Havana

No Rating Yet

Havana, Cuba's capital city, can be covered in two days, just slip on your walking shoes and prepare to navigate the peculiar streets. Exploring Habana Vieja will take about three hours where you will see the Plaza de la Catedral, Plaza de Armas, Plaza Vieja and may well stumble upon the odd Tourist festival.

 

Costa Blanca is just a short boat trip across the harbour where you will find a working electric railway, a monument to the former president and the home of Che Guevara.

 

Centro Habana is the life and soul of the city, where you will find disused theatres, abandoned steam trains, rusting American style school buses and the city Capital. Capitolio Nacional is an exquisite structure modelled on the Whitehouse in Washington, in fact opposite you can find the most central gay bar – Prado Cafeteria. Only open until 9pm and serving canned beers, Cubans stop by this waterhole to exchange gossip and plan their evenings ahead. Tourists get a lot of attention!

 

 

Accommodation

The tourist boom has created artists and business people out of nearly every single Cuban. Many who have a spare room will turn it into a Casa Particular, a bed & breakfast; this gives you the chance to get a good peek into the lives of these diverse people. Casa’s will earn them a good extra income if they can keep guests coming, owners are subjected to a high standard fixed monthly tax whether they have guests or not. Be sure you provide your passport on arrival, as they must log each guest.

 

 

We found a lovely gay owner in Havana. Jorge Silvio accommodates gay tourists from Europe and Canada advising on where to go and how to get by. Jorge has an excellent network of friends who offer additional rooms, flats, meals, and airport transfers all for a fixed and reasonable price. As soon as you stray towards hotel territory you will see your budget rocket. Budget travel is not really possible in Cuba but there are alternative ways of spending
