The 10 Best Things to do for Honeymoon in Havana, Ciudad de la Habana Province
A city trapped in time, Havana captures the imagination like no other. Faded glamour meets careful colonial-era reconstruction with a backdrop of irresistible color. Walk El Malecón, the walkway bordering the ocean; visit Old Havana and the Catedral de San Cristóbal; and listen for salsa music, open-air bazaars and parties that last all night.

8. Museo Hemingway Finca Vigia
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,977 reviews
Once the Finca Vigia, this ghost-white Spanish-colonial home was where Papa penned some of his greatest novels.
Reviewed By VangroovyFoodie - Vancouver, Canada
Hemingway's Home is a 20 minute drive outside of Central Havana. The house sits on a hill and overlooks Havana. We didn't have a guide but read that others did and thought it was worthwhile. Unfortunately, we were not offered that option when we arrived. Even though we could not enter the house, you could really get a sense of how Hemingway and his family lived through the doorways and windows. You can see many rooms: living room, closet, bathroom, office, bedrooms, and dining room. Tip: While at the main entrance, ask the person inside the house to take photos. That is the only way you will see Hemingway's bedroom and bathroom, which is at the right side of the house and visitors do not have access to it. Make sure to give the person a couple of dollars. Definitely worth the money. The three-story tower beside the house is where Hemingway wrote his famous novels. Again, give the person your camera and they will take photos of his Corona typewriter plus the items on his desk. His boat, "Pilar", the pet cemetery, the pool (and shower room), the photos throughout, and the grounds complete Hemingway's beautiful Finca Vigía. Tips: 1. I suggest getting there when they open at 10:00 AM so you can miss many of the tour buses. 2. Determine the price for the roundtrip taxi ride. We paid 50 CUC (we felt it was reasonable for 2 hours of the driver's time roundtrip and because the taxi was a 1950s Chevy :). Many drivers were waiting for their customers in the parking lot and could enjoy a coffee or buy some snacks from locals while they waited. There is also a restroom there. Entrance fee is 5 CUC per person. Bathroom at the bottom of the tower (leave a tip). Souvenirs at the entrance and inside the small store by the parking lot. Map of Havana was 3 CUC (hard to find in general so happy to get it.) Please note, they do NOT take credit cards but you may pay with CUC or CUP.
9. Old Havana
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20,586 reviews
Bohemian, rhythmically Latin, certainly picturesque and, above all, charming.
Reviewed By Gantt-Tammy - Havana, Caribbean
La Habana is a great City to visit, old cars, great walks, good food and warm people, lots of live music, rum and cigars, history, art and plazas...be sure to hit Plaza de Revolution... The city has it all. The old City take a good day get through ...Sloppy Joe's, Floridita Street, and in modern Havana be sure to see Hotel Nacional and Tropicana. The Capitolo building is a great landmark to start from. If you can go inside, there is one of the largest diamonds in the world encased in the floor.
10. Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,564 reviews
An enormous fortress that fires its cannon every night.
Reviewed By Superkatt - Sweden, null
San Carlos de la Cabana Fortaleza de la Cabana is a historical park with a number of museums, on the other side of Habana harbour. The tunnel for car-traffic under the harbour is connecting both sides. Every day at 9 PM there is a gun salut, a huge touristic attractyion called "El Cañonazo de las 9”. During the colonial times this was a signal for closure of harbour for the night, and tradition is kept since. Large tourist hotels have a charterbuses going to the Fortaleza especially for this event around 8 o´clock and back around 9,45. There are lots of souvenir shops and kiosks on the site, as well as some food service. Interesting, beautiful historic performance and pleasant experience.
