Havana

Havana Synopsis

Guide of the Year at the 2021 Travel Media Awards

Havana Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city's most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences.

Facing the Atlantic with its Spanish colonial core, wedding-cake mansions, Art Deco towers and preserved-1950s hotels, Havana is utterly gorgeous. It is also a city on the cusp of change. In the last 10 years, the city has evolved from austerity to a happening place: new bars, privately owned restaurants, music venues, boutique stores and cultural events have transformed this city of two million people.

Divided into separate precincts, each section takes in one or more of Havana's districts, listing the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area, with insider reviews of both outstanding attractions and hidden gems, as well as easy-to-use maps.

Havana Pocket Precincts also has a selection of 'field trips' that encourages you to venture outside the city to Viñales, the Bay of Pigs and the eastern beaches.
