    Very Nice restored plaza in Old Havanna. Definitely recommend to have a breakfast or Coffee here at Café La Bohemia.

    Out of all the squares in the Old Havana, this was my favourite one in terms of beauty. Kids were playing soccer in the middle of the square, plenty of cafes and restaurants (apparently and according to our Italian friends from the resort we stayed in, they have great pizza at Estanzia Bohema), excellent vibe. We visited during the day.

    A wonderful place to be during the day; a nightmare at night if you’re living right next to it! People don’t sleep, once the music is done late at night, drunk people start fighting and dogs start barking! Lots is going on this place 😓 though I like the day vibes and architecture of this square.

    Beautiful plaza with colonial style buildings surrounding the plaza and brick paved. There are several restaurants and bars in and around the plaza definitely a must visit. You can see the buildings and surroundings have been beautifully renovated. Just beware of the usual scams and beggars that may approach you.

    Plaza Vieja is one of the most beautiful and lively squares in Havana, surrounded by stunning colonial buildings and filled with vibrant cafes, restaurants, and art galleries. The architecture is impressive, and there’s a lot to explore in the area. However, be mindful of the sun, especially during midday. The square has limited shade, so it can get quite hot. I recommend visiting in the morning or late afternoon, and be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and water to stay comfortable. Despite the heat, it’s a must-visit spot to soak in the atmosphere of Old Habana

    Ancient Crumbling Buildings thru out Old Havana. Lots of Begging from all age groups and genders. Good Music and So so Foos.

    A very nice square, especially during the day. There are always some events taking place here. Many restaurants and cafes are located here. Because they are located in this square, the prices are not that affordable. The fountain is located in the middle of the square, as well as other sculptures. The evening is also very nice, music, dancing, just to enjoy.

    This is described as a visual feast, showcasing a blend of architectural styles baroque to Art Nouveau, each with its unique character. Some have stained-glass windows and arched structures and along with this being the main Havana Square makes it a great place. However in the past it witnessed public events like executions, processions, and bullfights. Unfortunately some of the more iconic features were abolished apparently in the late 1930’s. Plus, this is one of the main places to get wifi connections in the weird way to access the internet in Cuba.
