrasse pour refaire le monde.

The Malecón, a mythical promenade along the sea, is one of the must-see places in Havana. 8 km long, the seafront stretches to the north of the city and connects old Havana with the Miramar district. No matter what time of day or season, the Malecon is always lively.

Partant de la forteresse San Salvador de la Punta, cette belle avenue pavée et ombragée rassemble les habitants, les touristes et les vendeurs de rue. Sa promenade centrale, remplie de sculptures de lions vigilants, vous permet de regarder des deux côtés et d'admirer des bâtiments incroyables et impressionnants.
