Key facts on the subject

• Havana’s Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982.
• The urban attractions mentioned include Plaza Vieja and the Malecón.
• The National Museum of Fine Arts is located, as a rough coordinate-based reference, approximately 0.8 kilometres in a straight line from the mapped Havana reference point.

Experience the Old Town, Plaza Vieja and the Malecón

The historic city centre makes Havana interesting for travellers who want to experience history directly in an urban setting. The Old Town’s UNESCO designation since 1982 provides a fixed thematic reference point. Plaza Vieja represents a specific place within this historic experience of the city, while the Malecón directs attention to Havana’s waterfront promenade.

The places mentioned can be organised into different ideas for each day: one day can be dedicated to the historic city areas and Plaza Vieja, and another to the Malecón and other cultural programmes. This way, the travel planning is based on the experiences actually desired rather than on a general recommendation of a particular location.

Align the area of your stay with your travel itinerary

As a rough urban guide, Old Havana, Centro Habana, Vedado and suburban areas are distinguished. These terms help connect the accommodation search with your own travel itinerary. If historic city areas, Plaza Vieja, the Malecón and cultural programmes are the focus, Havana is a logical starting point for further searches.

The specific choice should therefore be aligned with the planned city experiences. Accommodation in Havana is a suitable search direction for a stay focused on the Old Town and urban attractions; however, this does not constitute a general recommendation for a particular part of the city.

Museums as an additional cultural element

Those wishing to supplement their stay with art and museums can include the National Museum of Fine Arts in their cultural planning. As a coordinate-based reference, it is listed as approximately 0.8 kilometres in a straight line from Havana’s mapped reference point. This adds another specific cultural venue to the view of Havana, without implying any statements about opening hours, admission or length of visit.

Compare the current offers based on which specific location and features suit your planned city and cultural programme.
