The square is notable as being where many political rallies take place in Cuba. You’ll see the famous faces of Che Guevara and Camilo Cienfuegos – important figures during the Revolution.
Not only do you get to learn about the history, but you can see what makes Havana unique. See the vintage cars lining the streets and admire the colonial architecture from the squares.
I highly recommend you check out the Revolution Museum. It’s about $8 CUC for the entry fee. You’ll learn about the Revolution from the Cuban perspective.
It’s quite a large museum with lots of beautiful artwork so I think you need about 3 hours to explore every floor. We only had one hour and it wasn’t enough.
Playas des Este is the closest beach to Havana and its simply stunning. This white sand beach is just a stone’s throw from Havana, and boasts pristine shores and azure waters.
