We stayed in Havana for three nights and really enjoyed it. From our hotel there was a shuttle bus into old Havana and back. We did a guided bus/walking tour one afternoon just to get our bearings, then just ventured out on our own after that. Lots to do and see depending on what you like. Lots of little museums and such. We toured the cigar factory which was very interesting. Also visited a rum distillery. Lots of little squares to sit in and people watch. Little cafes to enjoy as well. If (when) we go back, we plan to take some baseballs to give out to kids. Everywhere we walked they were playing baseball but hardly ever saw any with a proper ball or other equipment. There is also the aquarium in the Miramar district. It was OK, but not spectacular. Still worth a look for the price of admission. It was just a block from our hotel, so of course we went.
