Step into Old Havana’s historic heart!

Step into Old Havana’s historic heart 💃🏛️—where grand plazas, baroque cathedrals, and colonial charm call for a camera roll upgrade! This route threads through Havana’s most photogenic heritage treasures.

Start your walking tour at Plaza de la Catedral (4JRX+89R, La Habana), a gorgeous square alive with music, street art, and open-air cafes. Arrive early for soft morning light—fewer crowds, more magic. Snap the classic wide shot with Havana Cathedral’s facade framing the plaza’s bustle, then step closer for dramatic doorway angles.

Continue to Havana Cathedral itself (4JRX+F87, Empedrado, La Habana, Cuba). Step inside (usually open daily) and let stained-glass colors and soaring ceilings do their work; portraits, arches, and ornate chapels are must-captures.

Just steps away, dive into Cuba’s gentler side at Museo de Arte Colonial (61 San Ignacio)—open Tue–Sun, 10:00–16:00. The elegantly preserved interiors reveal mansion life from centuries past; look for vibrant tilework and sun-dappled patios.

Don’t miss Catedral de la Virgen Maria de la Concepcion Inmaculada de La Habana (156 Empedrado). Doors open Mon–Fri (09:00–17:00) and Sat–Sun (09:00–14:00)—peak afternoon sun for golden exterior shots; inside, hunt for antique altars and artistic details.

Tips: On a Cuban roadtrip, park near the plazas—parking is limited! Avoid midday heat; streets get lively but shade vanishes fast. Always bring cash for tiny museum entry fees and local snacks.
