From God's perspective to the most minute callejรณn our map will be your treasured companion during your stay. StreetSmart Havana let's you experience the authentic Havana with confidence. Hike our recommended self-guided tours of the Malecรณn, Havanaโs musical history, its famed museums, and its cutting edge art galleries and gardens which are all clearly marked. Then indulge in a cocktail at El Floridita or Sloppy Joeโs, the old haunts of Ernest Hemingway or savor a mojito with a view from the roof top of the Saratoga Hotel. What makes Cuba different from most other places in the world is the absence of advertising, that constant tease we Westerns take for granted. Havana is uniquely rich in history as all shipments from the new world had to travel through Havana to Sevilla in Spain. Cuba is a world superpower of music and Havana an architectural treasure trove without equal. No American city can match its variety of styles ranging from the Plateresque to Cuban Baroque, Neoclassical to Art Nouveau, Deco to Mid-Century Modern and Soviet Brutalism. Cuba conjured a music so powerful it went around the world three times in the 20th Century alone. Classical composers such as Samuel and Cervantes invented Danzas and Contradanzas that with syncopation laid the foundation for โDanzon, Rumba, Ragtime, Salsa and Latin Jazz.โ Live music can be heard and danced to impromptu on almost every corner. We recommend you visit the spectacular reinvention of Fรกbrica de Arte Cubano in Vedado to experience the creative Cuban juices first hand. StreetSmart Havana is updated yearly and most current. Simplicity reigns supreme in information design to make complex cities clear and understandable. This is the smartest and easiest to use map of Havana. Remember web access in Cuba is limited to hotels, excruciatingly slow and up-to-date information simply unavailable. So, let StreetSmart Havana be your key to understanding the new world's oldest city. This sexy laminated city map package refolds easily to 4 x 9 inches (24 x 9 inches open) and snuggly fits into your pocket. Buy this map to become an instant StreetSmart Habanero. Review: Extremely helpful when staying in Old Havana - Planned a trip to Cuba right before the travel ban tightened down again. I did a decent amount of research/planning before going but decided to buy this map last minute on a whim and was really glad I did. The major museums, statues, and historical sites are all indicated on the map as well as a bunch of good restaurants/bars. I rained a couple days while I was there so the fact that this was laminated was perfect. I always carried this map and a sharpie with me to mark it up as I visited the different spots, it will definitely be a nice memory to look back at one day. Review: Even better than the offline map app! - This map is awesome! Just got back from Cuba and I couldn't believe how useful it was. I downloaded an offline map was was pretty good but this was actually even better. As a matter of fact, our host couldn't believe how useful it was so we left it with him for future travelers and I'm ordering another one. It has popular restaurants, places to visit and everything else you'd want. Water/humidity resistant and super lightweight. I recommend bringing a wax marker or white-erase marker for when you are in Cuba to keep track of where you are staying, where you want to go, etc.

The Very Best Havana Map
I have been traveling to Havana for over 20 years and have used many maps of different sizes and shapes. In January 2016, I was fortunate to have bought the Havana City Street Map by VanDam Maps. Nothing can compare to this map for convenience, clarity, and attractiveness. It fits comfortably in a day pack or purse and allows one to quickly stop, locate one's whereabouts and find where one is headed. In my last visit, I was helping to coordiate a tour group from the United States. Everyone enthusiasttically used the VanDam maps while nativating the city. I hope they create one for every city I plan to visit.

This worked pretty well. The map has the majority of the places you'r probably going to check out, and for the few that weren't on there it's easy enough to drop a mark with a sharpie. The map is laminated and heavy duty so it can put up with inclement weather and rum spills.

This map was very useful for getting around in Central Havana and Old Havana
I'm just back from Havana. This map was very useful for getting around in Central Havana and Old Havana. I wish I could give it only 4.5 stars, because there were a couple of places in Old Havana that weren't on it - a church and plaza where our group was headed. I'd recommend supplementing this with another map, even if it's just something you print at home off the Internet. I had my smartphone with me, and used an offline map app on it which also helped a lot. Essentially, my phone worked as a GPS which was great. But phone batteries run out of juice, while a handy folding map doesn't!

Best map of Havana we found
We were in Havana in February of 2020 and this map was incredibly helpful. Because we didn't have easily available internet service as we typically would while traveling, a map was essential. This one lays out the important parts of the city in one place and is very easy to read. Everyone in our group loved it and wished they had one.

I just returned from Havana. This map is worth every cent. We were looking for an educational experience & our Airbnb host sent us a list of places to visit. Before we left, we looked up where our apartment was located & places we wanted to see. The map was extremely helpful to plan our trip and find our way around the city.

Helpful but not the end all
I was in Havana the last week in March. This map was useful but frankly I found the individual maps in Baker's 2015 Moon guide to Cuba more helpful as I printed them out before I went so had only individual pages to consult rather than this large map. Still, the map is accurate and if you like the StreetSmart series you will find this quite useful.

Glad we brought it
Just got back from a week visiting Havana. We found this map very useful. It is compact, durable and well-designed so that you can easily open it and find where you are. We also found it reliable. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Havana, especially if you will be touring around on your own.

It also fits very easily in the pocket and looks good
A helpful map, but could be improved through use of a larger scale; particularly of the oldest part of town; as designed, there's a lot going on which can tend to be a little confusing. The relatively small scale meant that, at times, it was easier to interpret an area from a separate larger scale map that I'd taken with me. On the plus side this is an affordable, and very "usable" map in a "flexible coated finish" which stood up well to the wear it had over our 5 days in Havana. It also fits very easily in the pocket and looks good!
