Hearing &#8220;<strong> Havana<\/strong>&#8220;, I&#8217;m sure you have plenty of images that come to mind. For us, at least, it was images of old American cars, bars where people dance to salsa music, or the colorful streets we&#8217;ve certainly seen in reports on Cuba. Let me reassure you, these scenes of life are very much present, and after having criss-crossed its historic center for 3 days, we can now tell you more about what there is to see around here.

We had the impression that time had stood still here and that the city had not evolved. But it&#8217;s also its undeniable and singular charm, and as soon as you step out of the airport, you&#8217;re transported by the unique atmosphere we&#8217;ve come to find. With so many tourist attractions scattered around the city, it&#8217;s impossible to discover Havana on foot alone. You may need to travel by cab, car, cab bike, electric bike or on foot. A word of advice: ask your casas particulares about the cost of transport, so that you can negotiate the right price for your shopping, as Cubans love the dollar. Some journeys cost 1 CUC to locals and 10 times more to travelers, but that&#8217;s the way things are in a country where poverty is omnipresent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">TABLE OF CONTENTS :<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f210524d320\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f210524d320\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_STROLLING_THE_NARROW_STREETS_OF_HABANA_VIEJA\" >| STROLLING THE NARROW STREETS OF HABANA VIEJA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_DISCOVER_HAVANAS_STREET_ART\" >| DISCOVER HAVANA&#8217;S STREET ART<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_STROLLING_THROUGH_CENTRO_HABANA\" >| STROLLING THROUGH CENTRO HABANA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_TAKE_A_RIDE_IN_AN_OLD_AMERICAN_CAR\" >| TAKE A RIDE IN AN OLD AMERICAN CAR<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_PEDAL_YOUR_ELECTRIC_BIKE\" >| PEDAL YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_A_TOUR_OF_THE_LOCAL_MARKET_AND_A_COOKING_CLASS\" >| A TOUR OF THE LOCAL MARKET AND A COOKING CLASS<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_DISCOVER_HAVANA_WITH_A_LOCAL\" >| DISCOVER HAVANA WITH A LOCAL<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_SWIMMING_IN_PLAYA_SANTA_MARIA\" >| SWIMMING IN PLAYA SANTA MARIA<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/9-experiences-in-havana\/#_SLEEP_AT_THE_GRAN_HOTEL_MANZANA_KEMPINSKI_IN_THE_HEART_OF_HAVANA\" >| SLEEP AT THE GRAN HOTEL MANZANA KEMPINSKI IN THE HEART OF HAVANA<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_STROLLING_THE_NARROW_STREETS_OF_HABANA_VIEJA\"><\/span><strong>| STROLLING THE NARROW STREETS OF HABANA VIEJA<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s something special and authentic about the alleyways of Habana Vieja. It&#8217;s an exotic immersion in 1,000 contrasts: it&#8217;s both beautiful and dilapidated, but also very poor and rich. I&#8217;d advise you to get lost around here in the back alleys without any real sense of purpose, as you&#8217;ll soon realize that it&#8217;s not that big and that this part of it is best done on foot. There are 4 main squares and a few main arteries such as rue O&#8217;Reilly and rue Obispo, so it&#8217;s easy to find your way around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We headed into the heart of Habana Vieja, towards the pretty Rue de <strong>Bernazza<\/strong>, but also <strong>calle espada<\/strong> where you&#8217;ll find some very nice restaurants. Short photo stop on the <strong>Cathedral Square<\/strong> with its beautiful cathedral and just across the road the <strong>Museo de Arte Colonial<\/strong> and its lovely view from the balcony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the evening, it&#8217;s pretty cool to head over to the <strong>Plaza Vieja<\/strong>, a lively square with restaurants and bars set around pretty arcades. We also loved strolling along the <strong>St. Francis of Assisi Square<\/strong>. This is where we found a super-fast and not too crowded exchange office to change our euros into pesos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While strolling along, we also came across the street <strong>Chac\u00f3n<\/strong>, a quiet little alley with lots of restaurants and bars less touristy than the center, an alley where the locals play checkers, but also this huge painting of this orange gorilla on the Tejadillo side and on <strong>Egido Agro market<\/strong> (<span class=\"LrzXr\">17 Curazao<\/span>), a small local market where you can buy fruit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Good to know<\/strong><\/span>: Some restaurants offer lunch or dinner for around 15 CUC. Their rates include unlimited Internet access, so it can be useful for Internet addicts. Another good plan, the facades you see below are pleasant to discover rather in <strong>afternoon<\/strong> because in the morning they&#8217;re often in the shade and the colors don&#8217;t render as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u27a1\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitatis.com\/en\/havana\/private-tour\/?aid=12147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Book a private tour of Havana here<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>.

It&#8217;s a must-see with all the colorful old cars parked around it. To situate you better, Centro Habana is the area near the former seat of the Cuban Congress, the <strong>Capitolio<\/strong>, easily recognizable with its large dome often under renovation on the paseo Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed. The Centro Habana district is less well renovated than Habana Vieja, and therefore less touristy and popular with travellers. The district boasts two well-known museums: the <strong>national museum of Beaux Arts<\/strong> and the <strong>Museo of the Revolution<\/strong> but also beautiful scenes of life, beautiful facades and much less expensive casas particulares, but in my opinion, it doesn&#8217;t have the same soul and effervescence as the <strong>Old Havana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34427 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage.png\" alt=\"Cuba | Havana | map | Downtown Cuba | travel tips\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x853.png 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x910.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage-800x474.png 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/centro-habana-cuba-mademoiselle-voyage-450x267.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next to the Capitolio, you&#8217;ll see the <strong>Gran teatro of the Habana<\/strong>, a beautiful building we wanted to visit but which is closed on weekdays.

I&#8217;ll be honest with you, we kind of skipped this part of town, preferring to explore Habana Vieja up and down.

You can also find <strong>Hotel Nacional<\/strong> with its neoclassical architectural style, the <strong>Place of the Revolution<\/strong>, the gathering place for many Cubans, which can accommodate up to 1 million people. Designed on the same model as the Place de l&#8217;Etoile in Paris, the statue of the <strong>Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed memorial<\/strong> located right in the middle of the square, the<strong>Avenue

However, I&#8217;d advise you to do the walk either at weekends, when local life is quieter, or to set off early enough on weekday mornings, because when the alleyways wake up, there are often traffic jams in Habana Vieja, with big trucks delivering goods, other cars parked and you lose a lot of time waiting as you drive along in slow motion!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u27a1\ufe0f You&#8217;ll take to the streets of the Cuban capital to discover its must-see sites, ending the tour with a cocktail on the terrace of the Hotel Nacional. <a href=\"https:\/\/partners.ceetiz.com\/642d52eb\/go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Click here to book online and check availability<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34350 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba | Havana | american car | travel tips\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage-800x632.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-voitures-americaines-mademoiselle-voyage-450x355.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_PEDAL_YOUR_ELECTRIC_BIKE\"><\/span><strong>| PEDAL YOUR ELECTRIC BIKE<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was at the end of the trip that we found out we could discover Havana by electric bike, and we would have loved to do it.

It&#8217;s unavoidable and perfect for getting up close and personal with the locals, but if you want to take a little luxury break at the end of your stay, it&#8217;s here, at <span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kempinski.com\/en\/havana\/gran-hotel-kempinski-la-habana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span> in Havana, which we recommend you stay at.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Located in the historic center of the old town, a stone&#8217;s throw from the Parque Central where all the old American cars are parked, opposite the Gran Teatro de La Habana, the Capitollio, the Museum of Fine Arts and the famous bar. <strong>The Floridita<\/strong> frequented by the American writer Ernest Hemingway, this luxury hotel is an incredible highlight of the trip. I&#8217;ll be honest with you, but I was a little embarrassed to go here, as this baroque-style hotel stands in stark contrast to the poverty-stricken side streets. I was invited to try it out as part of my work, and I have absolutely no regrets, but I didn&#8217;t really like being seen entering the hotel lobby.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This 5* hotel is the latest addition to the Kempinski family. Its white facades and beautiful arcades housing luxury accessories are immediately noticeable. It offers 246 rooms and suites, a beautiful spa and a breathtaking terrace with a large pool overlooking Havana&#8217;s rooftops. At the end of your stay, it&#8217;s the perfect place to relax and take a last dip before getting back on your flight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rooms are bright, elegant, spacious and well-appointed, and the bathrooms have a large smoked glass window overlooking the bed. On the relaxation front, we didn&#8217;t have time to test their sumptuous <strong>spa Albear by Resense<\/strong> 1000m2 open from 9am to 9pm, dedicated to wellness and fitness. We discovered a thermal pool and would have liked to try out their range of body and face treatments. Unfortunately, everything was fully booked the day we came.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the catering side, breakfast is delicious and varied, with space for vegetarians and people with gluten allergies. It takes place in a beautiful, light-filled space, with a special mention for the huge black and gold mosaic countertop. On the roof of the hotel, you&#8217;ll find a large panoramic restaurant, the <strong>San Cristobal<\/strong>, offering classic formulas such as snacks, salads and club sandwiches, as well as more elaborate seafood dishes. Unfortunately, if you&#8217;re not a hotel guest, you won&#8217;t be able to swim in the beautiful pool. There&#8217;s also a rooftop bar, <strong>the<\/strong> <strong>Constante<\/strong>, to sip cocktails or simply enjoy a coffee. For an aperitif, head to the <strong>Evocacion Tobacco<\/strong>, where you can try some very good rums and smoke some very good Cuban cigars. If you simply want a little snack break, head to the <strong>salon El Arsenal<\/strong> for some great pastries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The welcome at this establishment is impeccable and worthy of a five-star hotel compared to others we have tested on the island. Depending on the season, you can expect to pay a minimum of \u20ac250 per night, including breakfast, for a standard room, but the experience is guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u27a1\ufe0f <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kempinski.com\/en\/havana\/gran-hotel-kempinski-la-habana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Click here to book online and check availability<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba | Havana | hotel | Kempinski | advice | Travel\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-1-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-34364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1440x1137.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2-1536x1213.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2-800x632.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-2-450x355.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-34369 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg\" alt=\"Cuba | Havana | city center | travel tips\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1440x1080.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/la-havane-cuba-gran-hotel-manzana-kempinski-mademoiselle-voyage-3-450x338.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;<strong>Practical information Havana<\/strong>&#8221;

Some places are still authentic and unspoilt, but others can seem touristy. Gone are the days when all Cubans danced salsa in the streets (they do it more during Carnival) and when wrinkled old ladies sat on the pavement smoking big cigars. (I only saw one in the capital who posed for a few dollars). Today, salsa has given way to reggaeton, which can be heard everywhere, much to the dismay of the older generations, who fear that this music will be lost in the years to come. The bars and restaurants on Havana&#8217;s main streets all draw you in with the same familiar Cuban music. Although it may seem folkloric, we were completely charmed and will return to this beautiful island with great pleasure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cuba is generally a fairly safe destination, and the locals are friendly, smiling and welcoming. Bear in mind that when a Cuban suggests a place to you, they often do so out of self-interest! It&#8217;s not that they&#8217;re not nice, but they get a small commission from the place they take you to. They&#8217;re a bit like touts who supplement their income at the end of the month. In the long run, it becomes tiresome, but I want to tell you that it&#8217;s part of the game, and we fell for it on the first day we arrived in Havana. We quickly realised that we had to put a stop to this kindness and go our own way!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t be too hard on the locals. You&#8217;ll soon realise that they really depend on tourism because their incomes are very low and desperate. Cubans may therefore seem pushy and unsettle you with their stories. I&#8217;ll tell you a few anecdotes in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/en\/cuba-our-practical-guide-to-planning-your-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>practical guide to Cuba<\/strong><\/a>. Before coming here, I often heard that &#8220;<strong>Havana was much better before<\/strong>&#8220;, &#8220;the Americans invaded the island&#8221;, &#8220;you have to come now before it&#8217;s too late&#8221;, but I find this attitude selfish because I really want their political situation to change and for them to be able to prosper financially. No country, no human being, no child deserves to be rationed for food!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Finally, please be aware that Cuba <strong>is not a cheap destination<\/strong> and that you will need a small budget to visit the island.
