Walking around the streets of Havana is undeniably a must do in your Cuba Holidays. I would like to introduce you to what in my modest opinion represent the most interesting street walks in Havana.
El Malecon: This is by far the most beautiful see front promenade in the whole of the Caribbean. A walk takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on how many stops and cocktails you have along the way. You can even strip off your cloth and sun bath while resting on the top of the wall like so many others do.
Paseo del Prado: El Prado Promenade was build at the end of the 19th Century alongside the west end of the wall that protected Havana?s Old Town for almost 200 years. Soon after the wall was brought down El Prado became the fanciest place to live. Today you can admire the magnificent architecture of its best?s residences.
Avenida de Los Presidentes: Also known as "Calle G" since the nomenclature given to the streets in Vedado district. Along this avenue one can admire the most opulent residence of Havana. Most of these properties are now government institutions since they were left vacant by their owner in the first few years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959.
Calle 5ta:The 5th Avenue in Havana became in the 1950?s the best place to life in Havana. Today you can admire the most sumptuous properties in the whole of Cuba. Perhaps you should take a taxi and get to see this area which unfortunately is not walking distance from the best hotels in Havana.
Calle Galiano: This street is located in the municipality of Centro Habana right at the end of San Rafael Street. It is full of shops, theatres and night clubs. Perhaps the most famous night club in Havana ?Casa de La Musica? is located in Galiano Street.
It takes few days to get to see everything that is worth seeing in Havana. Whether you organize a walking tour from your hotel or you prefer to walk at your own pace in Havana you will be amazed by this vibrant city and your holidays will become and unforgettable experience.
