2025 Havana Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

🌊The great writer Hemingway wrote "The Old Man and the Sea" in 1951 and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. This novel, known as Hemingway's best work, was written in Cuba. Hemingway lived in Havana for a long time because of his love for Cuba, and this former residence has now been developed into a tourist attraction. 🍸Coincidentally, a tavern in Old Havana called La Bodeguita Del Medio also became famous because of Hemingway. "My mojito in La Bodeguita, My daiquiri in El Floridita" written in his own handwriting is still hanging on the wine cabinet in the store. Apparently the other daiquiri mix was the one made by Floridita Tavern that suits him best. 🍹The Five Cent Tavern is always crowded with people, and the bartender’s hands never stop. Everyone comes here because they want to experience the charm of Mojito like Hemingway. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find the way, just follow the direction of the crowd. The great writer Hemingway added a lot to the mysterious Cuba. If you have the opportunity to come to Havana, remember to come to the bistro and order a mojito to taste the parallel time and space with Hemingway❤️ #mojito #Hemingway

🇨🇺Most people's impression of Cuba remains in the 1960s, with its charming retro style, endless colorful cars to take pictures of🚗, delicious rum, awesome baseball⚾️, the best cigars and Che Guevara. Before being sanctioned by the United States, Cuba was a world power. Not only did it have a prosperous economy, but it also ranked among the top in many fields, including medicine, ballet, baseball, and literature. 🚗Cuba is very new. The streets of Havana are filled with gorgeous buildings, making you feel like you are in Europe or America. Although we still use 2G communications, new songs from across the Atlantic can often be released into the country within seconds. Foreign cars are driving on the streets, and a lot of five-star hotels are being built. 🚗Cuba is old. A fashionable retro car may have its door fall off while it is being driven, or the car may have broken parts but has been discontinued, and residential houses may also have marks all over them. This mix of old and new gives people a sense of parallel time and space 🌛Havana at night is a city that never sleeps. Bars everywhere are filled with blues style, and a large number of European and American tourists stand at the door drinking and dancing. In Havana, it feels like time has stopped #havana #retrocar

Havana, the capital of Cuba, the entire country is surrounded by sea, many tourist destinations are on the sea, the capital faces the Gulf of Mexico, and the other side faces the Caribbean Sea, first, the capital characteristic, has an ultra-long ultra-long coastline, whenever the big waves hit the stone, the sea will form a beautiful contrast, blue and white. Another selling point is watching the sunset by the sea. It's really too beautiful and gorgeous. Another famous thing about Cuba is that it has many ancient cars, colorful, colorful convertible ancient cars, only need to spend, there will be someone driving a convertible to take you everywhere to watch, shuttle the city. I myself am a poor traveler, so I mainly walk through the old and new urban areas, the benefits of walking, you can enjoy each street different screens, graffiti, local life, all kinds of markets, shops. Transportation Tips - There are two ways to get from the airport to the city. - You can take a high-ride taxi, but it's more expensive, about $25 a trip, split equally among the lucky four. - Or you can walk out of the airport to find a ride-sharing taxi, which will be cheaper, about $15. - Or walk out of the airport and take the bus, $1.5 dollars, longer time, not necessarily a seat. Food and Restaurants - Locals restaurants, about $2.5-5, tourist restaurants basically start at $10. #cuba #Habana #Old town #old car #graffiti #unparalleled sea view #seaside

#2023travelwish When I landed in Cuba, my airport experience was unlike any other. Havana airport looked straight out of the 1950s At Havanas is just like stepping into the past with the retro cars and building around, backstreets of rundown houses, construction and piles of trash. It was totally under develop. I loved Havana. I spent days wandering around, chatting to friendly locals in parks and exploring around the architecture and riding in one retro car. One of the drawback is very very limited access to the internet . Hotel charge very high fee to access and only each pax have limited access per day. But still will definitely wish to go back to Havana if time permits.

#bucketlistreboot There are many cocktails invented in Cuba, such as Mojito, Cuba Libre and Daiquiri. A visit to Havana will be incomplete without a sip of cocktails. We came to La Bodeguita Del Medio in Havana, said to be where the classic Mojito is invented. As this fact is often disputed, no one actually knows the truth. But one’s visit should not be to seek the verity, but to merely practise humility and sip Mojito in serenity. The Cuban music played here elevates the wonderful atmosphere to a higher level and will truly make it an unforgettable experience. If the floor space of the bar is somehow limited, then feel free to dance away on the streets, for this is the birthplace of the famous dance of Salsa!

#bucketlistreboot Havana is the capital and the largest city in Cuba. It is such a fascinating place; socially and culturally steeped in recent history. We heard so much about the country and yet we know and see so little of it. Not many citizens can visit the country without visa so do not forget to check the requirement before travelling. Most travellers should be able to obtain a tourist card that grants a maximum stay of 30 days. Walking in the city of Havana is like stepping back into history. There has been different artistic influence on the city and therefore the architecture of the city is truly eclectic and never ceases to wonder. #havana #cuba

The museum of the Revolution is housed in a beautiful building: the former presidential palace to all presidents of Cuba prior to the Cuban revolution. The museum's main highlight is the Cuban revolution and seeks to inform its visitors about the event, the Cuban struggle for independence and the events leading up to it. As such, many artifacts from that time are also displayed in the museum. This includes several aircrafts in the back, as well as a tank at the entrance. Apart from this, it's simply amazing to wander the grand rooms of this building and it really shows the lavish opulence of the leaders of the time. The building itself is grand and majestic and is another prime example of neo-classical architecture. The museum is also home to several powerful and color paintings. Overall, the museum is quite informative and there are interesting exhibits. It chronicles the Cuban revolution and is housed in a beautiful building that still stands majestically. Highly recommend as a museum to visit if in Havana. #explore #travel #culture #museum #havana #cuba

Cuba is still not as popular as other countries in the Caribbean. That's mainly because it's difficult for Americans to enter Cuba. But citizens of many other countries will find it much easier. I flew in from Cancun in Mexico and received my visa for Cuba while queuing for the plane. Havana has a feeling like going back in time. Buildings are old and broken, but that is the whole charm of the city, because it is also very colorful. Though the locals are poor, they seem to enjoy life to the fullest in food, dance and alcohol. Stroll around the old town and admire the old churches and other buildings. Visit a bar to sample some rum. Go to a cigar factory to see how they are made. Take a ride in one of the old-timer cars. Explore the local museum. Go for a stroll along the seaside. Whatever you choose to do, you will be sure to have a great time.

Havana, the capital and largest city in Cuba is sight to behold. Several parts of the city seemed to have been frozen in time and its lovely architecture is just awaiting discovery. The historic center of Havana is lovely; art déco buildings are juxtaposed harmoniously against colorful colonial styled buildings. You'll be greeted by majestic art déco theatres and hotels that are picture perfect. The presence of 1950s cars further adds to this allure. A bit further you'll find lovely Spanish styled squares complete with colonial styled cathedrals and churches that are majestic and beautiful in its own way. Being the capital of the country, you'll also find pieces of Cuba's revolutionary past. This is most notable in Plaza de la Revolucion, a part of town that is filled with Brutalist styled buildings and monuments. It is nonetheless very interesting to visit and has an iconic Che Guevara façade. Finally don't forget to spend some time chilling and relaxing along the sea, the Malecon. It's a great place to actually eat, while admiring the city and the sea that surrounds it. Overall, Havana is an absolute gem. You'll find majestic art déco 1950s buildings alongside colonial cathedrals and squares. You'll also find grand monuments that honor its revolutionary past. A great city full of life, energy and discoveries! #explore #travel #city #havana #cuba

Nice activity to do while in Cuba, enjoying this classic car while exploring the city.

Walking down Havana.

Reminiscing about my trip to Cuba Photos taken while walking around downtown Cuba Antique cars and vividly colored buildings make you feel like you've gone back in time Spending time chatting with people singing on the street When I said I was Korean, the conversation started right away with the topic of BTS!! The warm sunlight and gentle breeze With the beautiful cityscape I felt ecstatic I wanted to stay in this city forever... I fell in love with the city Everywhere in Havana is a photo spot, you can't help but take pictures I really recommend traveling to Havana, Cuba! #CubaTravel #SoloTravel #Cuba #Travel #LifeShot #Havana

Havana, the capital of Cuba, also known by the song Havana This small country in the Caribbean is a communist country The atmosphere of the city is really retro Classic cars and buildings that feel the passage of time Pastel-toned buildings with a feeling of the 80s People are very friendly and kind If you wander the streets of Havana (Havana), You will quickly make many friends Cuba with a vintage feel I really recommend traveling!!! #CubaTravel #SoloTravel #Havana #HavanaTravel #Cuba #RetroFeeling

Hello! Do you remember the filming location of the drama Boyfriend, Traveler, where Ryu Jun-yeol and Lee Je-hoon filmed?!! Now, it has become one of the travel romantic places for Koreans, ‘Cuba’! The sunset at ✨Malecon Beach in Havana✨ is really pretty, but it is said that it is hard to see it often because the weather is unpredictable. I was able to see the beautiful sunset only one day out of three! If you stay in Havana, you can walk to the beach for about 30 minutes, so if you didn’t see it on the first day, I recommend going the next day, or even once during your stay, to see the sunset!! It is really really pretty, and it feels like Italy, so it’s strange. I recommend arriving around 5-5:30 PM 💙 Not only the sunset, but the buildings lit up with yellow lights at night are also pretty, so enjoy them 🌊 #CubaTravel #Beach #SunsetRestaurant #Malecon #Havana #Cuba

I went to Cuba at the end of February last year😄 Today's photos are of Havana, Cuba during the day I don't remember the names of the spots, but Havana isn't that big, so if you look around a bit, you'll be able to visit all the places in the photos!! The first, second, and fourth photos are Havana alleys The third photo is Old Square The last photo is Malecon #CubaTravel #HavanaTravel #Malecon #HavanaHotPlace #EuropeanFeeling

Caribbean Sea-view Guest House | Havana, Cuba - This guest house is called Casa Blanca. For my first two days in Havana, I reserved a room in a hotel near the Caribbean Sea from which I had a great view of the sunrise and sunset. The balcony here is connected to dining hall, which looks out onto the Malecón. You can have breakfast while admiring the sea.

Strolling Around Magical Cuba - Cuba is one of the world's few socialist countries. Walking down the street, you'll see many American automobiles from the 1950s. These old cars exist in harmony with dilapidated brick buildings, pulling you back into the past.

Don't miss La Bodeguita del Medio in Cuba. Come and have a drink with us in Hemingway's favorite bar! Havana used to be a literary community attracting writers, directors, musicians, and journalists to enjoy great conversation in the bohemian ambiance.

📍 Cuba Havana A country overflowing with leisure I think this word best suits Cuba They live leisurely, enjoy salsa dancing, and sing That's how they live Maybe that's why in Cuba, instead of rushing around, you can walk leisurely and enjoy yourself When you have leisure, you can also see the surrounding scenery that you might have passed by! Isn't it so pretty??? #CubaTravel #HavanaTravel #CentralAmericaTravel #WinterTravel

1 years ago.In Cuba 🇨🇺 Havana city Havana un na na #awesomepic#travel#havana#cuba

#国外游 Continuing from the previous article about Laguardia restaurant, you will see mottled murals, the Cuban flag and the portrait of Che Guevara. It turns out that the restaurant is combined with the residential building, which makes people feel even more unique. It is very distinctive and suitable for taking photos. #Overseas Travel

#国外游 The restaurant is not located in the old town, and it takes some time to walk here in Cuba where there is no internet. It is said that this restaurant is a must-visit for many celebrities when they come to Havana. We had made reservations online before, and the food was really good, different from other Havana restaurants. I recommend everyone to check in here! #Overseas Travel

If you come to Havana, Cuba, you must try the old car tour. I did the [1-hour downtown course + course that takes you to Morro Fort, a famous sunrise spot in Havana], and I negotiated the price for 30 Cook (about 36,000 won) for 3 people. Please note that red or hot pink old cars are pretty and look good in photos!

Havanaunana~ Havana, the capital of Cuba, is a paradise for old cars! Cuba still uses old cars that were imported before diplomatic relations with the United States were severed. The ride is rough, but it's very charming! You can also take an old car tour in downtown Havana.

The Malecon beach in Havana, Cuba, which became famous after appearing in the drama Boyfriend! It is also a famous place that appeared in famous movies such as Fast & Furious. The waves crashing into the Malecon and the old cars running along the breakwater You can only see this here in Cuba!

Posing in front of one of the vintage cars in Havana, Cuba. Cuba offers a rich cultural experience and Havana is a charming city.
