Frommer's Favorite Experiences in Havana
- Take a walk along the Malecón, and then, for a slight change of pace, grab a Coco Taxi or horse-drawn carriage for a different take on Havana's most popular promenade.
- Wander the streets of La Habana Vieja. Allow yourself to get lost in time and in the beautiful and dilapidated architecture of its colonial streets, buildings, and plazas.
- Visit the Plaza de la Catedral at night, stopping to grab an outdoor table at Cafetería El Portal to sip a drink and soak in the sight of the Catedral de San Cristóbal's illuminated bell towers.
- Visit a cigar factory and enjoy the aromas of Cuba's top export being manufactured in timeless fashion before your very eyes.
- Head to the Callejón de Hammel to admire the street art and murals of this Centro Habana neighborhood. Try to come on a Sunday afternoon and you'll be able to enjoy the spectacle of an Afro-Cuban religious show and celebration.
- Pull out all the stops and treat yourself to dinner and a show at the Tropicana.
