Don\u2019t miss these top 10 things to do on your visit!<\/p>\n<p>Havana\u2019s curving coastal road is best viewed from the seat of a <strong>convertible Detroit classic<\/strong>. Take your pick of 1950s American beauties &#8211; Chevvies, Cadillacs or Fords in hues of canary yellow, candy floss pink or turquoise blue. With their top downs and your driver doing all the work, you\u2019ll have panoramic views of salt-bitten buildings along the Malec\u00f3n, the mercurial sea, castles, and a cluster of high-rises behind the cream-coloured iconic National Hotel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1873 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1173\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1.jpg 1173w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1-1024x756.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1-768x567.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1-750x554.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture1-1-1140x842.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1173px) 100vw, 1173px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For almost 10 years, an artsy powerhouse in an ex-factory building has been luring Cuba\u2019s creatives and curious visitors for its incredible programme of dance, live music, fashion walks, theatre, and photography. At the mural decorated <strong>F\u00e1brica de Arte Cubano<\/strong>, come for the shows, the buzz, the indie concessions, bars, and the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Discover Havana\u2019s thriving <strong>art scene<\/strong>. Check out the Museum of Fine Arts where you\u2019ll find the pop art of Ra\u00fal Mart\u00ednez, paintings by Manuel Mendive and Wifredo Lam infused with African symbolism, the bold colours of Amelia Pel\u00e1ez, and the thought-provoking work of Antonia Eiriz, Sandra Ramos and Esterio Segura. Then, hit Havana\u2019s streets with guidebook <em>Cutting Edge Art in Havana: 100 Cuban Artists<\/em> and tour private studios of artists across the capital.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban culture is dipped in rum. Savour this most delicious of drinks on a guided tour of the <strong>Museum of Havana Club Rum<\/strong>. With your new spirit know-how, bar hop your way through the city. The museum\u2019s guided tour is excellent and is followed by a rum tasting session at its long, wooden bar. Following the tour, hit the city\u2019s bars for cocktails and tipples. At El Floridita, once frequented by Hemingway, ask for a daiquiri perfected to the writer\u2019s wish, and at El del Frente, its moreish double-strength mojitos.<\/p>\n<p>Fidel Castro smoked a Cohiba especially crafted for him. Get the lowdown on Cuba\u2019s cigars, the island\u2019s most famous export, on a visit to a cigar-making factory in Centro Havana. The relocated <strong>Partag\u00e1s Cigar Factory<\/strong> tour talks you through each delicate process from tobacco seed to luxury smoke. You\u2019ll see workers rolling cigars for brands such as Montecristo and staff preparing cigar boxes made from cedar, with their powerful scent.<\/p>\n<p>Havana\u2019s old city, <strong>La Habana Vieja<\/strong>, covers a couple of square miles of elegant historic buildings: Spanish colonial villas, cobbled squares, churches, and civic buildings. With fountains in pretty patios, stained glass windows, wooden balconies, and wooden shuttered windows, it\u2019s a glorious ancient warren of streets to wander on foot. Make sure you see Old Havana\u2019s four main plazas: Plaza de Armas, Cathedral, Old, and San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1874 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1.jpg 602w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture2-1-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stroll the leafy streets of Cuba\u2019s bourgeois <strong>El Vedado<\/strong> neighbourhood lined with wedding cake mansions, gated villas, and small parks. Calle 17 takes you past the impressive Decorative Arts Museum, a former private mansion, and west to John Lennon Park. Don\u2019t miss the city of angels, Havana\u2019s Christopher Columbus Necropolis, best visited with a guide.<\/p>\n<p>Cuba\u2019s stellar<strong> culture<\/strong> is world renowned. Catch the lilting sounds of <em>son<\/em>, the energetic percussive tunes of salsa or party with the latest Cuban DJ at a rooftop bar. Fancy theatre or dance? Check out billboards at the Gran Teatro opposite central park and keep your ears to the ground for dance, ballet, jazz, and percussion festivals and events.<\/p>\n<p>Down in the southern lanes of Old Havana, Cuban artists and foreign street artists spray paint the peeling colourful walls of San Isidro district. Once a former roaming ground of a famous early 20<sup>th<\/sup>-century pimp Alberto Yarini, San Isidro is changing with its mural revolution. Stroll <strong>San Isidro Art District<\/strong> on foot south of Jes\u00fas Mar\u00eda Street. Spearheading the change is well-known actor Jorge Perugorr\u00eda who, along with his sons, opened Galer\u00eda Taller Gorria for showcasing contemporary art. Above is the family\u2019s popular rooftop bar Yarini.<\/p>\n<p>Havana\u2019s new wave of creative entrepreneurs have changed Havana. Just 15 years ago you\u2019d pack your bags with souvenirs of rum, cigars, socialist badges, papier mache models and handworked lace. Today the <strong>indie shopping scene<\/strong> is vibrant and growing. For cool designer items such as tees, totes and posters, head to Clandestina. For handmade clothes to Dador. Piscolabis have beautiful handmade gifts; La Marca offers tattoos, clothes, and gifts. And Beyond Roots sells clothes, souvenirs and collectibles rooted in Afro-Cuban experience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1875 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1379\" height=\"930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1.jpg 1379w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1-750x506.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Picture3-1-1140x769.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/\"><strong>Cuba holidays<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/multi-centre-cuba-holidays\"><strong>Multi Centre Cuba Holidays<\/strong><\/a><strong>,\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/cuba-city-beach-holidays\"><strong>Cuba City &amp; Beach Holidays<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/cuba-beach-holidays\"><strong>Cuba Beach Holidays<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/holiday-types\/tailor-made-cuba-holidays\"><strong>Tailor Made Cuba Holidays<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0please don\u2019t hesitate to contact our friendly team of\u00a0<strong>Cuba holiday specialists<\/strong>\u00a0on 0207 071 3636 or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:enquiries@lovecuba.com\">enquiries@lovecuba.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Havana\u00a0ooh na na\u2026 In spring, Cuba\u2019s capital is bathed in glorious light and cooler temperatures making it the perfect time to see her colourful buildings and gelato-coloured classic cars.
