Bucket List-Worthy Things to do in Havana – Collect the Best Memories

Some call it Havana and some call it Habana – whatever you call it, it's the capital city of Cuba which is a beautiful combination of both new and old. It's a city meant to be explored and here's a perfect guide for that. Check this out!

1

Enjoy your time at Fábrica de Arte Cubano

This is most probably the hippest spot in the town, and this is the same reason why you should visit the Fábrica de Arte Cubano (which is also known as the Cuban Art Factory) at least once. This space was originally used by a cooking oil plant, and now is home for many live events and even exhibitions.

2

Enjoy a ride in a vintage car

Have you come to Cuba on one of the inter Caribbean flights the likes of interCaribbean Airways? Wasn't that a luxury tour? How about trying out a vintage experience for a change? In Havana, you find many classic cars imported from America in the early 20th century. They offer you rides for $50 per person approximately. You will also be able to negotiate the rates if you are travelling far.

3

Enjoy a Cuban Cigar

Cuba is believed to produce one of the finest cigars in the whole world. This is mainly because Cuba, from the past, has been thriving with excellent conditions for growing tobacco and their practices are also precise. There are cigar factories such as Partagas in Havana that provide decent selections and you may even enjoy your cigar at one of their VIP rooms enjoying the city views.

4

Enjoy everything about Old Havana

Old Havana (they also call it La Habana Vieja) is a historic site and it is also a World Heritage Site declared by UNESCO. The narrow streets provide great photo opportunities and you may also explore the elegance that is still visible in the ancient colonial buildings. Around Old Havana, it's always about happy roaming.

5

Visit the Colon Cemetery

Spanning across a land area of more than 140 acres, there are more than 800,000 graves at the Colon Cemetery in Havana. It is also said to be one of the most remarkable cemeteries in the world because it's the place where many tombstones of famous politicians, scientists, and artists lay in the ground. You may think you'll cover the entire area within an hour or two, but you'll surely go on for more than 3 hours.

6

Head to a Jazz Club

Havana is blessed with many Jazz clubs and they all offer you great rhythmic experiences. If you can't select one, you may try heading to the La Zorra y el Cuervo, which is one of the most famous jazz spots among the rest. They are open every day, and they try entertaining people with a new musician each day. Even while exploring the Old Town late at night, you may be able to come across many other jazz clubs and there's nothing wrong in being curious about what's going on there too.
