Go see the former presidential palace that now houses the Museum of the Revolution. Inside are many exhibits solely dedicated to the revolution that took place in Cuba some 50 years ago. It is also the point at which Fidel Castro gave one of his famous speeches and the Americans conspired to shoot him.

Also known as the Capitol building, this building was built in 1929 and looks very similar to the US capitol building in Washington D.C. Previously home to Cuba’s government it now houses the Cuban Academy Of Sciences.

While in Havana there are many things to do. These range from historical based activities to children’s entertainment. Go on a walking tour around the Old Town of Havana. This will take you to such places as the spot where Havana was founded, numerous plazas, a chocolate museum and the Havana Club rum factory/museum. Within the museum visitors are taught how rum is made and at the end get to sample the delicious produce of the factory.

This is the place from which Fidel Castro gives most of his famous 2-4 hour long speeches. You can also sit within the chair where Fidel Castro sits. Behind the José Marti statue there is also a museum located there which talks about the history of Cuba and Havana. However most of the exhibits are in Spanish – but it is easy to understand what is going on.

Visit the Castillo de Morro fort and the Jesus statue which is located opposite the bay of Havana. From here you can see spectacular views of the city as well as a fort used to protect Havana. You can also see the spectacular statue of Jesus and opposite Ché Guevara’s house – now a museum.
