"Rumba and Santería on Callejón de Hamel Take a stroll down the famed Callejón de Hamel on any day of the week to see murals inspired by Afro-Cuban religion and culture. For the real deal, weave through the crowd of tourists on Sunday morning and witness incredible live rumba music and dance."

Interesting and colorful street. It’s easier to come here on a bike tour.

Solo female traveler, went by myself and stayed for the music and dancing for a couple hours. Felt safe, lots of energy, be mindful and you’ll enjoy yourself. Got an overpriced coco taxi to old Havana. Bring cash to tip the performers.

SCAM!! Agreed with many of the other posts. Lying locals trying to be nice to tourists and overpriced drinks. This is so atypical of our visit to Cuba where most people are genuine. Simply stay away from this entire area near the University of Havana (guards don’t let tourists visit the University). Overall, there are is just a bunch of painted bathtubs. Scammer central around this area!

Hate to agree with a bad reviews of this place but I agree. It’s not worth going to at this time. Doesn’t feel safe, you will be harassed from entrance to exit and there is not much to it. We stayed 15 minutes as a group and without even communicating all quickly walked back to our bus. Hopefully will be developed into a better product in the future.

A vibrant and colorful alleyway located in Central Havana. The alleyway is known for its unique and eclectic artwork, which includes murals, sculptures, and installations created by local artists. The artwork often depicts Afro-Cuban culture and religion, with vibrant colors and intricate patterns. This area is a popular destination for both tourists and locals, with live music performances and dance shows often taking place in the alleyway. Visitors can also shop for souvenirs and handcrafted items at the market stalls that line the street.

Took a quick stroll through this very colourful alley and it was an interesting experience. The art definitely grabs your attention. There was a bit of an occult vibe to the place.

The art in this neighborhood is so different by the other parts of Havana, all the people are friendly and welcoming there.
