Havana is Cuba's vibrant capital city, a place where 1950s American cars cruise past crumbling colonial architecture and revolutionary murals. The city's unique blend of Spanish colonial heritage, Art Deco buildings, and Caribbean culture creates an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world.
Transportation details
Full breakdown of how to get around.
Getting around Havana is a unique experience in itself. The city offers a mix of vintage American classic cars (almendrones) serving as shared taxis, modern tourist taxis, bicitaxis, CocoTaxis, horse-drawn carriages, and occasional public buses. For tourists, the combination of tourist taxis, classic car tours, and walking covers most needs.
Transport tips
Travel smarter, not harder.
Buy multi-day or weekly transit passes if you'll use public transport more than twice a day.
Keep small change handy for buses and shorter trips where contactless may not work.
Avoid rush hour (typically 7-9 AM and 5-7 PM) for a more comfortable journey.
