Old Havana Highlights

Old Havana centers on four main colonial squares: Plaza de Armas, Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza Vieja, and Plaza de San Francisco. This historic core features the Baroque Havana Cathedral and the Castillo de la Real Fuerza, the oldest stone fortress in the Americas. Architectural landmarks range from the Art Deco Bacardi Building to the neoclassical Museum of the Revolution, housed in the former Presidential Palace. Cultural highlights include the National Museum of Fine Arts and legendary bars like El Floridita and La Bodeguita del Medio, famously frequented by Ernest Hemingway.
