Detailed Description

During this bike tour we will visit the three most outstanding suburbs of the city of Havana - Old Havana, Centro Havana, and Vedado. The most remarkable buildings of the city (and perhaps the country) are located in these suburbs.

The tour begins around Wilfred Lam Park where we will match you with your bike and helmet. From there we visit several places of interest, some which are famously Havana and some which most tourists never get a chance to enjoy. As we wind our way through the neighborhoods of Habana Vieja, Centro Habana, and Vedado, you’ll see key landmarks, hidden gems, and local life. Highlights include John Lennon Park, Revolution Plaza, Callejon de Hamel, and Chinatown.

We’ll share a light lunch to talk to talk about what we’ve seen and to give you advice for the rest of your time in Havana.

This tour covers 17kms with a couple of steep hills, however the frequent stops allow you to stay relatively fresh. It may even leave you with the desire to keep on riding to discover more of Havana's hidden secrets!
