Havana is such a beautiful city with great culture. I have only spent a long day here on trip excursion from Varadero so still have plenty more to discover. It was a great trip and allowed me to see a good amount of Havannas quirky features and to explore the highlights of the city. We squeezed in so much that I was exhausted by the end of the trip but it was completely worth it and I would do it all over again! I would definitely recommend visiting for an over night stay if you are going to a near by destination in Cuba (i.e. Varadero) to allow for extra time exploring.
Here are a few highlights from my long day trip to inspire you and give an idea of what there is to do and see here:
Old Havana
the City Centre is down town and is filled with beautiful ruins and restorations. It is a fun place to wander around and take in the sights
Old Square (Plaza Vieja)
Plaza de la Catederal
A beautiful church hidden between streets of old Havana
Plaza de la Revolucion
Revolution square is the iconic spot for history of politics
Walls of Canal de Entrada
located on Avenue Carlos at the mouth of the harbour over looking La Cabaña 18th-century fortress complex featuring museums, cultural events and a nightly canon-firing ceremony
During the evening we relaxed and freshened up at Hotel Presidente and had a buffet dinner
