HAVANA, CUBA - If you're planning a Havana trip in 2018, my Cuba playlist could be for you! In this video we focus on New Havana and visit the following areas -
- Plaza de la Revolucion (Revolution Square) - this site of the Jose Marti Memorial and the famous Che Guevara and Fidel Castro artwork on the buildings opposite. By visiting here you can really understand more about Cuban history, in particular the Cuban Revolution and the overthrowing of the Batista government in 1959.
- Martin Luther King/Malcolm X Memorial - this is a real hidden gem which highlighted to me the struggles relating to black equality at those times.
- Coppelia Ice Cream - this is more fo a fun thing to do in Havana. Coppelia is a major ice cream chain in Cuba, no trip to Havana would be complete without a trip there in the Vedado area.
- Nuclear Missile Crisis Exhibition - this is accessible via the Nacional Hotel de Cuba and is free to enter, thoroughly interesting and informative, plus you can walk through the nuclear bunker!
Check out my Cuba playlist for videos from elsewhere in Havana, some hints & tips and some honest opinions!
I hope you enjoy your Havana trip!

Plaza de la Revolución or Revolution Square is a municipality (or borough) and a square in Havana, Cuba. November 2016
The municipality, one of the 15 forming the city, stretches from the square down to the sea at the Malecón and includes the Vedado district.
The Plaza is 31st largest city square in the world, measuring 72,000 square meters.[3]
The square is notable as being where many political rallies take place and Fidel Castro and other political figures address Cubans. Fidel Castro addressed more than a million Cubans on many important occasions, such as 1 May and 26 July each year. Pope John Paul II, during his 1998 first visit by a Pope, and Pope Francis in 2015, held large Masses there during papal visits to Cuba.
The square is dominated by the José Martí Memorial, which features a 109 m (358 ft) tall tower and an 18 m (59 ft) statue. The National Library, many government ministries, and other buildings are located in and around the Plaza. Located behind the memorial is the Palace of the Revolution, the seat of the Cuban government and Communist Party. Opposite the memorial are the offices of the Ministries of the Interior and Communications, whose facades feature matching steel memorials of the two most important deceased heroes of the Cuban Revolution: Che Guevara, with the quotation Hasta la Victoria Siempre (Until the Everlasting Victory, Always) and Camilo Cienfuegos (sometimes mistaken for Fidel Castro), with the quotation Vas bien, Fidel (You're doing fine, Fidel). It is also the site of several cultural institutions.
Construction of the square and the José Martí monument commenced during the Presidency of Fulgencio Batista. The square and the memorial were completed in 1959 (the year Fidel Castro came to power). It was originally called Plaza Cívica (Civic Square). After the Cuban Revolution (1959), it was renamed Plaza de la Revolución or Revolution Square. An elevator allows access the top of the memorial, at 109 m one of the tallest points in the city.
Der Platz ist mit 72 Tausend Quadratmetern[1] der größte innerstädtische Platz Kubas. Hier finden regelmäßig offizielle politische Kundgebungen statt. Fidel Castro sprach hier jährlich zu besonderen Anlässen beispielsweise am 1. Mai oder am 26. Juli vor mehr als einer Million Kubanern.
Der Platz der Revolution wird dominiert durch das José-Martí-Denkmal, bestehend aus einem 109 Meter hohen Turm und einer 18 Meter hohen Statue. Der Turm ist das höchste Bauwerk der Stadt und man kann mit einem Fahrstuhl bis an seine Spitze fahren.
La Plaza de la Revolución es una plaza pública de la ciudad de La Habana, Cuba, una de las más grandes del mundo con 72 mil metros cuadrados.1 Está ubicada en la municipalidad del mismo nombre.
Fue creada en tiempos del presidente Fulgencio Batista y originalmente se la llamó Plaza Cívica, aunque su fama internacional comienza con la Revolución cubana. En ella podemos encontrar el Monumento a José Martí esculpido por Juan José Sicre y frente por frente tenemos el Ministerio del Interior con la conocida imagen del Che Guevara tomada por el fotógrafo Korda hecha un relieve escultórico, obra de Enrique Ávila que dice Hasta la victoria siempre. En 2009 se inauguró la obra (del mismo artista y especificaciones técnicas) a Camilo Cienfuegos, otro gran héroe de la Revolución Cubana.
The former President of Cuba Fidel Castro died of natural causes at 22:29 (CST) in the evening of 25 November 2016. His brother, current state leader Raúl Castro, made an announcement about his death on state television.[1] International reactions followed, especially on Twitter. Most reactions were of praise, with the exception of some government officials in the United States. Cuban-Americans in Miami, Florida celebrated the occasion.
Following Castro's death, his brother Raúl Castro announced: According to the will expressed by comrade Fidel, his body will be cremated in the early hours of 26 November 2016.[4]
The casket carrying his ashes will lie in state for Cubans to pay homage to Castro at the José Martí Memorial in Havana on 28 and 29 November with a rally planned at the Plaza de la Revolución for 19:00 on 29 November. From 29 November to 3 December the casket carrying his ashes will travel along a 900 kilometre route to Santiago de Cuba, tracing in reverse the route of the Freedom Caravan of January 1959 in which Castro and his rebels took power. On December 3 at 19:00 a mass gathering will take place at Plaza Antonio Maceo in Santiago de Cuba and the next day, 4 December, the internment of Castro's ashes will occur at Santa Ifigenia cemetery in Santiago de Cuba, where Cuban national hero José Martí is also buried.
