Cuba is one of those incredible countries that mixes a strong and vibrant culture, gorgeous cities and irresistible beaches. It\u2019s the perfect place for a holiday, especially considering all the best things to do in Havana itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a beach lover, a foodie or a culture fiend, there\u2019s a whole heap of amazing places dotted all across the island. That being said, Havana is really special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s your first, second or umpteenth time to Havana, you\u2019re bound to find something new and exciting upon your arrival in Cuba. After all, the city is a totally vibrant place with new and old places opening their doors every week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the very best things to do in Havana on your next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look, below, at the best things to do in Havana.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Discover Havana Cathedral<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most city \u2018must see\u2019 lists include a cathedral and Havana is no exception. The architecture of Havana Cathedral is absolutely stunning, and if you\u2019re up for climbing the tower, the views you\u2019ll see from the top are well worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched smack-bang in the centre of Havana, it\u2019s a must-see spot if you\u2019re wanting to visit one of the cities 11 Roman Catholic Churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Embrace your\u00a0salsa dancing rhythm\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Havana is a city alive with music, and its heritage is definitely tangible in the city\u2019s pumping music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you catch a glimpse of the sensual and world-famous salsa dance, a thrilling part of Havana culture (ideally with a rum-based cocktail in hand) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Head over to the buzzing spots of;\u00a0Diablo Tun Tun<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0La Cecilia<\/em>\u00a0which is one of the cities largest outdoor music spots. Honestly, it\u2019s easily up there as one of the best things to do in Havana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Explore Old Havana<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a sucker for a good old UNESCO World Heritage Site! As they go, Old Havana is something particularly special. Pick your way through the cobbled streets and quaint little squares, taking in stunning old buildings like the Cathedral de San Cristobal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t miss the impressive Military fortress known as the Castillo de la Real Fuerza along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a delicious bite to eat, head over to\u00a0La Bodeguita del media\u00a0which is a must-visit restaurant that serves yummy seafood alongside traditional Cuban tunes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) See the beauty of Paseo del Prado<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bordering on Old Havana, Paseo del Prado is arguably the most beautiful street in Havana (shhh, don\u2019t tell the other streets). It was originally inhabited by some of Havana\u2019s most affluent, and their wealth is reflected in the grandeur of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the grand iron lampposts and marble benches to the bronze lion sculptures, Paseo del Prado is a beauty and one of the best things to do in Havana for sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After all that exploring, head over to\u00a0La Terraza where they\u2019ll serve you up a hearty portion of freshly fried plantains and BBQ grilled chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) See the gorgeous Fusterlandia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Decorating an entire neighbourhood with representations of your own life and artistic work might seem like an egotistical thing to do but that didn\u2019t stop Jos\u00e9 Fuster, and us visitors are very grateful for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fusterlandia, a small village on the outskirts of the city, is pumped full of colourful mosaics, paintings and sculptures by the man known as the Picasso of the Caribbean. It\u2019s a beautiful and unique thing that every traveller should see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a local bite to eat, head over to\u00a0\u00a0starbien for some of the best food in the city\u2026 don\u2019t forget to try their flan for dessert! It sounds run-of-the-mill but I assure you, it won\u2019t be a disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Enjoy the sea view from the Malecon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Malecon is Havana\u2019s impressive 8km-long city wall and esplanade that  It runs the full length of the city. This, alone, makes it the perfect viewing platform not only for the great sea view but a lot of the city sites, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, it took over 50 years to build, so strolling the length of the Malecon is like taking a walk through time. Also, there\u2019s a shed load of incredible architecture you\u2019ll see along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It really is one of the very best things to do in Havana, especially at sunset.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Find Colon Cemetery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A cemetery might not sound like the most exciting of attractions and may even seem a little morose but bear with me here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Cementario de Cristobal (named after Christopher Columbus) is definitely worth scouting out and for some, is one of the best things to do in Havana. Many of the 800,000 graves belong to particularly affluent Cubans, so the headstones are works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, they\u2019re also sorted into categories, from bishops to baseball players, making it one of the most organised graveyards in the world. That being said, if you\u2019re not really into the more macabre sites of the city, you might wanna give this one a miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) Visit Plaza de la Revoluci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you know a lot about Cuban history or nothing at all, you\u2019re bound to have seen the face of Che Guevara splashed across T-shirts and posters all across the world. The effect is slightly different when you\u2019re looking up at a giant mural of those well-known features on the side of Havana\u2019s Ministerio del Interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plaza is home to a number of recognised landmarks including the Capital Building and the Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed Memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Watch the sunrise at Morro Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Okay, we\u2019ve all seen a fort or two in our time. But the striking white facade of Morro castle with the blue ocean as its backdrop is a particularly impressive sight. The castle has some fascinating history behind it and offers great views both out to sea and back towards the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab yourself a\u00a0tostada, a cafe con leche and enjoy the sunrise over this magnificent place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) Explore Gran Teatro de La Habana<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Havana is brimming with a rich cultural heritage which will blow any traveller to the city away. Built in 1915, the Gran Teatro de La Habana\u2019s baroque style and the fascinating sculptures which adorn it should not be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can, make sure to grab yourself some tickets to see the world-renowned Cuban National Ballet Company in all their glory (who call the Garc\u00eda Lorca Auditorium home). It\u2019s breathtaking and easily up there as one of the best things to do in Havana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It\u2019s the perfect place for a holiday, especially considering all the best things to do in Havana itself.  Whether you\u2019re a beach lover, a foodie or a culture fiend, there\u2019s a whole heap of amazing places dotted all across the island. That being said, Havana is really special.  If it\u2019s your first, second or umpteenth time to Havana, you\u2019re bound to find something new and exciting upon your arrival in Cuba. After all, the city is a totally vibrant place with new and old places opening their doors every week.  This is exactly why I wanted to share some of the very best things to do in Havana on your next trip. Take a look, below, at the best things to do in Havana.\u00a0 1.) Discover Havana Cathedral Most city \u2018must see\u2019 lists include a cathedral and Havana is no exception. The architecture of Havana Cathedral is absolutely stunning, and if you\u2019re up for climbing the tower, the views you\u2019ll see from the top are well worth the effort. Perched smack-bang in the centre of Havana, it\u2019s a must-see spot if you\u2019re wanting to visit one of the cities 11 Roman Catholic Churches. 2.) Embrace your\u00a0salsa dancing rhythm\u00a0 Havana is a city alive with music, and its heritage is definitely tangible in the city\u2019s pumping music scene. Make sure you catch a glimpse of the sensual and world-famous salsa dance, a thrilling part of Havana culture (ideally with a rum-based cocktail in hand)  Head over to the buzzing spots of;\u00a0Diablo Tun Tun\u00a0or\u00a0La Cecilia\u00a0which is one of the cities largest outdoor music spots. Honestly, it\u2019s easily up there as one of the best things to do in Havana. 3.) Explore Old Havana I\u2019m a sucker for a good old UNESCO World Heritage Site! As they go, Old Havana is something particularly special. Pick your way through the cobbled streets and quaint little squares, taking in stunning old buildings like the Cathedral de San Cristobal. Don\u2019t miss the impressive Military fortress known as the Castillo de la Real Fuerza along the way. For a delicious bite to eat, head over to\u00a0La Bodeguita del media\u00a0which is a must-visit restaurant that serves yummy seafood alongside traditional Cuban tunes.\u00a0 4.) See the beauty of Paseo del Prado Bordering on Old Havana, Paseo del Prado is arguably the most beautiful street in Havana (shhh, don\u2019t tell the other streets). It was originally inhabited by some of Havana\u2019s most affluent, and their wealth is reflected in the grandeur of the design. From the grand iron lampposts and marble benches to the bronze lion sculptures, Paseo del Prado is a beauty and one of the best things to do in Havana for sure.  After all that exploring, head over to\u00a0La Terraza where they\u2019ll serve you up a hearty portion of freshly fried plantains and BBQ grilled chicken. 5.) See the gorgeous Fusterlandia Decorating an entire neighbourhood with representations of your own life and artistic work might seem like an egotistical thing to do but that didn\u2019t stop Jos\u00e9 Fuster, and us visitors are very grateful for it. Fusterlandia, a small village on the outskirts of the city, is pumped full of colourful mosaics, paintings and sculptures by the man known as the Picasso of the Caribbean. It\u2019s a beautiful and unique thing that every traveller should see.  For a local bite to eat, head over to\u00a0\u00a0starbien for some of the best food in the city\u2026 don\u2019t forget to try their flan for dessert! It sounds run-of-the-mill but I assure you, it won\u2019t be a disappointment. 6.) Enjoy the sea view from the Malecon The Malecon is Havana\u2019s impressive 8km-long city wall and esplanade that  It runs the full length of the city. This, alone, makes it the perfect viewing platform not only for the great sea view but a lot of the city sites, too. Plus, it took over 50 years to build, so strolling the length of the Malecon is like taking a walk through time. Also, there\u2019s a shed load of incredible architecture you\u2019ll see along the way. It really is one of the very best things to do in Havana, especially at sunset.\u00a0 7.) Find Colon Cemetery A cemetery might not sound like the most exciting of attractions and may even seem a little morose but bear with me here. El Cementario de Cristobal (named after Christopher Columbus) is definitely worth scouting out and for some, is one of the best things to do in Havana. Many of the 800,000 graves belong to particularly affluent Cubans, so the headstones are works of art. Interestingly, they\u2019re also sorted into categories, from bishops to baseball players, making it one of the most organised graveyards in the world. That being said, if you\u2019re not really into the more macabre sites of the city, you might wanna give this one a miss.\u00a0 8.) Visit Plaza de la Revoluci\u00f3n Whether you know a lot about Cuban history or nothing at all, you\u2019re bound to have seen the face of Che Guevara splashed across T-shirts and posters all across the world. The effect is slightly different when you\u2019re looking up at a giant mural of those well-known features on the side of Havana\u2019s Ministerio del Interior. The plaza is home to a number of recognised landmarks including the Capital Building and the Jos\u00e9 Mart\u00ed Memorial. 9.) Watch the sunrise at Morro Castle Okay, we\u2019ve all seen a fort or two in our time. But the striking white facade of Morro castle with the blue ocean as its backdrop is a particularly impressive sight. The castle has some fascinating history behind it and offers great views both out to sea and back towards the city. Grab yourself a\u00a0tostada, a cafe con leche and enjoy the sunrise over this magnificent place. 10.) Explore Gran Teatro de La Habana Havana is brimming with a rich cultural heritage which will blow any traveller to the city away.
