Plaza de Armas

Awesome place to walking around.

The Plaza de Armas is a Must Go place. History, magic, folklore, music. This place is Cuba, or what Cuba was in some point. Is an oasis into the poverty and destruction. Loved it so much! You can find nice places to eat, Art, you can find craft sales, beautiful places to drink daiquiri or mojito, drink Cuban rum, the best in the world, and just by the Plaza there is the ocean. The Caribbean is just there with its warm wind.super recommended place.

Plaza de armas is a site full of history in la Havana 🇨🇺, the place is very beautiful to see but what we enjoyed the most was all the history behind it which you can only know by having a guide to explain it all to you so I’d recommend going with a tour guide all around la Havana.

It's one place I love the most of Havana. Very chill people and clean beautiful environment. It's like an oasis in the desert.

Beautiful open plaza right in the heart of Havana. Nearby the founding location of the city can be seen. Tour the ramparts and forts that protected this historic city. Stroll along a wooden paced street that is 300 uears old, and cosit the first church erected in the city. All this and more, surrounds the four sides of this plaza

This is a nice small park in downtown Havana to relax after exploring the area. There is enough seating space.

Super nice park, we enjoyed our little stay there a lot, so much greenery and so many plants, truly a beautiful park.

Plaza de Armas was our favourite plaza to people watch while we sat in the shade, resting our tired feet. The centre of the square is lush with palm trees and other tropical plants, while the perimeter is lined with elegant Baroque buildings. Plaza de Armas was built in the 1600s and was used for military exercises up until the mid-1700s. After undergoing a transformation, it became popular among rich Havana citizens and attracted people who wanted to enjoy carriage rides around the area. Plaza de Armas is invigorated by the second-hand book market that operates there every Tuesday to Sunday. Here you can browse Cuban classic books, now out of print, magazines dating back to 1940’s and 50’s, and newspapers from during the revolution.
