La Habana Vieja is the proper name for the central neighborhood Old
Havana in Havana, Cuba. If you visit Havana for the first time, this is
where need to go. If you’ve visited before, you probably still want to
return – even if only to sip a cold beer in the shade and watch the
hustle and bustle of the streets. If you live in Havana, you may
actually prefer other neighborhoods with less tourists.
