10 Sights To See In Havana, Cuba
These days, travel is starting to lose its mystery. There aren't many places left to surprise us. But Cuba, which has only recently been opened up for tourists, remains shrouded in intrigue. If you're heading to the capital, there are certain things you shouldn't miss.
1) The sea view from the Malecón
The Malecón is an Havana's impressive 8km-long city wall and esplanade. It runs the full length of the city, which makes it the perfect viewing platform not only for the great sea view, but a lot of the city sites, too. It took over 50 years to build, so walking the length of the Malecón is like taking a walk through time in terms of the variety of architecture you'll see along the way.
2) Havana Cathedral

As they go, Old Havana is something particularly special. Pick your way through the cobbled streets and quaint little squares, taking in stunning old buildings like the Cathedral de San Cristobal. Don't miss the impressive Military fortress known as the Castillo de la Real Fuerza along the way.
7) Morro Castle
Okay, we've all seen a fort or two in our time. But the striking white facade of Morro castle with the blue ocean as its backdrop is a particularly impressive sight. The castle has some fascinating history behind it, and offers great views both out to sea and back towards the city.
8) Paseo del Prado
Bordering on Old Havana, Paseo del Prado is popularly considered the most beautiful street in Havana. It was originally inhabited by some of Havana's most affluent, and their wealth is reflected in the grandeur of the design. From the grand iron lampposts and marble benches to the bronze lion sculptures, Paseo del Prado is pure decadence.
9) Gran Teatro de La Habana
Would you expect to find one of the world's largest opera houses in Cuba? Either way, you can, and it will blow you away. Built in 1915, the Gran Teatro de La Habana's baroque style and the fascinating sculptures which adorn it should not be missed.
