transportation. Points of interest in this part of town include La
Catedral de San Cristóbal de La Habana, the Palacio de los Marqueses de

the leaders of the Cuban independence movement).
The Palacio de
los Capitanes Generales is also located on the Plaza de Armas, which now
houses the Museo de La Ciudad. You will find the oldest colonial
fortress on the plaza’s northeast sector, the Castillo Real de la
Fuerza, whose construction began in 1558.
The city is home to various museums, and depending on your area of
interest, there is practically a museum for everyone. One of the city’s
(and the island’s) most prominent attractions though, are its music and
clubs. Everywhere you go you will hear and feel the music and see people
