On this free tour of Centro Habana, we'll get a true, authentic insight into daily life in Cuba. We'll also pass through the city's most iconic landmarks and go on a stroll through Chinatown.
Description
At the indicated time, we'll meet at Parque Central de La Habana to start our free tour of Centro Habana - a district located between the famous La Habana Vieja and Vedado.
Centro Habana is perhaps less of a tourist hotspot than some other districts in Cuba's capital city. Interestingly, Centro Habana was actually the first settlement of the city outside of colonial boundaries. For this reason, you'll get an even more authentic sense of what everyday life is like for the inhabitants of Havana.
Our first stops will be the National Capitol Building and the Latin American Fraternity Park, decorated with statues of some of the most prominent leaders of Latin American history.
We'll gradually make our way deeper and deeper into the lesser-known areas of Centro Habana before arriving in Chinatown - an area founded by Chinese immigrants who arrived from California in the 19th century.
The Caridad del Cobre church, the Ameijeiras brothers' hospital, the University of Havana, and other iconic sites will also be on the itinerary. There'll be plenty of photo opportunities!
After a guided walk lasting between 3 and 3 hours and 30 minutes, we'll conclude the tour around the Hotel Nacional de Cuba.
