You probably know already that the best way to know a foreign city is to walk along its streets. If you are considering Havana within your scheduled itinerary for your Cuba holidays then allow me to introduce you to the nicest walks in this amazing city.
El Malecon: This is by far the most beautiful see front promenade in the whole of the Caribbean. A walk takes about 1 to 2 hours depending on how many stops and cocktails you have along the way. You can even strip off your cloth and sun bath while resting on the top of the wall like so many others do.
Paseo del Prado: El Prado Promenade was build at the end of the 19th Century alongside the west end of the wall that protected Havana?s Old Town for almost 200 years. Soon after the wall was brought down El Prado became the fanciest place to live. Today you can admire the magnificent architecture of its best?s residences.
Avenida de Los Presidentes: Also known as "Calle G" since the nomenclature given to the streets in Vedado district. Along this avenue one can admire the most opulent residence of Havana. Most of these properties are now government institutions since they were left vacant by their owner in the first few years after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959.
Calle San Rafael: It was once the busiest high street of Havana full of retail shops and cafes. Today it is still one of the must see places in Havana. It is Located in Central Havana and it connects Paseo del Prado with Galeano Street. These two streets are also very popular.
Calle Galiano: This one is particularly popular among locals because of its many retail shops. The China Town and Casa de La Musica Salsa Palace are also located in Galeano Street.
