A common sight in Havana, and anyplace in Cuba. Independent business owners set up shop on terraces and front yards, selling goods and repairing old items. Some of the most common forms of business involve repairing watches, mobile phones, jewelry and shoes. This vendor hotspot, located in Vedado, just beside the Habana Libre Hotel, also has a man selling art. Art is one of the largest Cuban exports and can be a very lucrative business. As a tourist, you just have to make sure that the art your buy has all the proper export labels, or else you will have to pay a hefty export duty or the art can be seized at airport customs. For more information about this, please check out the Real Havana Guide.

This is street side view of the Coppelia ice cream shop in Vedado. They serve the best and cheapest ice cream in Cuba. But there are long lineups to get in. These locals have probably been waiting in line for hours. But on a hot day, it's worth it. Scoops of ice cream only cost 1peso (Moneda Nacional). You can sit down and have as many as you want. It's a delicious, gluttonous experience.

Ah, the famous Cinema Yara, located at the corner of L and 23 street, in Vedado. It's one of the largest cinemas in the city, and it's air conditioned, so you can imagine that it's really popular, especially when it's hot outside. The price to see most movies is only 2 pesos (Moneda Nacional). In front of the Cinema Yara is also a popular meeting place for friends to gather and plan their evening. It's at the corner of some major bus and taxi routes, so, generally, if you are planning to meet somebody in Vedado, it very common just to meet them in front of the Yara.

This is the Turquino night club, located on the 25th floor of the Habana Libre Hotel. It doesn't look like much now, because it is during the day and the workers are just setting up the entertainment. At night, this becomes one of the top disco destinations in the city. Salsa music is played on many week days and live performances are common on weekends. The disco has windows all around any you get an unobstructed view of the whole city. There is even a retractable roof on the disco, which is opened on nice evening to offer an gorgeous view of the stars.

La Coppelia ice cream shop in the Vedado neighborhood of Havana offers some of the best ice cream in Cuba at an extremely low price. Each scoop of ice cream only costs 1 peso (Moneda Nacional). That's the equivalent of about 4 cents USD. The ice cream is really good. It's cold, creamy and very sweet. The only problem is that this ice cream parlor is just too popular! Lineups to get in cant take hours and they snake around the whole block. My suggestion, wait for a cooler or rainy evening and then make your move. You might only have to wait 15 minutes, and you will taste the best ice cream Cuba has to offer.

Book Testimonials

I like urban exploration, so I was happy to learn about the “hidden” places to explore in Havana. I loved walking inside the abandoned buildings. No other guides explain how to do this. If you actually want to explore Cuba on your own, and learn about Cuban life, you need this guide. Books from Globe Trekker, Lonely Planet and Rough Guide are pathetic in comparison.
Patrick Harper
The listings for the cheap casas particulares is awesome. I rented a large, private apartment, and it cost only $25 per night. I reserved the casa online and saved more than $10 per night. I avoided the hidden brokerage charges that other websites charge. Anyway, I saved a lot of money on a 10 day stay. Well worth the price of buying this book.
