Neighbourhood

Nuevo Vedado is known for its tranquil atmosphere, which contrasts with that of the city center. This makes it an ideal place for travelers looking to escape the frenetic pace and experience the authenticity of neighborhood life. Nuevo Vedado is an open-air museum of modern Cuban architecture. The houses and buildings were built between the 1950s and 1960s. The neighborhood is located in the western part of Havana, near the Almendares River. In Nuevo Vedado there are several tourist attractions in the city: the Havana Forest (ideal for walks and outdoor activities), the Plaza de la Revolución (one of the most emblematic places in Havana), the Acapulco cinema (a few steps from our house) and the Havana Zoo (the oldest in the country). The Cuban Art Factory, although it does not belong to NV, is located nearby and is a meeting point for artists, art and music lovers.

Getting to my home

The best way to get to the house is by taxi. Taxis are always available at the airport. There is also a bus that runs through the city and at a lower price.

Nearest airport

Havana International Airport is a 30-minute drive from the house.

Getting Around

In the surroundings of our house we have several businesses that we Cubans call bodegones and they would be the equivalent of small supermarkets. Basic products are usually found in them, especially food. In addition, there are two agricultural markets within walking distance. In them, you can find fruits, vegetables and root vegetables, always in season.
