Tour description
Travel back in time on a free walking tour exploring Old Havana, the UNESCO-recognized jewel of the Caribbean. With a local guide, you’ll start at the magnificent Capitolio and Central Park, wander through cobblestoned squares lined with pastel-colored colonial mansions, and then reach Cathedral Square, known for its Baroque style. Discover Plaza Vieja and Plaza de Armas, stroll along lively Obispo Street, and hear stories about pirates, sugar barons, the revolution, and the golden age of classic cars and cigars. Admire views of the seaside Malecón boulevard while receiving insider tips on mojitos, ropa vieja, and where to hear live son music. Join for free — at the end of the tour, simply tip the guide whatever you feel the experience was worth.
