Old Havana in Cuba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site visited by Lucas Lessa & Kelly Vidal

Havana, Cuba

The Old Havana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, is full of narrow streets, restaurants, bars, plazas, hotels and museums. It received intense revitalization work and today is colorful, full of street performers, live music, craft fairs and of course, lots of history. It is common to be approached by restaurants touts, but its better to search in applications and specialized sites.

Lucas Lessa & Kelly Vidal approves these:
Esto No Es Un Cafe - Good for a relaxed lunch;
Paladar Los Mercaderes - Must book at night.
Both come with a great Mojito.

Havana tour in an old car by Lucas Lessa & Kelly Vidal during their travel to Cuba

Havana, Cuba

A city tour in an old car is among the most popular tours in Havana. The options are varied and to choose one to enjoy the three hours is a difficult task. There are many colors, models, convertible or not. Lucas Lessa & Kelly Vidal got one convertible Chevrolet almost 100% original, which is very rare here. The driver took them to every place and to a neighborhood called Miramar. It looked like Beverly Hills.



There are many forms of transport in Havana. The best of them is on foot. However, considering the distance or if you prefer, there are four taxi options: traditional taxis, tricycles (photo), the fun coco taxis and the famous old taxis (photo). We have experienced all and we liked better the last two. Regardless of the option, negotiate the value. There is no taxi meters and some drivers can charge double.

'Floridita' is among the best bars in Havana, says Lucas Lessa & Kelly Vidal during their Cuba visit

Havana, Cuba

Floridita is among the best bars in Havana for many reasons. A bit touristic, but unmissable. It offers the best Daiquiri, Piña Colada and Mojito in the region. From 5pm on, it usually invites local bands to play, which makes it more fun.

Other places that also caught our attention:
Sloppy Joe's - For a snack and a good drink with comfort;
La Guarida - The best night restaurant with a charming bar on the rooftop.
