Kristin and I still felt like we had not seen everything we wanted to see in La Habana, so we decided to continue our walk around the city. This time it was concentrated in Habana Vieja. We followed the “Habana Vieja Walking Tour” that was recommended in my Cuba Lonely Planet guide; starting around Plaza Vieja and ending around Catedral de San Cristobal de la Habana. The walk took us about two hours in total. Heads up, be prepared for photo sensory overload!
The following photos were all taken within the vicinity of Plaza Vieja:
Of course, we took a little break in a shaded park to listen to a man croon Cuban ballads with his guitar.
And then we continued on walking and all of the following photos were taken within the vicinity of Catedral de San Cristobal de la Habana:
Needing to majorly cool down, the two of us met up with Marc and headed to Playa del Este again. . .
The architecture and colors are beyond stunning. The couple we photographed last weekend is in Cuba for their honeymoon and I am just imagining them walking around seeing all these same amazing sights as you!
These pictures are so beautiful! I adore all the bright colors and the cars are great!
I want to go!
My favorites are the archway with the blue ceiling and the last lady. Love these!

Gorgeous photos Andi – I feel like I am right back to 11 months ago when I wandered the streets of Havana 🙂
I love those buildings against that bright blue sky, but I think I have to agree with you – that last photo is the best!
Love this. Great pics.
That book didn’t make it back to the US with us, though, did it, as we were so scared of being found out! Silly Americans =)
FANTASTIC photos, Andi!! Did you dye your hair?!! 🙂 Nice one!! How fun to find that fellow playing music. I just love all the bursts of color you captured. How cheering! 🙂
Incredible photos, as always!
Some great shots…love it!
Oh, wow. Your blog is so fun! It makes me want to save my pennies and travel !
I can see why you framed that one…It’s amazing!
I’m surprised how majestic it seems. So many of the buildings look truly majestic … and of course it helps that you take amazing pictures.
Ahhh Cuba. Looks like you had a great time. Great shot of the lady smoking the cigar. I don’t even smoke, and got through a few Monte Cristo number 4’s myself. Finished with a serious head ache thought.
Havana looks like paradise for photographers. Simply gorgeous photos.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
I love photo sensory overload, you always capture the great details.
I love your photos. We have similar tastes — windows/balconies with one person off center, locals, etc. Can’t really explain. I can’t believe I lived in Miami for four years and never went to Cuba!
Cuba….
Love the cigar lady.
Excellent photos!
awesome! I love these pics. Cuba looks amazing!
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful photos as always! Was thinking they would make a nice collage but you already have that last one in your office. Nice!
This weblog is superior!
Excellent photos. They really capture the essence of the place.
Beautiful photos, the last one is really cool.
I love the photo of the woman with the fan. Gorgeous. I’m so jealous of all your travels!
Awesome capture.Thanks for sharing these pictures Andi……..
Are you a US citizen? How were you able to get the necessary paperwork to travel to Cuba?
Your photos just get better and better.
Always love your photos. The one with you and the musician is so nice.
Ditto on the photos! I went to Cuba with my family when I was a kid. I remember thinking it was sad that the historic buildings were crumbling, and the contrast between the poor sections and resorts was stark.
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Hey Andi, I think I have finally convinced Shaun to go. Fantastic pictures!
Simply discovered your web page through google and I consider this one of the best travel websites out there now!!!
Fantastic pictures! I hope to make it to Cuba next year. This provides even more motivation to get myself sorted so that I can hop on that plane!
great shots ! i too love the woman and the cigar, classic!
Great photos, Andi. I’m especially partial to the 3rd one, with its contrasting colours and terrific arches that you captured in one frame.
Looking forward to more pics!
