Old Havana (Habana Vieja)
A UNESCO-listed colonial core of restored plazas and crumbling facades side by side — the contrast is part of Havana's character, not something being fully polished away.
Malecón Seafront
An 8km seawall promenade where Habaneros gather every evening — no single attraction, but the place to feel the city's actual rhythm away from museum visits.
Classic Convertible Car Tour
Havana's fleet of 1950s American cars, kept running through decades of improvisation, double as taxis and tour vehicles — an open-top ride along the Malecón is a genuine Havana rite of passage.
Plaza de la Catedral
A baroque square built around Havana's cathedral, its uneven paving stones giving it a distinctive texture — ringed by restaurants and small art galleries.
Fábrica de Arte Cubano
A former cooking-oil factory converted into an experimental art, music, and nightlife space — one ticket covers multiple galleries, bars, and live performance areas inside.
El Capitolio
Havana's answer to the US Capitol, built just before it and briefly the tallest building in Cuba — recently restored and open for interior tours.
