Local tip for your trip

If you’re aiming to enjoy one of Cuba’s best-reviewed experiences in Old Havana, try visiting the Plaza Vieja area late afternoon. The light softens and a handful of cafes open up for people to linger over coffee or a mojito. Weekdays here can feel a bit quieter, which means you’ll get a better chance to chat with locals or street performers without the big crowds you find on weekends. Plus, by staying into early evening, you’ll catch a great vibe as the area shifts from day to night.
