Essential Information: When you go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Although much of Havana is very walkable, you will need to rely on other forms of transport for sights that are a little further away. Cabs are everywhere, but prepare to haggle for a reasonable price. Alternatively, you can even hire a two-seater bici-taxi for short or long distances, or rent out a bicycle.
Embrace the Havana nightlife
From salsa dancing in bars to flamboyant cabaret shows, Havana has a wealth of nightlife that'll suit all. The Tropicana is one of the most iconic night spots in Havana, boasting all-singing, all-dancing shows several days a week. The shows have been running since 1939, and have welcomed stars of the silver screen including Marlon Brando and Greta Garbo. Elsewhere, there are plenty of vibrant bars and restaurants open until late. Be sure to sip some daiquiris at Ernest Hemingway’s favourite haunt El Floridita, and step into La Bodeguita del Medio which claims to be the birthplace of the mojito.
Embrace The Cuban History
Sightseeing opportunities abound throughout Havana, with the Museum of the Revolution being at the centre of it all. It’s housed in the former palace of dictator Fulgencio Batista, and gives a comprehensive look at all of the events leading up to the revolution - led by Fidel Castro - between 1953 and 1959. Other areas of the city that will interest history lovers include Plaza de la Revolución, which was the site of multiple political rallies, and the imposing National Capitol Building. The charming cobbled streets of Old Havana have many a tale to tell, with the UNESCO world heritage site unfolding to reveal Neoclassical and Baroque buildings, churches and smaller museums.
