Absolutely beautiful place to go to. The artwork and detail put into the buildings around here are breathtaking. I was little upset that we were not allowed to go in to the capital but I totally understand because it would most likely be flooded with tourists. Still it was very nice getting to sit on the steps and just take in all of the beauty Havana has to offer

Beautiful square, you can find all king of people around. Need a better clean. Here is placed the Jose Marti monument.

Iconic, historic, scenic public and a bunch of other '-ics' I can't think of at the moment.
You're surrounded by some buildings that wouldn't be considered out of place in the tourist centres of European or American cities, and with only a slight shift of the eye, you see buildings that are definitely lived in, and in need of repair, and on the other side a modern edifice. On the street, the same, a Ford from the 1950s with gleaming paint passes, a Lada from the 1980s that's badly in need of a wash and wax, and not two cars behind is a Hyundai that's got less than a year on the road. In a minute, you'll have the perfect metaphor for Cuba: "antique, mixed with new, and a helping of old in disrepair" and above all else a vibrant people living their lives.
Worth a visit at any time of the day, but I strongly suggest either dawn or dusk, as the natural light paints everything in fantastic colour, and seeing the buildings and street lamps in the electric glow holding off the darkness, is a completely different thing to under the brilliant Caribbean sunshine.
Be advised that the guards close the Capitolio grounds in the evening and you will be gently, but firmly asked to leave the steps and garden footpaths when that time comes.response / report this review -

One of the busiest areas of La Habana, there you can feel the pulse and heartbeat of this magnificent city. Beware of sellers, there's always someone offering the possibility for a good deal. Famous, for being just steps away, from one of Hemingway's favourite bars - La Floridita.

The park has existed for more than 2 centuries and has been renovated. Difficult not to give it 5 stars in the middle of Havana's most exclusive hotels, beautiful marble all over and connecting with the superb Paseo De Prado. The only negative is the high pollution level because cars don't have anti-pollution systems. We advise you do not spend half a day there.Highly recommended!

One of the busiest places in Havana is Central Park. Seated on one of the stone benches, the unique setting makes us visualize a museum of architecture, surrounded by buildings where the ecliptic and classic style harmoniously dialogue, the Gran Teatro de La Habana, the Inglaterra, Telegraph, Plaza and Central Park hotels and the Manzana de Gomez, the Asturian Center, the Payret Cinema and the Capitolo building are real gems.

The center of Havana. A good spot to take a cab or just chill and glance the crowds walk by.

There are a lot of classic cars around this area. I recommend you to try their 1 hour tour offer and make sure to pick your favorite car!!!

It's the place where most tourists are. The capitol is 50 meters away. There also is a Wi-fi hotspot from the inglaterra hotel. Beautiful and really representative of the tourist activities in cuba. One downside is the constant harassment from taxi drivers.

The center of downtown and the start of the beautiful promenade that eventually leads water's edge. Lots of life.

Beautiful place near some very nice hotels and within walking distance to El Floridata. A lot of taxi drivers and other trying to make money from tourists though. Easy place to pick up the hop on/ hop off tour bus though.

Best place in Havana for pictures and more. Grab the T3 $5 tourist bus to the beach or the T1 $10 double decker bus for a city tour.
