Malecon

An only lime stone rockwall, by the sea. It makes for amazing shots with the waves crashing against it as the sun goes down. It’s also full of life, being a popular hangout place. This is a must when you are visiting. If you want to relax and hang with the locals or get the best photos, El Malecon is a Must.

Hotel Nacional

The Hotel Nacional de Cuba was declared a National Monument and it was inscribed in the World Memory Register. With its privileged location in the middle of Vedado, the center of Havana, it stands on a hill just a few meters from the sea, and offers a great view of the Havana Harbor; the seawall and the city.
