Havana's Habana Vieja (4.5 square km; pop. 105,000) is defined by the limits of the early colonial settlement that lay within fortified walls. Today, the legal boundary of Habana Vieja includes all that lies east of Paseo de Martí, and even Regla and Guanabacoa on the east shores of the bay. Don't underestimate how much there is to see in Habana Vieja. At least two days are required, and one week isn't too much. The maze of narrow one-way streets is purgatory for anyone with a motor vehicle, so walk. In any event, the main plazas and the streets between them are barred to traffic by huge artillery shells in the ground |
