Havana - Calle Obispo

Perhaps Havana's most vibrant street, Calle Obispo is a great spot for an evening stroll. Well lit and perfectly preserved, the feeling of being there is like that of stepping back in time. The street has a pulse, a beat that makes it feel alive. Rich in history, architecture, and entertainment, the Calle Obispo is famous Cuba-wide.

The narrow roadway throngs with life in the evening and many restaurants are available including the world famous El Floridita.

Must-see attractions nearby:
Also of note is the Hotel Ambos Mundos, which will sound familiar to those who know of Ernest Hemmingway's life.

Fans of homeopathic and organic items should not miss Taquechel, a pharmacy selling Cuban notions and potions. If you are thirsty from all your walking around Havana, be sure to stop in at Casa del Agua la Tinaja which sells water filtered using an ancient method of ceramic filters.

The buildings that line the Calle Obispo are a mixture of Cuban baroque at one end and change to Art Nouveau Eclectic at the other.
