Things To Do
El Del Frente
Our favorite restaurant in Old Havana.
Partagas Cigar Factory
National Cigar factory. You can take a tour and see people making cigars. Make sure to buy a ticket for 10 CUC at the plaza hotel beforehand. Romeo E Juliette cigar shop is nearby. You can buy some Cuban cigars at a good price. If you do plan on buying Cuban cigars, do not purchase them from people on the street as those are likely to be fake.
Fábrica de Arte Cubano
Words cannot explain how cool this place is. Art museum/ Bar/ Night club. If you have time, definitely worth checking out.
La casa del son
Fancy a salsa lesson? A really fun spot to take a salsa lesson for 18 CUC per hour. Make sure to make a reservation beforehand. There is a bar inside so you can take rum shots before your lesson.
El Cocinero
Another favorite restaurant of ours. Old old factory turned into a restaurant. A nice rooftop with great ambience. There's a bar inside the smokestack!
Free Walking Tour Havana
Take any free walking tours. It is a great way to see the city. It is great way to interact with Cubans and get local tips.
Dona Eutemia
A great cuban restaurant right off of Plaza Cathedral. Reservation is a must.
El Floridita Bar
Supposedly where Daiquiris were invented. Hemingway's hangout spot. Mango daiquiris were very yummy
La Bodeguita Del Medio
Supposedly where Mojitos were invented. Another Hemingway's favorite spot. It is always packed but a fun place to visit regardless and get a mojito on the street.
