Plaza de la Revolucion

Introduction

Plaza de la Revolución is both a municipality of Havana and the square that gives it its name. As a district of the Cuban capital, it forms one part of the city you can explore, with the square itself as its defining landmark.

Three days in Plaza de la Revolucion

Day one: Start at the Plaza itself, the vast open square in Havana that gives the district its name, and take your time crossing it on foot to get a sense of its scale. From the Plaza, head toward the Revolución area to see how everyday Cuban life plays out around such a monumental setting, with local streets and gathering spots offering a contrast to the square's formality.
