Full Day Local Havana Walking Tour and Havana by Night Tour (B)

Today, you will embark on an exciting 8-hour walking tour. Your Cuban guide will pick you up shortly after breakfast from your Casa Particular in the heart of Old Havana. This walk will feature the beautifully preserved colonial plazas of Havana Vieja and neighbouring streets. There, you will find Cubans living alongside visiting tourists, kids going to school and locals playing games of chess or chequers in the street sipping coffee from 'peso cafes'. All life seems to be concentrated in these atmospheric streets. Your Cuban guide will recommend some of the best restaurants and bars for mojitos and live music, and give you insights into how Cubans live today in this complex and beguiling country. First, you will start with a scenic walking tour of the four main colonial squares of Old Havana including 'Plaza Catedral', 'Plaza de Armas', 'Plaza San Francisco de Asis' and 'Plaza Vieja', then, you will have time to enjoy lunch in 'La Vitrola' restaurant – a cool Paladares with live music on the corner of Plaza Vieja. After lunch, we will walk a short distance for some light browsing/shopping in the Mercado San José before continuing to the 'Cerveceria Antiguo Almacen de la Madera y El Tabaco', the largest brewpub in Havana, housed in a former lumber and tobacco warehouse. Afterwards, the walking tour continues along the waterfront via the Orthadox Church, 'Havana Club Museum', Obispo and finally 'Parque Central'. There are many options for the afternoon depending on the client's preferences and of course, your guide will help you with any information you require or give you advice of what to do during your free timeIn the evening, your guide will pick you up from your Casa Particular at 7.30 pm. Usually the evening begins with a walk down Obispo to enjoy free live music in one of the many mojito/salsa bars before continuing to the famous Malecon to get into the mood and see what the local Habaneros do in an evening. Your Cuban guide has all the local knowledge and will make you comfortable wherever you decide to go! Please bring minimum an extra 15 CUC for entry to clubs, taxis and drinks which are not included. Pick-up from your Casa Particular and scenic walk through Old Habana stopping off at 'Floradita Hotel' andonwards to Parque Central to enjoy panoramic views from the rooftop terrace at 'Hotel Inglaterra'. Continue to the Malecon to hang out with local Habaneros and hear the famous cannon shot at 9pm from across the bay signalling that Habana is safe for the night… and that it’s time to head into Vedado to enjoy some Habana nightlife! Later on, there are many options in Vedado depending on your preferences. 'Fabrica de Arte' is open Thursday to Sunday, or if salsa dancing to a live band is your preference then 'Club 1830' is a popular option. For jazz lovers, 'La Zorra y Cuervo' or 'Jazz Café' host some of the best jazz you’ll hear anywhere in the world. Alternatively you can explore a combination of options including the 'Hotel Nacional', 'La Rampa' and ‘Coppelia'. Your guide will help you develop a plan to ensure maximum comfort and enjoyment.
