2. Vedado (from USD 28)
Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing
Vedado is another interesting destination in Cuba. Unlike Old Havana, which is the center of the Cuban culture, Vedado is more of a business district. It can be reached within a few minutes from Old Havana as it is situated only 4 km (2.5 mi) away. While you are here, you can take in the beauty of Bahia de la Habana, Cuba’s main port. You can also take a walk around Plaza de la Revolucion, a grand square that was built to honor national heroes.
