Walking around the streets of Havana is undeniably a must do in your Cuba holidays I would like to introduce you to what in my modest opinion represent the most interesting street walks in Havana.
<b>El Malecon:</b> This has to be the number one in our list of best public walks. Protecting the city from the Atlantic Ocean this see front avenue stretches for 7 kilometers from The Old Town top the most modern part of Havana known as Vedado. The breezes coming from the see allows you to enjoy a display of architecture and nature even in the hottest time of the year.
<b>Calle 23:</b> Calle 23 is the main artery of the second most famous quarter of Havana know as "Vedado". It is probably one of the longest avenues along which the social, political and administrative core institutions of Cuba are located. It is also full of bars and night clubs particularly interesting is "La Zorra y El Cuervo" popular for its Latin Jazz sessions.
<b>Avenida de Los Presidentes:</b> 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.
<b>Calle San Rafael:</b> 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.
<b>Calle Galiano:</b> This street is located in the municipality of Centro Habana right at the end of San Rafael Street. It is full of shops, theatres and night clubs. Perhaps the most famous night club in Havana ?Casa de La Musica? is located in Galiano Street.
Havana is the largest city in the Caribbean and it is considered by many one of the most captivating places in the world. By walking its streets you get to know its people, its history and one of the richest architectural patrimonies of the world.
