What to see in Havana

Havana is a city with a rich history and expressive character, where Spanish colonial architecture coexists with salsa rhythms and antique American cars. Walking through the narrow streets of Viejoy Havana, noisy embankments and green parks create a unique atmosphere: music is always heard, bright facades are visible and the spirit of the Liberty Island is felt. The city preserves traces of centuries – from the first Spanish settlements to modern Cuban art – and invites you to discover your stories step by step.

Manufactures and facilities

Among the man-made sights of Havana, historical squares and monuments are especially distinguished: Old Square (Plaza Vieja), Plaza de San Francisco with a fountain and Fuente de los Leones, Arms Square and Revolution Square with its monuments. The fortresses of El Morro and San Carlos de La Cabaña remind of the maritime protection of the port, and the Palace of Captains-Generals, the Palace of Fine Arts and the Cathedral of St. Cristobal impress with its architecture and expositions. There are memorials to Simon Bolivar, Antonio Maceo and other sculptures on the streets, and the University of Havana and old theaters add cultural wealth to the list of things to see.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions and coastal areas around Havana are no less attractive: the long beaches of Santa Maria del Mar, Bakuranao, Guanabo and Boca Ciega offer white sand and warm sea. The National Botanical Garden with a huge area and the Guanayara National Park in the mountains provide an opportunity to touch tropical nature, and the Las Terracas Reserve and picturesque promenades, including the famous Malecon, become favorite places for walking and watching the sunset. City parks, such as Lenin Park and Francisco Albeara Park, give shade and tranquility away from the city noise.
